    How are you guys locating and cutting out the stake pocket holes in the plastic bed rails on your Gen 1 Tundras? I'm thinking a guy can probably just locate the general area to be cut out by eyeballing the interior of the bed and seeing the stake pocket location and then make the cuts with a Dremel tool or an sharp cutting tool. Am I on the right track? TIA

    pull up the plasic bed rail caps to locate where the stake pockets are. Look on youtube, there are vids out there showing how to remove, reinstall the caps. That way you are not guessing.
