    T slots have a special type of T nuts which can be slid in from anywhere (not just from the sides)
    The T nuts for tundra/tacoma on Amazon have to be slid in from the side. I am wondering if there are any roll in type nuts available which do not need side access and can go in from anywhere?

    I think you are correct. There is a difference between the two. Oh well...

    lol. Beef rack is the name for the GFC rack system, the nuts they sell for it also fit the Toyota bed rail system apparently.

    Thanks, the hondagarage ones are much better deal. Maybe Amazon will start stocking similar ones at an even cheaper price

    Seems like you could easily modify end rail nuts to look like the install anywhere. A little filing and test fitting
