Default Truck bed anchor system

Anyone install AnchorTrax or similar anchoring system in their truck's bed? If you installed these where is a good mounting location?

Thanks,
Rob

Friend of mine runs them in his Comanche trail rig. He's got them down both bed sides (in 3 pieces) and a run down the center of the bed.

I installed 5 - 12" trax on the floor of my bed...with the Jegs style rings to tie down portable generators and other gear less than 50lbs each.

The AnchorTrax parts? Where did you fasten them in the bed? Did you just screw them through the sheetmetal or did you find a solid part to screw them into?

Thanks,
Rob

My friend used nutcerts to secure most of them. Used actual nuts in places where he could get behind.

I'm also interested in tie downs. Anyone have any other solutions than the ones suggested so far? Oh yeah, I have factory bedliner. Pictures would be great!

Thanks,

Just bringing this back up in case anyone has any pictures or info on where they installed them in the bed (short box hopefully).

Thanks,
Rob

I'd also be interested in some pics of the mounting spots. Just how much support can the bed rails or walls supply?
