I bought these Tie Down Anchors to use on my Large Ruff Land Kennel and they work perfectly! Another review says to use 3/8 diameter by 3/4 inch bolt with these on the kennels but the correct dimensions are 3/8 diameter by 1/2 inch bolts which I can attest to. A review on the Ruff Land site also confirms that as well. No washer is needed; just use a lock washer. This a a very formidable and money-saving solution to the $25 ones that Ruff Land tries to sell. I spent ~$8 for these and ~$4 for bolts and lock washers. ~$12 out the door! Also, my dog is a 75lb 9-month old Pit Bull German Shepherd Mix and a size Large Kennel works great for car travel in case anyone is wondering about kennel size. He can't sprawl his legs full stretch, but he can sit and lay down comfortably and I have piece of mind he won't shake around back there and he is secure. It's hard to post this review anywhere else so I thought I'd mention it here! You're welcome! If you have a giant breed dog, go for the XL Kennel. And if you are using it for airline travel, XL is probably recommended by the airline regulation. But for car travel a Large Kennel will work for most dogs 95lbs or less. Also these Tie Down Anchors are universal on all kennel sizes and work with all kennels from Ruff Land Kennels. Lastly, I used JACO Ratchet Tie Down Straps rated for (1,823 lbs). It's overkill and they are overkill in length at 1in x 15 ft. but once you get your set up you can cut the remaining slack and burn the edges.
Update: my dog is now a year old and this kennel is anchored well with these clips still. My dog is 75lbs still. I tied the kennel down from the anchors on the top of the kennel through the bottom-middle anchors in the back of my SUV on both sides of the kennel (strapping it to the other top side of the kennel). This leaves storage space on both sides of the kennel. Your setup may vary depending on the anchors available in your SUV. It is easy to remove this setup when I go to Costco, and add it again to take my dog to the dog park or pet store! I love it!
