Front Tie Down Anchors For Vehicles Without An Obvious Ring Or Hook To Connect Tie Downs
Question:
Do you remove the two knock out holes on the front bumper to attach straps to the rings foundbehind the knockouts?
asked by: Mary E
Expert Reply:
If you want to remove the knockouts on your fascia of your 2013 Lexus RX 450h, you can do that. I recommend knowing exactly what is there and how it will fit with your application before proceeding with removing the knockouts. Many customers will opt for a different tie down for the front like the Malone QuickLash T-Stlye Hood Loops for Bow/Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 # MPG308 or Rhino-Rack Anchor Strap - Qty 1 # RRRBAS.
This will allow you to use ratchet straps like # EM31352 or something for their specific application like the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops - 13' - Qty 2 # TH855XT for Kayaks.
