    I got a strap with two drings on it for 3 bucks. Melted a hole in it and used bed bolts to secure. image.jpg

    I'm not sure I'd trust that for holding down something like a motorcycle.

    Your guys' youtube link was great....put these in the next day or two later. Simply removed the two bolts, filed down the threads to allow the washer to slide off and put my new D-Rings in it and put the washer back. only downfall is they don't spin freely like my rear D-Rings, but they work!

    Did you add a support plate or is there a direct mounting position for these?

    Limited wheels, extra rope hooks in bed.
    I centered them by measuring where I wanted to place the hooks then drilled the two holes. There is no set location. Then I just used a couple of washers that the 2 bolts would fit through, about 3/8" center hole, and were about 2" in diameter to spread the area where the stress would be. These work great as I've used them 100 more times than the other stock hooks.20160830_182352.jpg

    I use the supplied bed rail rings for my bike. These are for lighter loads.
