Any ideas for bed floor tie down mounts up front??

I need some strong tiedown points in the front floor of my 08' bed and unfortunately as you know the Tacoma comes with none .

I have searched for a D ring to install on the frame/bed bolt but can't find anything. Any ideas out there? I figure this is the best and strongest place to install something?

I did do a search but could not find anything on here...although I am sure it is!

Thanks!

What about the Toyota "D" rings ? I just put a set in the front as well, no issues

 

Those are $$$ compared to the dodge ones.

 

Thanks guys - great help! Any idea on the load rating for the OEM D rings? I hear it is on the owners manual, but I don't have one of those unfortunately.

 

TRDparts4u - $21.25
Dodge 05104500AA - $3.50

 

Where did you buy those Dodge d-rings at for that price?

 

try this

 

thats f'ing awesome!

 

Here is what i did

I was in a rush but needed to tie down a large bike so i picked up a set of these $10



Those were to handle bear the brunt of the weight -- they are attached straight to the frame. Pretty damn strong

then for side to side stability i added these over sized d-rings. I ideas was to put a large plate on the other side of the fiberglass so as to give more area to the bolts so it would not pull through. Never got around to it -- pretty strong with out it but i will get around to it -- bout $6. I sometimes put my kids in the back when we go on the beach or some slow dirt roads. They provide a firm place for them to hold on to or when you need to strap something like a box in the bed to it doesnt slide around and there and no attachment points on what ever it is you have in the bed. A strap goes right over from side to side.

the best thing is that it is cheap

 

There's a whole thread with info on the ArmySurplusWarehouse (?) options, including a fantastic D-ring intended for HMMWV type vehicles. They bolt under the bed bolts fine, are extremely strong, and other than having to grind the bed bolt ridges off so you can remove/reinstall the original washer, install without modification.

 

shipping is ridiculous though..

 

No shipping wasn't very bad, plus you get five D rings for around $10.00.

 

ok, well then they rattle...

 

If you can hear them you've got worse problems.

 

I dipped all my Army Surplus rings in Plasti Dip and they don't rattle any more! When I first installed them without the plasti dip, it sounded like I had a bunch of sleigh bells in the back

 

I've never noticed.

 

Like being partial to having my windows open?

 

Plasti-dip seems the way to go for you then. I swear I've never really noticed them, but I don't roll my windows down very much at all, and have a pretty decent set of subs behind the rear seat.
