Then, center the strap on the tank. Then, form each end of the strap to wrap around the tank. Then take the bolts with the hook bent on the end and hook into the strap. The bolts are going to be at an angle, but don't worry about that. I used lock nuts so you don't have to worry about them backing off. When you see more pics of all this it will make more sense.
Edit: I just noticed that you said you did all that with the bed on. I thought it would be impossible to do that...lol but apparently not. Anyway, I'll post up some more pictures tomorrow.

I would have been easier with the bed off but I didn't feel like going through all of that and figured I'd try, we'll see how it goes when I put the strap on

Here's some more pics of the strap, I hope you can see it well enough.
