In addition to people watching that is only rivaled by the county fair and major airports, Harbor Freight has some nifty little D-ring anchors on sale right now for $0.99. I paid something like $5 for what appear to be identical units at Home Depot over a year ago for Grocery Getter v2.0:

I picked up a few pairs just to have around. Never know... :wink:

I dunno, and I'm not real good at the maths, but I can vouch for them being stout enough to hold down a fully loaded 60qt cooler and (2) medium sized, also fully loaded, Action Packers over some pretty terrain at a high rate of speed :oops:

I'll give it a 10!! Put 4 of them in the YJ several years ago and I must say they definitely hold well.

These make great tie-down anchors for smaller tie-down straps (motorcycles, etc).

If you want them to be stronger, solid-weld the spot on the D where the two wire ends meet (under the strap). I think they are only spot-welded, if welded at all.
