    Every so often I need a canopy on the truck so I picked up a used canopy and when I went to secure it to the bed I realized the Tundra doesn't have the traditional under bed rail space to use a normal canopy clamp. I had to get creative with securing it by removing the rail inside the bed to get the clamps somewhat in place but I'm sure there are better ways of doing it.

    How is everyone mounting their canopies to their trucks? Bonus for pictures.

    I found these on Amazon that says they mount in the rail system but they don't say what year of Tundra. Does anyone have any experience with these?

    I had my canopy mounted by the dealer I bought it from but it looks like they used a clamp that mounts to the bed rail system - similar to what you shared above. I'll go grab a photo for you.

    EDIT: I misspoke. The clamps are integrated into the canopy construction, but do utilize the truck bed rail. Here are some photos: IMG_7241.jpg IMG_7242.jpg IMG_7243.jpg

    That's a clean mounting system. My canopy rails don't extend far enough into the bed to mount that way but it's good to see how they used the rail system to secure. Thanks for the pics...
