Default Stake pockets?

Stake Pockets. I don't have them on my dak. Where they an option, or do daks not come with them period?

I was wondering what I can get to use a tie down anchor. What do you guys use? I don't like the fact that I have only one place to anchor too, and it's at the end of the bed.

Do you have a tie down hook under a rubber cover at the front of the box on the floor, about 3 or 4 inches from the side?

Is that what that is? I can't get the cover off of it without taking out my bed liner. I noticed it yesterday, and I tried pulling it off like it says, but my bedliner got in the way of my fat fingers.

I agree 100%.

Has anybody ever made or mounted their own tie downs in the bed?

yea, my line-X went around the in-bed anchors. But i've seen it done where a guy took the tie straps on the outside of the bed and latched them on the frame. Just had towels under the straps to save the paint.

I'd love too! You buying? I can't afford it right now. I hate drop in bedliners, but it came with the truck, so it stays until I can afford a Line-x, or end up doing it myself.

I'll look into the eye hooks, thanks for the idea.

You can see one of them, theres another in the opposite corner of the box. This is when I had it in my 3.9 and I put it in my 4.7 when I got that. Worked good for my motocross bike & my tv and fridge when I go to school in the fall.
