bed rail reinforcement

I know this has been discussed, but searching turned up nothing. What are people doing to reinforce the bed rails and create more tie off points. I haul stuff in the bed all the time and only 2 places to tie off is driving me crazy and I'm afraid if I really pull I'll bend the sheet metal.

There are many things that you can do. I have seen bars that go the length of the bed on top, a C shaped and other brackets that can be bolted to the corners below the top for rope and hook attaching.

They have to be strong enough to hold tarps and items from turning over but the bed floor will hold the weight.
