For your 2005 Toyota Tacoma, I recommend the Brophy Clamp On Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # HSAB. These tie downs clamp into the bed rail of your truck to provide the attachement point for your camper. It comes with Neoprene pads to protect your truck's paint. I've attached a photo with the dimensions for you to confirm a fit.
Another option is to use the Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie Downs - Bed Mount - Black Powder Coated Steel - Qty 4 # TDSF. This comes with 3 removable spacers to allow a tight fit in your stake pockets. I've attached a photo of these dimensions as well for you.
With either option, I recommend the Brophy Basic Turnbuckles w/ Hardware for Camper Tie-Downs - 3,000 lbs - Qty 4 # TDHP. This turnbuckle will expand from 7-5/8 inches to 20 inches and with the included chain and S hook can reach up to 19-3/4 inches.
