More or less like the tile states.
I am currently deployed and one of our trucks is a '13 hilux with the external tie down rails on the bed (like most utes have). It got me wondering if anyone has attempted to acquire a set of these and retrofit them onto a Tacoma? It would be nice to have some external tie down points on the side of the truck, and these would be the perfect way to accomplish that. Thoughts? Places to pick up a set of these (tried ebay and didn't find anything)?
EDIT::::::: Upon further inspection, it appears as if the external tie downs on the outside of the hilux beds are tack welded on, and therefor integrated. That said, we also have a few world-marked Ford Rangers floating around that have a bolted on tie-down rail w/ hooks that seems like it would be easy enough to retrofit onto the side of any pickup bed...
