These are real tie downs toyota

Sorry but I have to laugh at all the responses that say they look weak. Granted the bed material isn't that robust, but the tie downs are. They're designed for aircraft use, and probably built to military standard. I've used similar tie downs and they're usually rated for 2000-4000lb working load.

 

I just wanna know what they are anchored into , that would be the determining factor on their capacity

 

Yea... I kinda like my "bullshit bed rails." They're pretty convenient.

 

omg your such drama queens

 

This!

 

Agreed. My girlfriend said she wanted to get in on this thread too and add her $0.02

 

They look pretty

So the same shear strength of a 7/8" bolt?

 

nice!

 

I guess I mean , what size is the plate that is backing them

I agree the look tough

 

Do you plan on lifting it with a helicopter? If not, I dont see a point. Stock tie downs work for my ATV, and you cant fit much more than that in the bed.

 

The backing plates are .125 7075 t6 3"x3". More than enough to surface area to disperse the weight load.

 

thought those looked familiar....yeah, you can not really break those.

those are the same (or similar) rings used on the 8 corners of my
6 helicop huts and 6 coolers when I operated an AN/UYK-7 for 12thAF
(old skool computer with core memory that can be repaired with
bubble gum wrappers when shot up to hell)

each hut weighed 15,000 lbs and could be picked up by a CH54 or
a super stallion 53, or wheeled into a Galaxy and strapped down

Oh man I miss that gig...

 

WTF are you carrying in your bed to require something so beefy?

 

To quote the MythBusters...

"If it's worth doing, it's worth overdoing".

 

Whatever I want lol.
Just tired of looking at the bed rails flexing when I'm loaded with dirtbikes.

 

hmm, I've never had any trouble with factory rings. Has anyone?

 

I think people are talking about the factory bed rings and the factory bed rail tie downs like they are the same thing

 

Do they rattle and clank everytime you hit a bump?

 

People need to remember what while the bike weighs 440lbs, the forces acting upon the bike in transport will increase that. 440lbs at one G, versus 660lbs at a 1.5G turn. Not saying I recommend a 1.5 G turn with bikes in the back, but you've seen the retards who drive out there.
