    Emanon, Thanks for the reply. Your really love your Tacoma - $20 for a oil drain plug. I'd be interested to know if you get some metal on it after your next oil change. Post the results if you think about it. Thanks again for your reply and the link.

    Finished up my D-Ring install this morning.

    Pic of Toyota part and stock bed bolt removed. This bolt was a pita. I hit it with PB Blaster las night and let it soak overnight. It was a lot easier to remove. Sprayed it with silicon before reinserting.

    DSC_0001-3_6b5c2b5122075822a56023447818ef982624ea0f.jpg

    A lot of posters recommend the Army surplus D-Rings for $5 over the stock set up for $34 and here is the reason why. The Toyota replacement will never work for the front D-Ring install as is. The bolt is too short.

    DSC_0003-3_ed1a9927c5f78d350fe6c3cebf2f979b4a9d0512.jpg

    I was able to use the Toyota mounting plate once I drilled out the welded on nut.

    You will need to grind down the washer on the removed bolt for a better fit. Vice grips are your friend here.

    I have an old fashoned buffer with a grinder wheel attached.

    The completed assembly ready to install.

    Don't forget to file off the rough and sharp edges.

    Instakked D-Ring in the bed of the Tacoma.

    DSC_0010-3_31ba03f78607e3ded1da2b95f024e908136b770d.jpg

    I opted to just cut a hole in the bedlined.

    A very easy project that will mage your Tacoma a little nicer to haul gear.
