Tie Downs?

I need to get a good pair of tie downs and I like the functionality of the ones that disappear when not in use. Anybody using these and do they fit our trucks. I thought I heard they dont. Show me what you got...

Here is a link to the ones I am thinking about

Re: Tie Downs?

I went to my local Home Depot and purchased tie downs from them. I think they were $9.95 per pair and it took 4 pairs for a total of $40.00. I think they look great too!! WES

Re: Tie Downs?

Thanks Classic Heartbeat! I like the idea of having them under the rails instead of on the rails of the bed. Very clean!

Re: Tie Downs?

I have some of those that you linked in my work truck, I use them all the time - they work really nice, and I've had 'em on my last three trucks.

Did a similar thing, but I drilled holes into the bed inside, then bolted u-bolt with fender washers to spread out the weight. Good for 250lbs each, all for under $20.
