| Post subject: | Securing stuff in the rear of a tintop |
Thought I would post up and ask everyone how they have managed to secure things in the rear of the tintop while 4wding? I can't really seam to find anywhere to attach some easy tie down points without drilling. Eventually I'll sort out some tie down points by drilling or whatever but at the moment just want something temporary that will stop the toolbox + esky moving around. Has anyone got pics of some easy tie down points in their tintop ? Any pics of some creative ways to secure things in the rear of the tintop ? |

Go to a wrecker and grab some of the restraint loops used to attach baby seats to. Bolt these in using the rear seatbelt bolts. They're a handy place to hook up a ratchet strap to hold down the esky, tie the dog too etc. |

Thanks for the feedback. If I own a early model 1L tintop with 2 passengers on the plate, would it still have rear seatbelt bolt holes? |

Orange that's bloody awesome. I'm copying that, might round the corners with the grinder though 
I'll have a poke around bunnings, perhaps there is a hinge that I could use that would lay down flat when not being used... |

yeh stockman thats what i was looking for at bunnings but they had ones where you had to cut into the body work and i didnt want to do that i just needed something that would do cause i was going to go away for a week the day after i got it so i was a little rushed haha but did the job i might look into on of them mounts that you found that would be much better as my sierra is properly carpeted in the back underlay and all haha and the brakets make the carpet stick up abit |

I know the recessed ones you're talking about. I would of thought bunnings would have them. Maybe specialty fastners or a roof rack supplier. http://roofrack.com.au/Products/ANDMORE ... fault.aspx |

Yeah looks alright but would prefer to be able to goto a store and pick them up before the weekend. Ebay delivery can take some time... |

FYI self serve wreckers are a gold mine for those style of tie down points. |
