Bed anchors

[trippnk]

Question for all.... What do ya'll use to anchor stuff down in the bed? I'd like to do something like what the new TItans have....

Someone here used the roof rack sliders from an XJ in their bed.

 

I used Uni-strut.

 

 

 

 

Usually I just use the holes in the Uni-strut as anchor points for tie-down straps, but I can also buy the accessories that go to the uni-strut such as the pipe brackets holding my CO2 tank and fire extinguisher in place.

I put angle iron along the sides and front of the bed. From there I weld whatever seems suitable as an anchor, usually loops. I'll post pictures when I get home, it's better explained by a pic.

you can also buy the titan and the new tunder rails there about 140 at the dealer with 4 cleats. I worked for a toyota dealer till last thursday :roll:

here's what I made sitting outside while the truck gets painted. I've since added loops in the rear corners and in the floor of the bed in the rear corners for my rear ladder rack/kayak rack to slide into.

X2222. Unistrut is great stuff. Back in the day we used it to built cable ladders, equipment frames, platforms, etc. in communication facilities in high earthquake areas. It comes in a variety of sizes and materials, even stainless and fiberglass now. And with all the accessories available, like spring nuts, tie rings, corner brackets, etc. you can do anything with it. Never occured to me to use it in the truck bed. But I will now. :cheers:
