Extra D-Rings

Do the Toyota extra D-rings fit in the bed bolts in the front of the bed?

Has anyone tried this?

 

In the picture it doesn't look like they will fit...

 

Yes, they will fit but you will have to trim a bit off the washer on the bed bolts.

This is pretty much what I did and they work great!! I pack a full-sized dirt bike around all of the time and this way is a lot more secure then using the plastic bed rail cleats.

A couple different ways to do it. I mounted mine by knocking the bed bolt out of the washers slide the d-ring on and then put the washer back on underneath the d-ring.

 

Well played ziggynagy... This is the thread I followed, and it was a piece of cake! Very handy to have the extra rings.

 

Awesome thanks!

 

That's where they are meant to be installed, the directions that come with the d rings tell you the exact measurements to take in order to install them in the sides. I just did this instead of using the bed bolt mod, pretty easy to do but much easier with a helper.
