Who all does custom decals? i've searched the forums and found a few but they dont seem to be doing them. My other option is Moody Blues but i heard getting stuff from him has been a problem for awhile now.

Looking at getting some custom 4x4 offroad decals done.

moody blues did mine and they are great but any graphics shop should be able to do it.

I went to home depot and bought 3 feet of 3/8" white nylon rope, a pair of 3/8 inch rope clamps, a quick link, and then I used the snap bolt thing from an old torn dog leash.

Using that I made a mini strap/leash to strap to the center child restraint.

Note: I made a nine inch loop on one end just so I could use the strap as a mini leash in a pinch. The actual length of the entire thing from end to end is 21" is perfect. Dog can't jump to the front, or scratch my trim along the back windows. If you want your dog to have more motion forward in a SuperCrew then you could go 24" inches but then they can access the back window trim.

Anyway it's pretty straight forward, clamp the rope around the snap, and then make a loop at any size you want, attach to the restraint in the truck via quick link.

Works great. I am going to wrap the clamps in tape I think.
You might want to get try some heat shrink tubing .... a little more cost but a cleaner looking job and won't unravel!
Also, could possibly try some flexible tubing if you could find the right size for a tight fit.

Email diyvinyldecals5150@gmail.com and tell him Andrew from the F150 Forum sent you. He did custom overlays, bed side and interior decals for me. Great service and very quick. I am in Canada and this fellow is in Ontario, but shipping to the US would also be fairly quick. Check him out.

Installed a pair of these the other day. Fold down rear seats without having to drill holes are stuff. Installing both took 10min max. Looks totally stock.

Agreed. I already have this done and was thinking about them for that price based on hoping it was a pair. At that price I'll keep my setup.

They still look nice though. I'd like to see how they attach on the pin side. Also don't like how high the straps are, seems a little long but I guess you can just fold them behind. I do think they are nice but a little too pricey for me. I'd be willing to pay maybe ~$45 shipped.

From what I saw of the pics, it looks like there is just a plate or piece of metal on the pin side. I believe you remove the latch, put this behind it, attach the red thing to the pin and reattach the latches.
The red thingie is between the latch and the bracket, on the pin.

If that makes sense.
