Well I was going to order the 14 lower grill insert: (HERE)

But after reading of all the broken tab purchases, I decided to just build meh own. I might have $10 invested in it.

The extruded I had in the shop, POR15 is always around, rust converter was on the shelf too. So 2 pieces of 1/2" x 1/8" steel was the only cash outta pocket.

few pics:

I added a pair of tie downs to my tailgate. I'm pretty sure I got them out of a 03-07 Ford Explorer a few years ago. I drilled 2 3/8" holes in the tailgate and mounted them near the tailgate panel opening so I could install body washers and a nylock nut inside the tailgate. The clearance is tight on both sides but worse on the drivers side. I was able to feed the nut and washer through the left hole and the wrench through the right hole to tighten it up
Driver side


Passenger side was easier as the bolt is just behind the opening.


The hooks store flat but rotate 180°






Anybody that has a 5.5' box knows how often you want to haul something longer and need a way tie it down.
