Cheap and Easy Tie Down Solution

[djwinter]

XL owner. I have been looking at various after market and oem tie down solutions. Some d-rings and the pre-threaded holes in the bed worked great. Highly recommend it. I went with 4 on each side, maybe overkill. But $20 versus hundreds for a rail system.

I'm using those tie downs on my tailgate. The bottle openers don't play well with my cargo straps, and these types work much better.

What size and threads are the screws/bolts to fit the holes?

Nice solution.

You may already be aware, but a DIY strut channel rail system can be had for less than $100 using the same threaded holes.

I did the same on my my26 and it worked out well picked up on Amazon
Bolts are M8x1.25 had to use a M8 tap to clean out the holes from the sprayed in bed liner.
