Finally fixing my Bedrug to the box. I've noticed at least eight tapped holes/threaded inserts. Two in each box side by the tail gate. Two more in each side near the wheel hump.

Vehicle mfgrs are fairly accommodating for their own, or aftermarket attachments and add-ons.

What attachments use these mounting holes?
Thanks,
Dave

I'm guessing that those may be for tie down brackets?

Range19ca is correct. Are they these?

I know that my Tonneau cover uses some of these near the cab.

The threaded holes appear the same as yours. Tie down loop is moved on yours.

I could try and guess, but what is the attachment.
Thanks.



Thanks.

The pictures show the holes for a tie down in the middle next to the wheel well and a bracket for where a swing case mounts and swings out.

When I purchased the swing cases, the threaded holes were already there so installation was a breeze.

Thanks,
Like you Bedrug floor cover. I have a bare box so I went for the full bed liner. Swing cases or a case may be in my future. ...simple to punch holes thru the Bedrug. ..what are the WxLxH dimensions on the swing case?

they're also for a bed extender. and I'm working with a bike rack company to make an adapter plate that uses these for their bike rack.

I'm interested in the ones at the cab end above the hooks. There are 2 on each side. Any one know what size these are for? Someone managed to move his tie down hook up to these but mentioned he had to widen them. Doesn't seem to match the hole width of the tie down.
