    Bro...this is the easiest one I have seen and probably the most economical. No need to have anything more fancy as these points are more than enough when moving any items. There are 6 (4 added/2 standard) to choose from on each side...more than plenty to anchor for almost anything you need. The screw size is a M6-1.00. x 16mm. Add a washer and your in business. Although a Torx head might be better I would think? but may not be necessary.

    BTW I found some 12 pack D ring Tie down anchors on Amazon for $15 bucks with 1500lbs WLL and 3000lbs break strength - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HYH42GV?smid=A29D5JAUP1YACR&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp&th=1

    Exactly what I was talking about in post #2 and #6, except I prefer fixed D-loops. I had some like these at first, but all that jingling was really annoying with the rear window down.

    I tried these same movable type hooks but they rattle and echo in the bed a lot.

    Welp, I ended up going with these fixed loop type hooks. They are made for the bed but I put them in using the side rail holes. They don't rattle and are good enough for me to get a ratchet hook onto them.
