Warning: If drilling holes in your bed triggers you, click the back button. If spending money on something you don't need and only like the look of it triggers you, click the back button. If you have to ask why, click the back button. If you need to type I wouldn't do that, then click the back button.
Now, let's get down to business. I installed a Milwaukee Packout Wall onto the headrail of my bed. The cost was minimal compared to retail options. I bought two Packout wall panels from Home Depot for $80. I bought some additional items I wanted for another $20, but these items are something that many of you likely already have in your shop.
I drilled four holes in the bed and installed 1/4-20 nurserts. The top of the panels attach here. I made a wood spacer 60"x2.5"x1.5" deep and this goes behind the panels at the bottom. I installed 1/4-20 threaded inserts in the spacer and used four bolts to attach it to the bottom of the panels. The spacer fills the gap between the panels and the bed. The bottom of the wall is not attached to the bed, though at a later date I may anchor them to the factory tie downs. For now the Bedrug holds the bottom in tight. That's it. Easy peasy.
The wall will hold 3 large Packouts, or 6 small Packouts, or a combination of both.
It's useful truck bling to me. I have nothing to even put on the wall. Let's compare prices. This will cost around $80+. I considered BuiltRight's offering, but the equivalent wall would cost $695. Integral has a less expensive offering at $300. Neither of these companies have product for my 6.5 bed, only the 5.5 bed.
