Customer states "MY TRUCK BED IS LOOSE!?"😳😮😱
Hey guys, today we have the bed fully removed from a Toyota Tacoma. The reason for this, one of the mounting bolts is stripped. CSW had to put on his thinking cap on this repair. Enjoy!

But why was the guy taking the bolts out , jus for the fun of it?
Hows the next guy gonna get that nut off now? Lol
I would do it the same way the owner did-stick it to someone else.
Showed up for the repair, stayed for the sound effects.
I would use a clip on nut. Or drill 3 small holes and weld the nut to the frame
Could you not have drilled a bigger hole in the original nut without removing it and re threaded it to accomodate a bigger bolt?
Drill out the old nut instead of knocking it out. Slip a new nut underneath it. Run the new bolt through the old nut and engage the new nut. Drive a tapered drift through the side hole in the frame to engage the flat on the new nut until it's tight enough to bind on it's own. No need to remove the bed.
I would’ve used a steel nutsert
I should have used a riv-nut.
Just weld it, its Diesel. Diesel is not flammable.
Cover everything in wet towels and weld it. Full send.
Go to Dollar Tree and buy the big sponge and cut a piece out to hold the nut in place, tape it in place until you can start the thread and hit it with the impact.
A clip-on nut, also known as a sheet metal nut or a speed nut (but this is ambiguous, see speed nut), is a type of nut designed to be clipped to sheet metal. It is a type of captive nut commonly made as a cage nut.
This is what you want to do this job. 👍
I would have helicoiled the old one.
pop a bolt from underneath, tack it in a couple places, when the bed goes back on ise a nit and washer then cut the bolt off flush
Nutzerk/Nutsert/Rivet Nut
Slid on clip but or you could've drilled the OEM hole and oversize tap for oversize bolt with no need to pull bed
JB weld it to the frame.
I would have left the bed on, Installed a heli-oil into the stripped oem nut.
OR, simply drill & tapped that oem nut with the next bigger size.
!
You guys never show how you do anything
