Ute tie down question

**DrunkenMistake** · 12th February 2014, 23:29

Hey guys,

I have a twin cab L200 ute and I have been using it for all sorts but really looking forward to attending track days and that sort of thing,

It has really good tie downs around the lip of the tray but because its a twin cab it means the tail is down and I cant put anything else into the tray without it sliding out the back,

It has a tuff deck so my question is, has anyone ever added extra tie down points to a tray with a tuff deck, if so what is the way about doing it? I believe they are siliconed to the tray?
Otherwise has anyone else come up with a solution for this?

Cheers in advance.

I've got a Holden Commodore ute (single cab), two fantastic brackets behind the cab, and then useless loops around the tray. The liner doesn't go all the way to the top, and a metal capping rail sits on top, as one unit, inside, on top and outside the tray. Tie down points can be attached here. Biggest thing is that you need to get behind to secure the tie down point.

I really like the idea of Torpedo 7's Super track: http://www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/T...uper-track-set Few options available (rail of a longer length available), the points can be removed leaving only the track, but it's not secure like sunken rings or something like that. However, I did find out thanks to Kinger that aircraft seat rails are almost identical, so once you have some of the rings, they clipped into the track he supplied me, much cheaper option.

Unless you want to put points into the bottom of the tray (and watch out for water and rust etc) also consider a cargo barrier, this one from T7 doubles as a ramp (got one on special): http://www.torpedo7.co.nz/products/T...o-carrier-ramp

silicone??? No no fucking no.
Drill holes and put some layflat D rings in properly. Else, use tarps and wrap them back over your stuf you dont want sliding.
Ive packed the fuck out of my L2 (motorbikely) and never lost anything yet.
