Robbery

[808matt]

I’m confused. So many people say they will only buy American, even if they cost way more...

The price of these on Ebay are $94.95. What in the hell is wrong with these retailers/people? Ammo, guns, parts, food, clothes...they are robbing us and this COVID excuse is a scam as far as I am concerned. $94 bucks for this? Totally outrageous...Covid my ass

I am also tired of companies using COVID as an excuse to be lazy (phone wait time & appointment time) and inflate prices. I'd go without those before I paid that price for two small brackets.

I'm going to try these tie downs. I will report back in a few days if they fit or not.

Hey look what I spotted in the back of the Maverick:

Just watch, instead of ripping off your catalytic converter they will start stealing your bed tie downs soon!

What's so confusing? Support AMERICAN workers or Communist China? I just bought a bottle jack and while I paid 6x's the amount of a cheap Chinese one I helped support someone here in my country. Plus I trust this one much more with my $40K truck but if you trust a $35.00 one on yours by all means go for it. Sure there are times where it's not possible to but when there are I will always chose buying American first!

I prefer Canadian-made but that's just me

As was previously mentioned, they are too small for the factory bolt holes, but they can be mounted to the builtright bedside racks, if you have them.

That's unfortunate but thx for reporting back and confirming.

Someone posted these a while back and said the dealer put it in as a warranty claim. I spoke to my service advisor when I took my work truck in and he said to bring my ranger in and they'll get it taken care of.

$29.64 EACH on this Ford parts site. Cheapest I have seen is $27.64 each hook, not including the screws. Same thing as initially stated, these people are crazy and smoking something. I going to go to Home Depot and buy some kitchen cabinet handles.

Exactly why I don't do ebay, craigslist or facebook.

They are still around $28 each on Ford Parts sites, and who knows what the screws would cost. Probably can get 2 sets for around $75, still insane.

You can get screws from Lowe's for a buck and change each. I previously linked them. I'll dig it up and edit this post with a link. They are automotive rated bolts designed for this type of usage.

Update: Here is my post. I linked the Lowe's bolts there.
