I thought all 2nd gen dak's had them in the floor.....unless it's of the dozen things changed between 99 and 00/01....no b/c dakaz is in the floor on his 98...as are mine in 01....but yours are on the side?

or maybe quads have them up high and single/ext cabs have them in floor?

That's what I'm going with. Can't say i know of any reasonable explanation as to why, though.

Mine is an 04 Quad cab. They are all on the side with front ones up high and back ones down low.

I'm going out of town for a few days. When I get back, I'll be removing my liner and checking the floor. Since I've never had it off, there may be some in the floor.

Maybe they're up to the installer of the hour. "Put the tie downs where you want, make it up as you go, just get them in there!"

My 97 has front ones in the floor and rear ones mounted on the side as in the pics someone posted.

The fronts are integrated into the floor drains, which drain towards the sides of the bed underneath. When you pull your liner, you need to check the drains for debris. They are easily cleaned out. Mine were packed with mulch, and there was also a fair amount of mulch under the liner.

I used a Dremel tool to enlarge the rear holes in the liner, and I put a nickel plated steel ring (1 1/2 inch) around each of the rear tie down points so they wouldn't be so hard to connect to. On the fronts, I made a loop out of plastic coated steel cable and ran it beneath the tie down posts. The loop of cable can be stuffed down into the drain if not needed and since it naturally wants to uncoil itself, it won't rattle down there. I connect the rear tie down rings with a bungee to keep them from rattling.
