Maybe something like this?Looking for something that will thread into the OEM available screw holes just above the included tie down handles
Hi there! My Raptor doesn't have factory tie-down handles. Any idea why? Was that an "upgrade?" The dealer says it is, but I don't think that's true...an XLT Ranger with no spray-in bedliner has them, after all, and I have a spray-in bedliner.I used stainless steel eyebolts, the ones in the bed and rail across the front of the bed are 8mm. There are 3 on each side way up almost under the bed rails. Those are 6mm but I would not use them to actually tie down much of a load. I plan on putting the eye bolts in and using them to “stabilize” things like gas cans or pool chlorine jugs.

Really surprised that they aren’t on a Raptor, I am guessing the threader inserts are there? Might be better off putting them in afterwards so you don’t have spray in the heads.Hi there!

Thank you for the help. I have a factory Bedliner in my raptor and no tie-down handles. Was this an oversight at the factory? It sounds like it might have been based on you having spray material on the screw heads.They were standard, at least on Raptors. Can’t speak to other models.
Did the dealer do any kind of a bedliner? Might have been removed for that.
I can tell you the bolts were brutal to remove due to lock tight on threads and spray in bedliner material in torx heads.
Good luck!
The inserts are there....no handles though. Can I buy a pair of these aftermarket?Really surprised that they aren’t on a Raptor, I am guessing the threader inserts are there? Might be better off putting them in afterwards so you don’t have spray in the heads.
