Tie downs
I need a recommendation for tie downs. One of the bedrail stake caps is missing and i can't buy one from the dealer. I have to buy the whole bed rail cap.Now i've decided to just buy 4 new tie downs. I really don't haul so don't need anything that strong. Looks like Penda and Putco are the major brands, unless someone can recommend other brands which may be better.Thanks.

Some random thoughts...
Just about every one of them is the same color, Black.
They are all the same size from 1997- 2003.
About 700,000 trucks built each year, that would be about 5 million total.
There are are four or six on each truck, about 30 million plugs total.
None of these trucks have been wrecked?
Or if they were wrecked, the bed rail stake pocket cap plugs were all damaged beyond re-use?
And you want to be my latex salesman?
I don't think so.

hey RMjeff, did you install the Bull Rings over the plastic bed rails, or did you remove them? I just wanted to know before I ordered them.
I'm looking at some right now, they want $33 a pair for the SS ones (I think I can find a little better price than that if I shop around some more), but I'd pay it for some nice tie downs. I've used these before, had a set in my ranger when I was younger, they really are nice.

i can see someone looking for a cap at the junkyard and only finding plugs "damaged beyond re-use?"
