Picking this camper up tomorrow. Just found out it doesn't have any turnbuckles. Its going on a 2018 tacoma short bed. Any and all info is appreciated.
 
My dealer seemed to have one turnbuckle size for all models. My Grandby needed an additional 3 inch quick link for all four corners. The turnbuckle hooks are 5/16ths diameter steel and 5 inches overall length. The center body is aluminum and is 6 inches long. Minimum overall length is just over 10 inches. Maximum overall length with full thread engagement is 15.0 inches

Hey, thanks Jon for that info and photo. I was able to stop at an Ace on the way and think I'm set. I think the internal bed mounts should have the quick links on them but if they don't that'll be a quick easy purchase.

Are you talking about the factory tie downs or forged eyebolts?
I'm not a Tacoma expert but it's my understanding composite beds require additional metal plates.
 
Composite bed Tacoma you need to have the special bars attached to your bed.That's where the hooks are that you attach the turnbuckles to
