More Tie Downs

[Rivianero]

FWIW, I installed these tie downs in my bed in locations where the bed liner bolts to the body.

4

$8 for 6 of them on Amazon. Supposedly stainless, but time will tell.

Just pry off the round plastic covers over the bolts, remove the bolt and round steel disc, then reinstall the bolt with the D-ring hinge pointing up, so that it folds flat while not in use.

These obviously won't be as strong as the 4 built-in tie downs, but are convenient nonetheless, especially for organizing gear, using a net, or strapping down a tarp.

Can you hear any rattling in the bed while you drive?

 

[Rivianero]

That was a concern, but I don't hear a thing.

I have extra rings on the tracks that my roll-up cover is mounted on, but I'd rather have them farther down the bed wall like these. Just put them in my cart, thanks. Can't have enough tie-down points.

Seems like a great idea. I clicked on the link and got what appears to be the same thing but not stainless. Did you select some option that got you to stainless, or have they changed the product?

I love Amazon product descriptions.

“Coating protection” (what is the coating?)

”Good for rainy OR wet weather” (rain isn’t wet?)

?

How are these hooks holding up?

Well, our R1T was t-boned in December.

i did notice the tiniest bit of rust on one of the tie downs. It cleaned up easily with brightwork polish and wax that i use on our boat. The black surface had not chipped off, either.

I'm under no illusions that these are premium quality. They are, however, inexpensive and easy to replace.

I purchased a new set for our replacement R1T but have not yet installed them.

I’m sorry to hear about your accident. Thank you for the update.
