If you are using them just for looks, fine. For cargo securement? No way. You've no idea as to load capacity. Probably just cheap Chinese knockoffs.

Has anyone tried these?
Found these guys on eBay and they’re MUCH cheaper than the Oem ones. Look similar, but there’s no telling once you get them.

But for around 15$ i just might try.

They don't look nearly as beefy and those bolts are Philips head? They don't look strong either, look like you'd twist them right off.

The stock tie downs feel solid (maybe even hardened?) and the bolts are of a heavy grade,.

The bolts of the Ranger are M6, I spent more than that at Home Depot for four of them, and then bought chain for a solution that somebody else posted here.

They’re not normal fasteners. They’re hardened ones so the don’t sheer off with load shift. Don’t cheap out on these!
