Tie down idea(s)

[The Real Maverick]

I keep seeing this image in the ads on this site. It is a paint sprayer. But I keep thinking: Wouldn't something this shape make a great tie down for the sliding side rails in the Mav?

Anyone have the tools and know-how to make my dream happen? My truck came with two but I often could use four and I'd take six. Any other creative add ons to the stock rail system?

IMHO simple anchor points would work better. I don't have the sliding rails, so just bolted 8 of them to the rail mounting points. But the rails could hold many more.

I specifically asked about sliding rail attachments / anchors. I already have the sliding rail system but could use additional attachments.

I screwed ring bolts into mine. Quick, easy, cheap.

I should have added that you’ll need t-slot nuts that fit the rail for whatever anchor you choose. I’m not sure this is the exact one needed, but it’s the key to make the spray head work if you’re set on using that.

Thanks. I'd order those if they fit. Anyone know?

Anyone try these? Guess I need to go out and measure carefully.

I'm thinking of going the molle route myself. It's affordable, and there are many options depending on what you want to hold/contain/strap down. Just a thought.

Exactly the same thing I did. They work GREAT and are inexpensive.

I used these for my sliding rails. You have to modify them a bit to get them to fit but they look like they belong on the truck.

How did you modify them?

Unistrut clamps. Available in different thread sizes.

How did you modify them?

The edges where the red marks are, are just slightly too wide to fit into the rail gap. I just sanded them down and they were a perfect fit. Hope this helps.

Sorry. Wrong edges. You need to sand down the edges that will fit into the rails. I attached new photos
