You all may recall my inquiry about a week or so ago about the rope hooks that bolt to the bed in four places. I received them today and installed them. Thanks to the person who suggested cleaning out the threaded holes in the bed. I did that with an 8mm x 1.25 tap as the holes were contaminated very severely with the spray in bed liner material put on by Nissan at the factory. Doing that made it very easy to install the bolts. I used some blue Loctite on the bolts as I want to make it as difficult as possible for potential thieves if I have a cable through one of these locked to a container. I don't want it too easy to unbolt. They make a nice complement to the Utilitrack system as they give an anchor point that is there all the time.
Price at Courtesy Nissan was about $8 each with the bolts included. Took about 5 business days to get them as they were shipped by UPS ground from Texas.
