    I was making pac-man tennis balls today to protect pointy stuff in my garage, and came up with this mod:

    I've always needed an anchor point near the tailgate at the bottom of the bed! (for those of us who don't have or need bed stiffeners)

    :benchpress: :dancingbacon::broccoli: I can't believe I haven't thought of this before...so simple!



    Another pac-man ball to temporarily keep the loop from falling back down into the abyss:

    This isnt meant as a jab or to be a shitty know-it-all response at all. I love cheap diy mods and see how it cold be useful in very specific situations.
    But; Isn’t there a rotating d ring like a foot away that would do the same thing?

    As someone who put d rings on every bed bolt, I approve this message! I may have to use this idea!

    With the amount of dogs I see on this site, there's gotta be so many tennis balls laying around just waiting for their moment of glory :yay:
