  • What is the Best Stake Pocket Tie Down Anchor?

This tie down anchor will go through your stake pocket and will be secured by a pin that goes through the bottom.

  • Is Stainless Steel Tie Down D-Anchor Needed for Install in Aluminum Bed
  • Hey Mark, so we don't have a stainless steel version of the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor part # RR05 but it sounds like you are worried about dissimilar metal causing corrosion so what you could do is use this but put some gardening plastic between the mounting plate and the aluminum and you'd be fine. That's what we do here when we install steel gooseneck hitches in aluminum truck bed.

  • Working Load Limit of Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate on 3/4" Plywood Floor
  • The WLL of the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor w Backing Plate # RR5K is always going to be 1,600 lbs. The only thing Brophy and other companies measure is what their anchor is capable of on its own. There are too many factors to determine what all of the possible kinds of wood or other surfaces this could be installed on can handle.

  • Will The Brophy D-Ring DR01 Work With Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles?
  • Yes, the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchors # DR01 will work with the Torklift FastGun Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK. Generally, these kinds of D-Rings are not used as a tie down point for a camper, but if they are properly secured using the Backing Plate # BP1D, I see no reason why these could not be used for this purpose. I am not sure exactly what kind of camper you are securing but having four 2,000 lb capacity D-rings should be more than enough for most any truck camper.

  • Will The Camper Tie-Downs From A 2013 Ford F-350 Fit A 2023 Ford F-350
  • No, due to changes over the years a 2023 Ford F-350 with an 8' bed and running boards that end at the cab or no running boards would require the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TL87CR and Rear # TLF3008. If you want the aluminum versions then you'd need part # TL36CR and # TLF3008A. If you're in need of new turnbuckles then I recommend the TorkLift AnchorGuard Derringer Turnbuckles for Truck Camper Tie-Downs # TLS9020.

  • Can Happy Jack Turnbuckles Fit TorkLift Tie-Downs On a 2023 Ram 2500?
  • Because you are using the TorkLift Front # TLD2140 and Rear # TLD3113 frame mounted Tie-Downs you are going to want to use their Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK. This is due to the length of them as the Happy Jack # LC182898 have shorter turnbuckles due to them using a bed mounted front anchor. The TorkLift Turnbuckles # TLS9529-2-LK come with locks as well to protect your investment.

  • Tie Downs for 1994 Ford F-350 Dually
  • Hello! I recommend using the HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs # LC182910-182971 for your application because the anchors install in the front of your bed and at your bumper so you don't have to mess with anything under your truck. We don't ship to France but you might be able to find an in-between company who can ship it internationally for you. Please note this kit has only been confirmed to fit the US model of this truck. If your truck is a European model then I don't have a way to confirm...

  • What is the Difference Between the TorkLift Camper Tie Downs and the TorkLift Talon Tie Downs
  • The biggest difference between the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs # TL84FR, # TL44FR & the TorkLift Talon Camper Tie-Downs # TL73QR & # TL44XR is that the Talon's are made of Aluminum which is going to be approximately 30-50% lighter than the traditional steel tie downs. Other than that, they are the exact same and will do the same job. The other caveat is the aluminum Talon tie downs are also going to quite a bit more expensive. With either choice you are also going to need a set of turnbuckles...

  • How Many Additional Straps Are Required to Carry 3 Kayaks With Yakima BigStack
  • You will want a bow/stern tie-down for each kayak so the Yakima Bow/Stern Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # Y04031 will cover the other two kayaks. You may also want the # Y07416 to go with them. I reached out to Yakima about the additional cinch straps and they said it all depends on the size of the kayaks. They said if they're too wide additional straps # Y05006 are necessary and said it would be best to get the straps just in case since you will regularly carry three. They...

  • Are There Camper Tie Downs For A 2024 Nissan Titan XD?
  • Hello Jerry, I am sorry to say that we do not offer any custom fitted camper tie downs for a 2024 Nissan Titan XD. We carry both the Torklift and Happijack brand tie downs and neither of these manufacturers make anything for this vehicle. It may be possible to use some universal no-drill bed-mounted tie downs like the Brophy # HSSF, but we have not tested for fitment so we cannot confirm that they will work. I have linked the review video and installation instructions below if you want...

  • Are TorkLift Tie-Downs For 2014 Ford F-350 Specific to Truck
  • Hey Kenneth, thanks for the question and the answer is yes, TorkLift tie-downs are specific not only to the year make and model, such as the 2014 Ford F-350, but also specific to the length of your bed, if you have running boards, and the hitch you have. For example, on a 2014 Ford F-350 with a 6-3/4' bed, no running boards under the bed, and a factory hitch you would use the TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Front # TLF2012 and Rear # TLF3006. Or for a '14 F-350 with an 8' bed, no running...

  • What is the Weight Capacity of the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs LC182910-182971?
  • That's a great question Mike and I have an interesting answer. There actually isn't any specific weight capacity for the HappiJac Truck-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs item # LC182910-182971. These are designed to handle the weight of any truck bed camper, and that's true of any camper tie-down, which is why there isn't a designated weight rating. If a camper can fit inside the bed of your F-350, the HappiJac tie-downs will safely hold it in place. The only other thing you will need with these...
