TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
The units appeared to be well made and were nicely painted. I installed them on my F150. The tools and hardware supplied were of good quality and installation was straight forward. Two people would have been great, but I was able to install both sides in a little less than an hour. The holes all line up very well. I like these better than the previous units I had on my 2013, as they do not stick out as far - so less noticeable. The extension arms come out at a very nice angle just under the body. I find these units with quality I expected and I think they will be highly functional in attaching my camper.
When I first ordered these I re eived the wrong ones using their online selector, best to call them when ordering. Have been great. Bit of a process to install but easy to use and are a solid mount.

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
The TorkLift Custom Frame-Mounted Camper Tie-Downs were a breeze to install. We traveled over 8,000 miles and never had an issue. So easy to install and remove the ends when you use them. When removed, you can hardly see the frame mounted sections. Great product, especially when used with the Torklift FastGun turnbuckles.
Looking good. The frame mounts arrived well packaged and in good condition. Installation was very difficult on the 2014 f150. There are no videos covering this year of Ford. The written instructions were OK but the pictures truly are worthless, all you can see is a white stick pointing at some black object in a black picture. Do not attempt to install these mounts by yourself on a 2014 ford f150, there isn't enough room and you don't have enough hands. I wasted 3 hours trying to install the drivers side by myself and gave up. With my beautiful assistants help we were finally able to install the drivers side in 45 minutes. The passenger side too 45 minutes as well to install. Once again the product looks good and arrived in great shape. Time will tell how it performs.

Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs - No Drill Bed Mount - Qty 4
I used these to mount a vintage 1970 Avion C-11 to a 1993 D250. They worked great and were much stronger than I expected - and it was a huge cost savings (and a much more attractive look) than some of the frame mounted options of more than $1000. There were some oddities that I noticed. It was impossible to mount them exactly the way the instructions suggested because of where on the wings near the cab,. The brackets also could not stay on with the camper unloaded because they would hit the jack mounts, meaning they had to me bolted in after the camper was in the truck but before lowering the jacks, making the access to the bolts a frustrating 'feel for it' experience.I'f suggest the manufacturer secure the bolt so that you don't need to hold both sides when tightening/loosening, and also refine it to need less turns to do so. It took me 2 hours to mount the first time, and not much less when removing them with the limited access. The pads also came off in the first use. I gave it a 5 star because I realize there are limited options for older campers and anything universal is going to have issues with some thing - so that's just my input and experience. Overall pretty reasonable for the price and functionality.
Order arrived quickly, priced ok. Box was broken open by shipper NS the 4 T-bolsts bolts ere missing. Etrailer shipped ou the missing parts a few days later, but in the meantime I fashioned t-bolts I could use for my trip. Many customer comments on this camper Brophy tie-down match my experience. Etrailer follow up was great, but surely must be aware that their packing is sub-standard. Perhaps zip-tying the T-bolts to larger pieces would eliminate the loss even in case of breakage. Functionally the tie-dows were easy to install and seem quite adequate for off-road use of my in-bed camper. Will continue to use etrailer because of their excellent customer service.

Brophy Stake Pocket Mounted Camper Tie-Downs - Bed Mount - Qty 4
Put these on my 2002 F350. I have used torklift in the past and could never seem to get the camper (very light, 1100#) from moving around in the bed. I think that was due to the length of the chains and the angles they were at. With the Brophy's everything is good and tight. It can flex a little and sometimes does off road, but it is rock solid like a part of the truck 99% of the time. I have had none of the horror stories about it deforming the bed sides or anything like that. I would buy them again.
These appear to be well-made. I had a hard time drilling the holes, as the tubes that go in the stake pockets are rounded on the side that faces into the bed. The resulting slipped hole broke a couple of the sheet metal screws provided, luckily I had plenty of spares in my misc. hardware bins. The diagram shows both screws per bracket on the inside of the stake pocket. For my 1970 F250, I found it sturdier to do one on the inside, one on the side of each pocket, offset in height a little. Most of the problems I had were my own fault, though, trying to do this by lamplight as it got darker outside. I will point out for future users and to the team that writes the instructions: The instructions are very clear with a good diagram. Many of the other reviews say these twisted or bent on dirt roads, or bigger campers bent them, or they didn't fit the vehicle. There are very clear, concise guidelines about what not to use them on, including "Not for off-road use" The only problem with the instructions was this: For the hex bolts that go from the top through the bed rail, it says to use an 11/32 bit. The bolts provided are only 5/16. 11/32 is bigger than the hole in the brackets for these bolts. A 5/16 bit worked just fine, and was more readily available at my local hardware store. I will add pictures when we go to pick up our camper. For now, these seem more than adequate for the size, weight, and style of truck and camper we use.

VERY helpful phone staff. VERY fast delivery. After ordering the wrong part from a different site and banging my head trying to figure out why I couldn't install my tie downs, etrailer was very helpful and quick in getting the right ones for my truck. And then, installation was ez-pz.
Used only twice but had no issues. Worked very well.

TorkLift Talon Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Aluminum - Rear
Another retailer canceled my order and would not return my calls. etrailer sent it out right away and I had it in time to install before my trip. The Talon Camper Tie-Downs fit and performed perfectly. Instructions were accurate and helpful.
Excellent buying experience. The tie downs were shipped promptly and received on schedule. They were installed within an hour with no surprises on my 2016 f150 longbed. Looking forward to their use.

they work fine, but did not originally align with the truck's hole pattern on the frame. Had to have a shop do some work for me.
Fast shipping! Such an easy product to install. Kit was great - the bolt fishers are perfect. Excellent quality and made in the USA with great care. Excellent!

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Front
Quick, accurate purchase. Product installation is easy and straightforward!
I purchased the front and rear frame mounted tie-downs for my 2017 F-150. The whole installation took 3 or 4 hours. I don't work very fast. The tie downs solved several problems I had with anchoring my truck/camper. The tie-downs that came with the camper were just not adequate and forced the camper to sit higher in the bed of the truck. Not enough length for chains and shackles. These ties-downs sit low and if used with the TorkLift turnbuckles makes for a clean, solid and functional installation. My only issue is that one of the turnbuckles passes right in front of the gas filler cap. I purchased TorkLift FastGuns for the font so that it made for easy removal when I am filling up at the gas station. This isn't a TorkLift problem, it is just the way the everything ties down. I also like the way the tie-down extensions can be removed when not in use. I would not hesitate to purchase these products again if I was installing another truck/camper. Great product.

Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs - Extra Clearance - No Drill Bed Mount - Qty 4
Easy to put on they work perfectly very solid I have a 20-22 palomino SS 1251 truck camper Badland Edition doing a great job thank you a bunch
Overall, great design and build. The only change would be the T-bar being larger overall (L&W). It can be tricky to find a good spot in the truck bed wall to place the T-Bar. We had to craft some 2x4's to provide a flat surface (2002 F-150). The exterior attachment points do extend significantly outside of the bed of the truck. The dimensions image does not show this full dimension (Inner bed edge to outside attachment point. On our F-150 and Northstar TC800, there was not enough room to back the truck by the camper legs with these mounts installed. And, we cannot install them once the camper is on the truck.

HappiJac Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Bed and Bumper Mount - Front and Rear
Easy to install. Camper was only off my truck 2 hours. Better handling and more secure than pocket stake system. Only downside is drilling holes in exterior truck body, not a problem for me and blends in pretty well.
Exactly what I was looking for and a price that couldn't be beat!!! Also the order was here super fast!!

TorkLift Camper Tie-Downs - Custom Frame Mount - Rear
The hardest part of the installation was removing the frame bolts from the truck that are reused. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, and each piece fit perfectly where it was supposed to go. You don't need to be a mechanic to get these installed, but the proper tools are a must, along with a good chunk of an afternoon.
Kate was very helpful and professional Waiting for notification of my return
