I used some U bolts from ACE as tie downs.
Had to remove the tail lights and use a Universal, as well as a crows foot to get the nuts threaded down.
A little like building a ship in a bottle.
Cost 5 bucks, and took about two beers.
I don't normally drag up old threads, but there was a lot of good ideas on this one.

I'm impressed with your wrenching ingenuity..I may have to give up on the duck taping a wrench to paint stick......More than a few hrs making these, channel from scrap yard, enough for 4 tie downs and a spare tire mount.

Glad you did! This work of yours gave me an idea how to install more tie downs in my dad's "new-2-him" Canyon he bought last week. It needs six more tie downs.

I found these really cool stainless tie downs at;

They are removable and the receiver is close to flush when removed.
