I put d'rings in the bed floor with big washers underneath.

?

The truck box side is plenty strong, it's the anchor points on the deck itself that need help...

Are you talking about the anchor point for the ski tie down...Do you use Super Clamps? Is this a steel frame, wood covered deck? Eric

Let's go back to square 1. What brand are we talking about?

 

[WingNutRacing]

sorry

Truck is good, use superclamps for sleds, that's all good, deck is aluminum...


Now,,,,, it's a "Custom Deck". There never was any actual place on the deck itself to attach to the Truck, such as hooks, or rings or anything, via turnbuckles or whatever. I have used turnbuckles with my own little system. But, I need ideas, for something better..

I've got my Marathon bolted right through the deck. I used 3/4" ply under the feet and the supplied threaded backing plates on the bottom of the bed, as they instructed. No turnbuckles for me.

I have a Marlon deck and am only using turnbuckles. It came with the plates, but I didn't want to drill holes in my bed. Never had a problem. Has anyone had issues by doing it this way?

yeah

I think the turnbuckles work great, but need a better spot to hook them to my deck.

My deck is only a single and sits in the bed but I just had welding shop weld some anchor points for me.

Used factory truck box anchor points with turnbuckles for years with no grief on a double deck. Why complicate things?

 

[WingNutRacing]

yep

Yeah, as I said, the truck and turnbuckles are all good, it's where everything hooks to the deck itself that's the problem..

U could drill a hole in a thick part of the frame and attach an eyebolt.

I use ratchet straps(rated for 1,000 lb WLL) instead of turnbuckles, they stay tighter and allow some flexibility.
