Sorry, no progress or photos tonight. Me and my much better half decided to go out to dinner.

Really???? Mine must have missed that memo!!!! LolGood call, Happy wife = Happy life.
Adding tie downs to my steppy is something I've thought about for years. Got some pics so I can see what you went with?
I'll have to keep that direction in mind. Easy to do with no extra holes. I really like it.Here you go!
I replaced the upper bed brace bolts with those M8-1.25 eye bolts, then installed the quick links so there would be something coming through the bed liner to tie to:

I hear you, I've been keeping my eye out for a steppy tonneau, the only ones I seem to find are the soft ones. Should have bought a fiberglass one 20 yrs ago when they still made them. I wanted a "inside, flush mount" one. Just never had the $$$. Maybe one day I'll get some aluminum, a spool gun and build one myself.Well My progress has been stalled a little. Originally I planned on using MOOG replacement stock front springs and cutting them to the ride height I needed (about a 2" drop). They are progressive style springs though and I decided (with some help from another thread), to return them and buy some 2" drop specific springs. I ordered a set of MaxTrac springs on Friday and I'm not sure when they will be here. I was going to get the McGaughy's springs, but the guy I was working with at Suspension Superstore, suggested I use the MaxTrac and price matched them.
Today I pulled the truck out of the garage and put all the Christmas stuff in the attic. Afterwards I half put the tonneau cover back on and measured up for the new front rail I'm making. Drilled and cut a 1 X 1 X 48 piece of aluminum square stock to fit and painted it black. Maybe tomorrow night I can put it on and wrap up the back of the truck with a fully installed tonneau cover. I really want to replace it eventually, but the selections are pretty scarce for the 6.5' stepside bed.
No pictures tonight... LOL
