Tie Down Loops.

[java]

im looking for a good tie down loop. ive seen one on this forum that looked like this _/---\_ (excuse the drawing) made from like 3/8" rod. i cant seem to find it anywhere now. anyone have an good ideas? i can use a piece of chain but i think it looks a bit ghetto IMO.

Attaching them to wood or steel?

Welded and bolted. Both work fine.

The eye bolts with nylocks are easy.

These are bent round stock, welded on

That's awesome thanks! If I can't find them locally ill definately take you up on that. 10$ in parts RV wholesale wanted 10$ to ship

there is an RV repair and supply place not too far from me, so ill probably try them tomorrow if i can get the time to swing by.

Chain-link ghetto? Maybe I suppose. Pic. is of my first trailer build, I chose chain cause it was readily available and fully functional.

Definitely functional but IMO doesn't look nearly as nice as the loops above.

Ebay is my favorite store:

search for D rings
Many come up bolt on and weld on.

Redneck trailer and etrailer both sell the one you are looking at.
