The aforementioned eye bolt.I've got the factory tie downs but I've unused threaded holes in my box, I'm considering a couple of these. Cast iron........
Yeah for sure. If I ever have anything I really need the extra tie downs for I’ll probably buy some but for now just an extra spot for bungee cords rather than anything heavy duty
I got a ratcheting cargo bar that you can put anywhere across the bed. Mine is just in far enough that I can use bungees to hold my tub of running/biking gear within reach. I can also throw stuff in there like propane tanks or gas cans and secure them to the cargo bar.
Yes. I used the same D Rings. You'd have to clean out the bolt holes since they were sprayed over, if the tiedown wasn't there already.
I like the idea, while on Amazon I found these that look a little more sturdy:Hello guys,
I don’t know if you guys have already figured out a solution to the missing tie down points (seems like they started shipping out with 4 a while ago which was already covered in a thread) but I just jerryrigged some bogus ones for the cheap since Ford charges an arm and a leg:
1. 4x - M8 1.25 screws, 25MM length ($4)
2. 4x - M8 Washers ($2)
3. 4x - Tie down V rings, 4 pack ($10) (Found on Amazon from LE KAPMOZ vendor)
Very easy to just throw in with a socket wrench.
I certainly wouldn’t trust these to hold down anything heavy duty but definitely helpful for added stability with a cam strap, or something lightweight.
I thought this was super easy, took 20 mins or less for less than $20. Hope this helps someone else out there with the same problem.

Adding these today, thanks for sharing this idea! ?Hello guys,

Agreed! Was hauling lumber last weekend and was thinking the same.
Bought mine forever ago. Worth the $ IMHO. And I do use them fairly regularly. As was mentioned earlier though, would be nice to have a couple in the floor.
That is one advantage I have in my frontier. Well technically it's an advantage I used to have now that I have the deck drawer system. One thing I like that Nissan added on the Pro 4X and a few other sub models for the Frontier and the Titan was the utilitrac system. Giving you rails on the floor, bed sides and the front of the bed allowing you to move tie-down points wherever you need them depending on what you're needing to do. Thanks to my drawer system I can't use the ones on the floor anymore
Yep! I think Nissan has the best securement system of all trucks. My ‘06 NISMO, while the truck was a complete POS (but I loved it anyway!), the cargo system rocked. Surprised Ford doesn’t just copy it.
Because this is forward we're talking about. It's clearly way too hard to do with that way so we must do it a different way to prove that we can do it a better way
No doubt!
