  • Slide In Camper Tie Down Options for 2002 Chevy 2500 HD Pickup Truck
  • The manufacturers supplied data for the Draw-Tite # 41544 hitch does not show any information regarding its use with a camper tie down system. Some tie downs for slide-in campers attach directly to a specialized truck hitch, but not in this case. Other tie downs attach to the truck frame, to the trucks factory installed hitch, or stake pockets. For your 2005 Chevy 2500 HD with aftermarket hitch, Extended Cab, and 8' bed you can use the Brophy # TDSF Stake Pocket Camper Tie Downs. Kit...

  • Installing D-Ring Surface Mount Tie-Down Anchors on a Aluminum Snowmobile Trailer
  • The Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor - Bolt-On - 3-1/2" Wide - Surface Mount - 1,600 lbs # SR15-C are steel anchors with a zinc finish. Although the zinc finish will help avoid galvanic corrosion from dissimilar metals, the connection by drilling into the aluminum frame is not the best option. It is true the frame will typically be a stronger connection point than the wood deck, but in this case the wood is a better option when secured close to the frame yet not touching it. A good option...

  • Can Curt D-Ring Tie Down Anchor Be Welded to Aluminum Trailer
  • I have a solution for you, but it is not easy to weld steel to aluminum. The Curt D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # J-705 is made of raw steel. It will not work well to weld on to your aluminum trailer because of the differences in the melting points of these metals. All of our weld-on D-rings are made of steel. A skilled professional welder may be able to weld the # J-705 to your aluminum trailer. Your best option will be to use a bolt-on D-ring, like the Brophy D-ring Tie Down Anchor # LRB1....

  • How Do The D-Ring Tie-Down Anchors for C-Channels on Lets Go Aero Trailers Install?
  • I'm not 100% sure what you're referring to when you say "aero rails" but I think you're referring to the aero style roof rack bars like the Rhino Rack # RRVA150B-2 that have a channel mounting slot- in which case you would be correct. The D-Ring Tie Down Anchors # MMP543 are designed to mounted in any type of bar that has a "C" type channel. These specific rings were designed to fit snugly in the channels of Lets Go Aero utility trailers- they will fit in other applications that use rails...

  • Can Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor Be Mounted to Trailer Frame
  • You can drill into the frame to mount the Brophy D-Ring Tie Down Anchor # LRB1 to the floor of your trailer. If it is a steel frame I wouldn't worry about it, if it is an aluminum frame I would try to avoid it. However, I recommend using a steel backing plate to avoid drilling into the frame entirely. This will be more than enough to keep the tie down secure.

  • How to Attach Vehicle Anchor Straps on a 2011 Kia Soul to Secure a Canoe
  • The vehicle anchor straps can be mounted using some existing locations under the hood of your 2011 Kia Soul or you could use your own hardware.

  • What Hardware Is Needed To Secure the CargoSmart 1/4 Removable D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor
  • The CargoSmart 1/4" Removable D-Ring Tie-Down Anchor part # 3486555 that you referenced is a universal tie-down therefore there are several ways that it can be installed. If you are just using the d-rings to secure very light items then you could probably get away with just some self-tapping screws. However, if you need to secure heavier items then you would want to go the route of running a bolt though the floor and then securing the other side with a washer and nut.
