🔩 Te-Co 41406T Black Oxide 1018 Steel Tapped T-Slot Nut, 3/8"-16 TPI, 5/8" Height x 7/8" Width x 9/16" Table Slot (Pack of 5) Review

Great addition to your Toyota Tacoma bed. Much better than the huge chunky boots that are out there. Paired with D-ties and 3/8-16 1" socket head screws. Ordered all through Amazon. Can order more!

Well if you use them in a bed rail you will soon notice rust and then you will probably spend hours examining the metal to check learning that 1018 steel with a black oxide coating (which scrapes off the first time it is screwed in) is not what you need for automotive applications, and you save yourself the tedium of being a half-day metallurgist by simply buying stainless steel screws from the start. Rust aside, they are solid and fit well on the trail.

If you overtighten them, the top edge will start to come out. Second, you need to be sure you don't attach it to the notches cut into the rail system or it will definitely slip through and not attach properly. I would be happier with a big shouldered t-slot nut as it would fully engage the rail with no…

Screws did not thread very smoothly into these nuts. For one thing, it was insignificant; a little difficult to fully deploy two of them. I had to use tools to slide the bolt through the last two. I had to take them to my workbench, put them in a vise, put some WD40 on the threads and use a ratchet and screw to clean the threads. This bolt still works, but it definitely failed. I'm giving it 3 stars because now that the threads are clean and the screws go in and out smoothly, they work as I…
