- Charvonia Designs is at it again with another Modification / Upgrade from your 3rd Gen Toyota Tacoma - the Billet Tie Downs D Rings. These replace those seized cheap steel versions at the frock of the bed. They add not only superior functionality, but they look damn good doing it. This is a 5 minute mod and can be done with simple hand tools using the stock hardware.

These D-Rings look very nice and I plan to get them. Do you have a link to the rail and fixed bed tie downs? Thanks for the video!
Here's a link to the whole kit: bit.ly/CharvoniaKit. They do sell them separately as well though. Thanks for watching!
Thanks@@tacomanetwork
Too expensive does it have gold on it?
I checked out the link, $150!! Wow
I'd pay $50 but not $150
The price is up there, but you do get a quality piece made in USA
So it’s should be cheaper if made in good 🇺🇸
@@MinhNguyen-gd7bt you know that’s never been the case. Products from Asia skimp on material, labor, finish, etc to get the pricing down to beat American manufacturers. It’s 100% true
Yep I thought the price is a bit steep too. The most I'd pay is $75 and I would have to think about it for a couple of days. I would love to buy more USA made stuff but unfortunately I can't afford it.
Cant justify the price for these....
It is steep....maybe they will adjust the pricing?
Great review! Thanks Rich!!
Thanks for stopping by! These D Rings are great!
Why so expensive does have gold on it
No gold....just Aluminum and stainless steel
Thanks Rich,
I was looking for something else besides what came as standard equipment for my TRD Off Road
These things are great! Just used them last night to tie down a load
Not worth the price. Plus for people who use the bed of their truck to haul/slide stuff in and out of the bed, these look like a daily PITA of getting caught/hung up on cargo...looks like you'll have to lift any and all cargo bins over these to get them in the bed...something that was not an issue with the stock rings. I'm surprised the face was not recessed/angled more to alleviate this issue. If the stock rings are seized, was that not something that penetrating oil could've easily fixed? You also increased the strength of the pivot bolt, but just re-used the stock anchor bolt...Is the anchor bolt now the weak point and what is it's tensile/yield strength? If you're hauling serious weight in the bed and need an absolute anchor I could see it's use, but I don't think the cons outweigh the pros, at least for me.
The stock ones being seized is a common issue I've seen with other Tacoma owners. Great points you made. Thanks for stopping by!
You brought some great point. How unfortunate that they've gone unaddressed especially with the price they have
They are cool but wow! Overpriced
They're priced based on the work that went into them. One course there's other options though.
Def gonna get these in blue!
They're a great addition! I just used mine this weekend and they're so much better than the stockers
@@tacomanetwork just gotta get the Taco first haha
I guess you can also add these tot he front two bed bolts? I can't believe Toyota did not put D-rings up front as well. So many times I cant tie something down from the front. The sliding top side bed rail loops are pretty useless being up at the top.
Are there even bolts up front? They would need the same spacing, and the same washer stack to make these work.
We get killed in Canada with the exchange rate. These would run me about 260. For the set of two. So, it’s a big forget about it. I’ll remove the standard rings and just paint them orange to be close to my solar octane Toyota
Yeah, I can imagine. Good deal.
$150, I'd say the factory rings work just fine. Some of you have more dollars than sense.
Nice! Blue please!
We have blue too!
Thanks for stopping by, buddy!
Yeah there are but Ii think they are teh bed mount bolts (The larger ones) and not the smaller ones that hold the D-rings in the back. There should be a good mod for that.
I wouldn't mess with the large bed bolts. They hold the whole thing together
@@tacomanetwork word.
LOL, $150 for 2 of these...........................HELL NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
It's a steep price, that's no doubt. I work in a shop that does CNC and I handed these to the owner and he immediately said "These have to be at least $150". There's a ton of work that goes not only into the creation of CNC'd product, but the finishing, polishing, anodizing, etc. I'm sure there's $39 Chinese versions out there though and they do cater to a certain audience.
I've worked in a machine shop. Aluminum is one of quickest metals to machine behind copper/copper alloys but significantly faster than steel (3-4x slower than Al), and Al has a low tool cost (e.g. softer metals wear down tools slower). That part is a very simple design to make in CAD (low R&D) and should be fast to machine (no knurling, complex curves, threading, etc.). A basic robotic polisher can get those polished fast. Since it appears the producer of these isn't using his machines, but rather machines in a shop he's working in...the overhead is low. Even with anodizing, block aluminum cost, and labor I would guess they run sub-$35 each. $100 seems like a fair asking price but definitely not $150. If I still worked in a machine shop I would just do it myself. Not calling anyone a BSer...but I doubt any machine shop owner commented: "These have to be at least $150," it looks like standard work coming out any good shop (meaning, there is nothing special about the finishing on these). I understand the desire for American made goods but just go on Aliexpress and get the same exact thing for probably like $45 total unless $100+ is throw away money for you.
