  • I like repurposing items I have just laying around to make new and exciting things. Now I know and acknowledge that this is not scale. However I think this will work and I think it will look ok as well. I hope! It’s not like it can’t be changed down the road if I don’t like it. I don’t have a 3D printer so making things that way is out of my wheel house for right now but maybe sometime in the future. I’m excited to find out if they will work. If they work good then looks take a backseat to operational functionality!

    Great job!!! Straps on passenger side are legit. Driver doesn't want to be on the side of the truck that has traffic if the load has to be rechecked!

    rap the pin around the cleaver clever what ever u called it. so one end is attached to the opposite side too locking in. . then dont have to worry about making an losing pins all the time.

      Let me know what you think of my pins next Friday. I will have a video testing the tie downs. I like the length of them to give me leverage.

      True that. The only guys I know around me are just into bashing or high speed cars. Not my jam. I love the trucks and rc construction. Thanks for the feedback too. I appreciate it.

      No I do not have a template for them. They were kind of a “one off” since it was using material I had laying around. But they are working fantastic and I can put a lot of tension on the tie down with this setup.
