New D Rings Available

Sub'd

 

Just put my D-rings in today! Cheap, easy, and practical mod. Thanks OP!

 

Just what my short box needed. Thanks for the mod and write up!

 

TicTacOma, when you were working on the bed rail, is there a nut behind there I need to be concerned with falling out; or is the back end where the bolt is screwed down attached to the truck in some manner? I just ordered more D rings for the bed rails. I did six in the bed and love this mod.

 

i must do!

 

There is a "nut plate" or something similar behind the bed wall. I was waiting for the "drop" but nothing, so have at it. I used blue thread lock when putting the Torx fasteners back in. Remember now....I'm using those D-rings as a quick hook instead of having to drag out the factory tie-downs for the rails. I'm not sure of the what that single Torx fastener can handle so use your OWN discretion.

 

It would not be used for "real" tie downs. Just keeping things from flying around. The ones on the bed are for load holding.

Thanks again man.

 

Hmmm nice

 

just got finished putting these in.
MUCH nicer than my old ones that trapped dirt and crap under them.

old ones....

sweet...i need to pick me up some of those. Thanks for sharing.

Like I post that My D-ring came today.

Here a easy way to Install the D-ring on a Tacoma 2005- 2010 bed track

You can get this from any Homedepot or some Lowe's and Eletice suppy place.



I cut the spring shoter





use spring to get in or out track.










The D-ring work great.
One thing I need buy washer to on top D-ring, to make easy to tied the bolts.

No torque wrench to buy.

 

I like that hook you have in the bed rail next to the cab.

 

Great Deal, I just ordered some of deez and some of doze.... Thanks to OP.

 

OEM Hook you can buy

 

Pics! I just ordered 4.

 

I got a set but haven't installed them yet. I thought I'd be GTG if I just picked up a torque wrench, but locally $75 is the cheapest I could find. Looks like it is going to be a bit before I install mine.

 

You can barrow or rent from autozone I think.
