    Lots of us have these Eye nuts on our racks and vehicles. Most of the places that sell them are not that inexpensive. I know that at one point I was able to pick them up in bulk form a USA distributer when I was doing some sound work . Now I can't find them except at retail pricing which I feel is expensive.

    here are a few of the links I am looking at right now.

    So the BLACK Front Runner version is what I want. But in bulk - ~40 of them.

    Front runner sells them for the roof racks. I was intending on using them for the same purpose just need a Larger quantity of them and at the pricing they charge, I would go broke quick.

    Using them in a similar manner in my bed also. using the rails that are already there.

    Another thought was to use them in place of the bolts that hold my rails to the camper top from below.

    This guy already used some.

    I have seen others use them for various things also. Tie downs are awesome.

    Well let us know where you decide to get them. One of those links said $0.69. :notsure:
    May become a good future source.
