tie downs/Truxedo options

kevint12 · #1 (**permalink**) 04-15-2008, 08:34 PM

I have a Lopro installed on my 08. As some of you may know you lose the front tie downs in order to install the side rails. Has anyone run across an add-on tie down or done a mod that allows for the originals to be reinstalled with the Truxedo?

Thank you.

Any ideas?

Kevin..I saw a post that someone used longer bolts on the front and was able to keep the tie downs. I have the same cover but haven't had time to explore this yet.....Mike

Great idea....off to hardware store tomorrow and try it for the cost of a couple bolts

Let us all know how you make out.

Team,

I also lost the use of the upper tie downs when I installed the Extang Solid Fold.

Here is a link to my post [with pictures and parts list] of my mod to get the upper tie downs back. I was not able to use the original steel/iron hooks, but was able to get some sturdy hooks into place.

hope this helps,
