    Which location were you planning to use for the front?

    I'm undecided. I think the one running parallel with the slats on the bed would be most functional but it looks like isn't.

    What do you think?

    I think closer to the edge would look best, I think it looks out of place more towards the center and not lined up with the rears.

    I agree with you, but closer to which edge? The front of the bed or on the bulkhead? I can't get any closer to the outside of the bed because I can't access the underside of it.

    They would pull right through the bed. These tie-downs have a metal bar that sandwiches the bed.

    I was gonna sleep, then I saw one friend share this with another friend on Facebook. Now I have class in 6 hours and need to sleep, but am absolutely blown away. Killer work man. I would love a project like this in my future. Check out my build if you have any interest in MK4s.

    Spectacular work sir!

    Shameless plug. MkIV Kid Extraordinaire.

    Zach is right, this thread is killer. I am the friend that had this posted to their wall. This thread is going to be so helpful for finishing up my ABA Truck build. So close!
