Counterfeit
sellers are alive and well on eBay! You WILL NOT GET TOYOTA-type BOLTs. YOU
WILL NOT GET CNC MACHINED HOLEs. YOU WILL NOT BE HAPPY. LOOK FOR Hollywood Controls and our HC logo. This listing is for a pair of Heavy-Duty (0.275" Dia ring) V-Ring Tie-Downs for your Tacoma. We make it a painless, no drilling installation! We supply black painted steel 2" V-Rings with 400 # Working/1200# breaking strength welded rings. These fit all Tacoma beds from 2005 & later!
We have added Anti-Rattle Bushings to the V-Rings so you hear less noise from your bed!
Your Taco came with 2 rear bed tie-downs and a weak rail system. You have NO WAY to tie cargo to the bed at the front or center. Buy one of our kits to do front or center. Buy two kits to do them both!
We don't like the Toyota D-Ring kit for mounting through the composite bed at the front sides. They are not at floor level, the backing plates are small and the composite bed can flex or crack under load. Tundra: Check your bed options, look at your bed bolts. Bed bolts MUST be part #64189-0C011. (Generic #64189A number is used for several bolt types.)
Installation: You need only one tool for this job. A T55 Torx bit is used to remove your old bolts and install the new ones. They should come out easily, but in corrosive environments, some WD40 may help. Be sure to assemble them correctly. Slide the V-Ring onto the bolt with the larger face up (non-dimpled), then slide on the washer. Insert and orientate as shown in the pictures and tighten firmly.
There is no clear torque spec, as you are clamping composite above a spacer tube.
Do not try to have the V-Ring swivel around the bolt as the factory ones do. These bolts keep your bed on the truck! Correctly installed, your new D-Rings will fold down neatly towards the center of the bed between the ribs. NOTE:
Because the 12mm bolt head, as originally installed, is flush with the
top of the bed ribs, your new D/V rings will be slightly proud of the
top of the bed ribs by 0.130-0.160 in. Please take this into
consideration. |
