Easy bolt replacement for hardtops

[tjnoffy]

Similar but the ones I show are fixed without movement and the ones you show can move.

I guess the ones in OP's post are "hinged" in a way. Maybe prone to flopping around and rattling? Anyway, I was just trying to confirm whether similar tie downs were actually available with these handles.

Um, who at Team Bronco never thought these should be standard?

There is going to be a large majority of people who never remove their top, and for whom the stock bolts will be less obtrusive for their suburban (or cage racked overlanding) tastes.

These things have great utility. But even for my case where the top comes off / goes on seasonally—swapped out for a soft top—they’re not as useful.

Was thinking the same, how often are you taking off the shell? That’s a PITA. Do it once and leave it off for a few months.

My lame assed review:

I ordered, got in 5 days to Ohio. Look nice.
Do they hold up? Last, fit etc e.t.c, i don't know. Just nice to have options. Glad i got on sale, dunno how id feel about paying full price. D plates are sturdy, nice finish. Packaged well

Thinking these bolts will rust, I'll probably use antiseize with them

How much are they for the set?

Quick feedback on the flat anchor set.

I got them and they are bigger than expected but unfortunately won't work for the intended use on the Bronco.

Here is pictures of them in place in the 3 different spots:

completely blocked:

partially blocked:

second bolt blocks from being flat and still is partially blocked:

I did find a home for 2 of these up by the rear speakers though. I will probably keep these on there until the Sinister hooks are back instock and order some of those. I will probably look around a little more on the Bronco to see if I can find a new home for these.

Got the T-bolts (and the D tie down plates) installed. I mainly wanted the T bolts as a tie down location for a couple of things, just to hold some gear bags that I usually keep in the vehicle (some tools, jumper cables, etc)

While I agree with one of the previous posters that the D plates are a bit blocked, one of my eventual plans is to make a cargo net/tonneau in there to cover the cargo area, and I think that the D plates will be helpful at that point to attach webbing.

Closeer view:

The passenger side:

Both bags are from Duluth Trading Company, but I am not sure that either is still available.

Does it not rain where you live?

No, what’s rain?
