    Anyone can happen to guide me on where to buy retrax stake pocket rails for a tundra crewmax?
    Or if anyone has a used one and is selling it.

    What are you looking for? I am not aware of any of the Retrax rails using the stake pockets or allowing you to use them post install. The rails sit on the top of the bed sides and cover half the stake holes (this is true for both MX and RX rails for a 2.5 gen tundra)

    What year is your truck?

    2018 tundra. The mx rails cover ½ of the stake. But I was looking up a tundra stakeout. There is a notch to help open up the section so you can add a Thule tracrac base rail on top of it.

    i know you can buy new kits with the stake but can’t seem to find anywhere just selling the rails with stake.

    I'm not seeing that when I Google and haven't seen that before. Sounds like you can just notch the MX rail to use the stake pocket?
    Hopefully someone else knows what you are wanting and can chime in.

    You can use a Dremel to trim out the ReTrax rails to open up the stake pockets. Easy peasy....

    Yeah I was thinking of using using a flush cut router but the trim piece is some sort of metal? Or is it just a hard plastic?

    The bed rail cover over the stake hole is ABS plastic. A serrated knife will cut that out quick. But...you still need a Dremel or something equivalent to trim out the ReTrax rail....
