Adding D-rings to the bed floor

Hi,

I am new here; I recently bought a new (to me) Tacoma 2012 4x4, and I want to add a few more of the factory D-rings / tie-downs to the floor of my bed. I have seen them on ebay for around $25.
My question:
Are the Toyota factory D-rimgs the best choice? Are there better options?
Are there holes for additional D-rings in the frame (under the bed)?
Can anyone who has done this post pics and or comments?

So far, this will be my first mod. But checking out some of the "builds" is giving me ideas. Too bad my wallet cant keep up with my wish-list.

I used these ones and they work great, I use them all the time. If I remember correctly I may of had to widen the hole a bit for the bolt to fit through it. Good luck!

 

Thanks for the info and links.... I will check that out.

Yep, these worked out great for me! Drill out the holes, dremel the nibs on the bed bolts to separate the washers from bed bolts, throw some paint on the bare metal, and reattach with the washer below the D-Ring.
