    Previous owner got rid of the bed rail caps. Couldn’t tell you why. Tonneau maybe?

    Anyway, anyone have any clue if it’s possible to find a replacement set? Just need sides, I have the tailgate piece.

    If not, any ideas on alternatives? I have spray on bed liner wrapped over the edge so mostly just interested in blocking the holes.

    The full length rails or just the stake hole caps?

    Maybe some of the rclb guys will chime in, but it looks like the long beds didnt have a full length plastic cover.

    Ah, interesting. I was beginning to wonder. I don’t think I’ll bother then. This became relevant when I hooked up a new back up cam tailgate handle and was thinking about moisture, but the insides of those side bed panels are wet all the time from tire spray.

    I’ll see what I can do for generic hole caps.

    Parts page for your truck's bed assembly is here and tailgate assembly is here

    I'm not finding a part for your plastic rail cap. Nor a stake hole cover. Which means Toyota likely doesn't make it.

    fairly stock
    I actually threw mine out too. When the rear window was down, I would notice the cover "bouncing" and making noise and wrongly found out it wasn't the rail coveres. Didn't help by removing those so I went on Facebook marketplace and searched and found a junk yard with a recent wreck and was able to purchase for $50 each. Lesson learned, don't throw out your parts. :cheers:

    I try to embrace the "don't throw out your parts" philosophy but end up with a corner of the garage that looks like the overflow of a scrap metal dumpster.
