I never understood the need for sliding tie-downs when each bed side has 2 existing tie-downs and 4 bolt holes, the bed is only 4.5 feet long! I wanted to add a tie down to each bolt hole but I wanted something a little less obtrusive than the big eye rings. So I made some short loops from some parachute webbing to add to each bed side. Only cost me 8 bolts (8 x 1.25 x 3/4” long) and some washers. The holes in the webbing I made using a soldering iron to melt the material and prevent fraying and to keep the holes from opening up further after installation. Super simple, super cheap, and gives me plenty of tie-down options for if I ever need them.
