tie down points

matto47 · Sep 16, 2011

Hi Guys,

Just a question for those of you who transport dogs in the back.. The lack of tie down points is a bit of a pain in the bum. How are you guys transporting your pooches? Have you modified the existing tie down points or have you welded a custom one on yourself?

cheers

I have a chain that runs between the 2 front tie down points in the tray. I welded a small turnbuckle in the middle of the chain to tweak up the tension. I clip my dog chains onto that. Its also handy to tie other bits and pieces to when travelling.

there are a few m6 nuts along the front edge of the tray, just get some m6 lifting eyebolts to thread into them, can also go in to replace the factory tie down hooks.

They're actually m8 bolts.

Thanks for the advice guys. The eye bolts sound like they may be the way to go.

Cheers!

I got a removable tie down point from the local 4wd shop, cut a small hole in the tub liner in the middle on the cab end. works really well and if you dont want it there just unclip and slde off and the track sits flush with the rest of my tub.

when i bought mine it had two d-shackles up on top of the front of the tub (have a look and you'll know which ones, theres 4 of them along the front) perfect for dogs, they had a long bolt through them and washers to take up the slack

You can get an ARB rail system. I'm pretty sure a couple of members with D22's have them.
Other members have dog cages in the tub.

I've got a canopy but have drilled, sanded, touched up with primer then added silicone where I've installed some eyelets for securing loads. Just double check where you drill so you don't drill through a line.
