Sold: Indiana WTB bed cargo hooks and bolts

[jboyce91]

My ranger came with no tie down hooks or bolts installed. I bought it used, don’t know if previous owner took them out or what. in any case I’m looking for the set of 4 hooks with 8 bolts. I’m located in Clinton, IN will pay via paypal.

In a perfect world, you'd have 6 tie downs.
That's how they came initially.

This was my solution, the OEM mounts were crazy expensive.

thanks. i am worried about loading with the eye bolts because they lose a lot of their strength when the load is at an angle. they are at their strongest when being pulled straight up.

the stuff i’ll be loading will require pretty extreme angles on those eye bolts. particularly motorcycles, where the straps come down from the handlebars.

what i’m hoping to find is a truck that is wrecked so i can get the original bolts and hooks and avoid paying 200 bucks for the set through the dealer.

Mine came with only 4. I got 2 more on Ebay. OEM at a much better price. I paid $43 so make an offer as they went up a bit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/166126465621

The OE tie downs are held to the bed side by the same M8 short bolts threaded same as the eye bolts posted. Either way, their attached to the weakest part of the bed, the sides.
To tie a motorcycle down the right way, I'd opt for installing some proper steel eyebolts with some thick washers and lock nuts through the floor, up front, to give straps a proper angle of attachment.

ive been considering an L track system for the bed for that purpose.
