Only on Lariat and above.Cleats didn't come with my truck...should they have? Need those knuckle busters...
Not standard, but they are also part of the XLT 302a package. Everyone I test drove had these sitting under the back seat in a plastic bag.Only on Lariat and above.
I had the same issue with the ones closest to the cab. Took off the bracket and hammered them in from the back side. Just a tight fit.Anyone else have their truck come with these? Mine are defective and won’t slide in to the anchor points. I even went as far as taking the anchor point off and try it free hand, and no go. Covered under warranty maybe?
I ended up doing the sameI had the same issue with the ones closest to the cab. Took off the bracket and hammered them in from the back side. Just a tight fit.
Am I in the right thread ? lolI used dish soap. Woulda used KY but im fresh Out. Wife tried spit, still not enough...
I know it's tacky to quote my own post, but this works. Give it a whirl. You don't need lube or tools.There's a trick to putting the cleats on. You have to rock them forward and back while lifting. If you're facing the anchor point with the cleat lined up in the hole, lift while tipping the cleat up and down in front. It'll still be tight, but it will slide on without tools or trimming the cleat.
Great video, I remember having an issue with one of them but when I turned the key one direction to make sure it was unlocked I think it was, it went right in. I also had a rubber headed hammer made it much easier.
Yeah that read like the beginning of a "Dear Penthouse forum"....for the olds that remember.Am I in the right thread ? lol
Rubber mallet did the trick for me. Tolerances are tight but needed since it’s a tie down.I was afraid the dealer spray-in bed liner was preventing the tie down from sliding. I took off one bracket to confirm the tie down was too tight. I resolved the issue with a rubber mallet.
