Mounting plug under box rail
Has anyone mounted a plug/receptacle under the box rail be left wheel well? That's where it was or where dealer put it on my '03. Seems that everything I see now is a hole is drilled into box wall bet...

If you are just wanting to mount a L bracket for the plug on the bedside wall, I would use either a #10 or #12 by 3/4" self tapping screw(s}, these will be around a good 1" in length. The distance between inside and outside can be any were from 3+" close to the bottom to 1/2" or less at the top.
Hope this helps some.
This is fairly close to what I want to do. The L bracket would mount underneath the boxrail and plug would go into it. Don't know how much of a gap there is between top of rail to bottom, but I'd think there should be at least 1/2". HOWEVER, the L bracket could've been mounted sideways below the boxrail and plug mounted like a normal plug in it on my '03. Sad as this may sound, I never once looked at it closely as it just plain worked and never had a problem.
