Hey,

I love doing the big mods...but really dig these little $20 mods that can makes huge differences.

Issue:

When my Bed is full I like to keep my Cooler in the back seat. Unfortunately, its slides back and forth everytime I make a turn.

Solution:

I bought these D-Ring style brackets. On the end caps of the rear seats is a large bolt. Undo bolt, insert bracket, re-tighten. Done.

When not in use, simply close the D-ring and you would never know its there.

When you need to strap something down..just lift it up.

Nice! When you crack open a beer it won't explode from sloshing around so much. Best place to get those D-Rings?

Great job! Looks like I need to add 2 more to my future order.

That's what I'm putting in my bed. Any chance you could grab a measurement of the id of the hole for the bolt? I want to make sure a bed bolt would fit.

The bracket hole is 5/8" Joe so the hole should be fine, but I think you may have an issue with the edge of the bracket. Look at my first pic. The distance from the hole to the edge of the bracket where it curves for the D-ring is pretty close. I think the washer on the bed bolt will not allow it to sit flush.
