xtirtzt · 01-29-2009, 02:38 PM

will tundra tie down cleats fit our bed rail system... i just want to get the cause i see a better deal on ebay for those rather than the ones for the tacoma.. plus there metal so they match my silver taco better... and has anyone used them to haul a dirtbike... they say that have a 220 pound rating

Don't use them for a dirt bike. You'll rip the rail system right out of the bed.

I've actually been wondering how much weight those bed rails can handle...

Krazie Sj · 01-29-2009, 02:49 PM

221lbs probably...

lifesaflaw123 · 01-29-2009, 02:51 PM

or 219...

I have seen a tacoma use the tundra bed cleats so yes.

URBIKESUCKS · 01-29-2009, 03:16 PM

I have had a dirt bike in the back using the rails as tiedown for 3k and no issues. I have had the trk up to 90 up and down the smokey mountains and nothing, no problems, maybe I have been lucky???

i used the cleats for my YZ250f and my DRZ400 for 3 years now and no problems. I would not put my sportbike back there using the cleats but the dirtbikes seems to be okay. I will say that they are not the most sturdy looking in the world and will probably break next time i use them since i wrote THIS - but so far are okay.

okay okay - - where was that link to the site to buy new d-rings for the bed? been meaning to do it for 3 years now!!!

theres a reason why its for tundra

phantom · 01-29-2009, 06:06 PM

ok i do not have a dirt bike
but look at the rails and what they are mounted to .
and you are going to draw it tight so the bike won't flex

i see a accident happening soon

maybe just me but i would spend $160 and not worry about it with a bike rack , something like this
