    I wanted a stronger and easier way to attach a rack to my taco using the tie-down track system.

    I used 1/4" thick by 1" wide stock to fit inside rails. Then I welded on a #3 rebar along the centerline of the length of the stock. Finally I welded on a threaded coupler perpendicular to the rebar. I also welded a sleeve type washer to the side of the rack rails.
