Never heard of those pads, was going to buy a dakine last year but they were out of stock. Hows the quality for that pad?

Always been curious how those anchors are installed. Any insight?

There is a plate on the inside that when you tighten the two screws on top the plate comes up and locks on the under side of the bed rail.I found that you should use a little white lube on the under side where the stainless steel ring meets the mounting plate,this way when you need to use it the ring will come up.

I also have a custom made trashcan formed to butt up to the back of the center console, if anyone is interested:)

I wouldn't mind seeing the trash can!

Speaking of trash can mods, I did this infamous mod to my 2001 F-150 and don't see why it wouldn't work on a 2009+. Best part, only costs $3.95 (well maybe more with inflation since I originally came up with the idea).
