Bed bolt tie down install

[ZaneMasterX]

Got the idea from user @Bark beetle to install additional tie down points using the bed bolts in the truck.

These are mopar P/N 05170492AA. They do not rattle or bounce around; they have a detent in them so they are really hard to pull up and they stay where you put them.

I had to grind them down a tad to get the bed bolt to sit flush with them (see pictures).

Used a ratchet strap to keep them from rotating while I torqued them down. I couldnt really find the tq specs for the bed bolts other than a random website that said 56ft-lbs so thats what I used.

Azholley, the way fca comes out with products, I could see a form of that truck in the future. That would only make ford improve the raptor even more in the future. So, in some ways if fca comes out with that truck, it would only help us.
