I know this should be fairly basic, but bear with me.

I was wondering where the factory tie-downs are in the bed of the 3rd gens. I have a bedliner in the way and it's an over the rail style, not to mention a PITA to get out.

If you guys could gimme a hand, preferably with pics, I would be much obliged! :icon_cheers:

don't count on them being there... I don't think those were added until the late 90's

I tie stuff down with the inner lip of the bed, for most purposes that's plenty sufficient
