Tie downs

[DeeLL]

Should
I buy the factory tie downs or would others from 4x4 shops do the same thing at less cost to me. Thank you

You can get similar from Bunnings for $30. Lion makes them. Or run some stainless wire or chain through the existing tie downs for $15.
Don't see much point in paying mitsi prices for them, they don't mount any differently to the others

Thank you. I did see the ones at Bunnings when I bought my tie down straps. Do you think I could mount them in the same position in the tray as the genuine ones.

I'm confused. Do you mean the Mitsy ones that clamp onto the bed rails?

Or do you not have the factory welded in tie downs in the corner? I remember there used to be an issue where dealers were fitting tub liners over the factory tie downs without doing the cut outs to give access to them. That left people thinking they had none at all.

In the back corners there are a couple of heavy screws down through the tray. You can replace those with eye bolts for additional tie points down low. Up high a strip of anchor track can be pretty handy as it gives you a bit of freedom to choose the best tie down point.

I have a Mn Triton with a tub liner and have not seen points in the back of the tub ... Might pop the liner up and see if there are points there

2 in the front corners
2 in the rear corners
2 in the middle

They're behind the liner.. which is a pain in the ass to remove.

Drill baby drill...

It's not that hard to get out, unless there's a ton of double sided tape underneath. Easier if you don't have a canopy.

Don't see why not, with nutserts you could put them anywhere. The Mq tray doesn't have existing holes for the tie downs so I'm guessing the instructions would involve drilling.

Thanks guys.
