Tie downs recommendation
Hey y’all. Just a random opinion question. Right now I have an 84 f150..and I need some anchors or tie down points so I figured I’d ask everyone’s opinion..which do you prefer the little anchors that mount in the bed holes, or bed rails? I was also contemplating just installing a set of d rings in the bed floor..but I’m not very keen on drilling holes into the bed..whatcha think?

Can it handle enough weight to tie down a motorcycle?

Stake pockets work really well. I put nuts and 2 large body washers on a 1/2" eyebolt, self locking nut on the inside of the pocket. They work really great for holding everrything down and haven't had anything fail or come loose.
I put 4 in the front but but 2 are on the headache rack. The 2 in the back are on the front to rear axis and are great for holding a load. With them near the top you can find them blind as long as you can get your hand in there. I've had 2 loaded Jobox with over 3000 lbs held in using 2 off the very front without an issue.

Same response from me, I've used that same hole to place eyebolts with large heavy washers in it. I've also taken a 1/2" rope, tied a bowline knot loop in one end, slipped the other through that hole and a big washer and tied a knot in the rope so it wouldn't slip through and used that as a tie point.
