Hello guys

I would like to add some anchors in my truck bed, I am thinking on adding around 4 or 6... my question is.. is there any specific area where I should not drill?

I cant understand how is the bed designed.. because you can see several areas with different levels, I will try to explain it, sorry about my english.. I meant. some areas are like Bas-relief, my thought was.. OK. dont drill in those areas, because the space looks thinner... but then I realized that the Light, 12V hole, and the original anchors are placed in those areas, so it seems that those places are designed to drill or to install new tools, etc. Any experience?

Finally, I took a picture to show what I am trying to say.. it would be better and easier.

It looks like you have one of those plastic drop in liners. I think that's what you are seeing, and that doesn't represent the 'true form' of the metal bed itself. If that is true, there are places behind it that accepts anchors. They have threaded holes to attach something like seen here:

There are several places that have threaded holes already in the bed. (At least US spec models) they are threaded for 6 & 8 mm bolts. I bought stainless steel ones from Amazon in both sizes. There are 3 or 4 on the piece that goes right behind the rear window across the bed there are 4 6mm holes on each side up under the bed rails
