Reddit mentions: The best t-slot nuts

I keep some backup clothing. Specifically wool socks, boots and extra gloves and hat. If I get stranded and have to trudge through the snow I wanna be prepared.

Recovery straps arent too expensive either. I think mine was like $30. Get a hitch shackle too if you're gonna do that.

Besides that I keep extra fluids and litter or salt in a box in the back. I got one of these cause I didnt want anything permanent, and just chain it in the bed. Also sand bags for weight - this year I'm planning to build a frame to hold them in place.

Over summer I also built this rail-mount shovel holder, mostly to keep it from bouncing around or getting easily lifted. Its not really secure but its better than just tossing it in there. I used these clamps and these t-slot nuts for the rail. Hardware came from lowes, 3/8"-16, i think they were 1 1/2 inch bolts, washers, and the aluminum bar.

I need to dig up the links I ordered from. I have two different kinds, and I think the better of the two didn't work.

I think these are the ones I'm using in the D-bot:

I switched partway through my build, and it made things so much easier to adjust, because they don't dig in at weird angles.

The one caveat I've got is that at that point, I'd redesigned most of the parts I was using, and adjusted the bump-outs to align them into the v-channel to have some clearance around the bolts. I'm not 100% sure if the stock parts will grip properly. I think they will, as the nut will probably dig into the plastic a bit when tightened, but I can't say for 100% sure they will.

You will need a Drill and a 3/8" or 1/2" drill bit. Drill out the stock hole in the bottom of the quickfist to make the hole larger, the screws will then fit through. Put the T-Nut in the bed-rail and slide it down to where you want it. Screw the Quickfist to the T-Nut and you get what you see above! Insert your tool of choice!

Easy! Bed rail nuts

Lots of cheap options on Amazon. If you don't want the bar you can get a couple of these t-nuts that fit inside the track and screw the fork mount into that for an out of the way semi permanent options.
