Ryan: Hey, everybody. My name is Ryan and here at etrailer we install, test fit and review a lot of different parts, that way we can answer any questions those of you might have. And that's exactly what we're doing here today on our 2020 GMC Sierra 2500. We're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the TorkLift Frame Mounted Rear Camper Tie-Downs. Now right off the bat, before we get too deep, I do want to mention to safely and properly secure your in-bed camper, you're also going to want a set of these for the front and you can pick them up individually or as a complete kit, right here at etrailer.Well with that being said, these are going to be an excellent way to conveniently and securely mount down your in-bed camper. And since these do connect right to our truck's frame, you know they're going to be extremely strong and really give you that peace of mind whenever you're going down the road.So the way these work are super simple.
Your turnbuckles are going to connect to them here and they're going to go up to your in-bed camper and that's what's actually going to kind of draw and tie everything together. If you're still unsure what turnbuckles you would like to use, ones that I really like are also made by TorkLift. They're called the FastGuns and they work perfectly with these tie-downs and not to mention, they're super easy and quick to use. So these do come out past the side of our truck, a little ways.And for those of you that are curious exactly how much, I'll just go from center of our tie-down here to our bumper. Looks like it's going to be right at about four and a half inches.
Now if you need them to come out further, that can be accomplished. Right here, we're going to have a pin and clip. You can remove it. I'll just pull it out some and show you guys, but we're also going to have another hole, right there. So what you can actually do is line that one up, put your pin and clip back in and that sets it out quite a bit further, actually.
So we'll take that same measurement. Looks like from the bumper, so there's about eight and three quarters of an inch.One thing that is pretty cool about these, is whenever you're not using your in-bed camper, if you want to, you can leave them installed. However, what I would suggest doing is removing them and all we're going to have to do is remove that pin and clip, pop these out. You can put them in your garage, in the back of your truck, wherever you want to keep them. And with it like this, you really can't even tell that you have anything going on down here unless you're more or less kind of on your hands and knees looking.
You're never going to be able to see that receiver. So it really does do a great job of maintaining that factory GMC appearance.So when it comes to camper tie downs, I will say TorkLift really does do a great job at making them. Just the overall fit and finish is really nice. All the steel is nice and thick, even down to the welds. They're super clean and accurate. And even the little things, the finish that's on this is almost like a textured hammer tone, powder coat finish, if you will. So this should do a great job of holding up to scratches and nicks and even rust and corrosion. So these should stay looking good for years to come.Now as far as actually putting these on, it shouldn't really take you a whole lot of time. They do actually utilize factory attachment points, so the holes in the frame rail there. So you're not going to have to cut or drill anything or really modify anything for that matter. As long as you stay focused, it shouldn't really give you any issues at all getting them on at home. Speaking of which, let's go ahead and put them on together now.The beginner installation, we're going to be working on our drive side here, underneath our truck and what I went ahead and did was just temporarily removed our spare tire, just to give us some extra room to work. With that being said, if we move right here, this is where we're going to mount everything up. So the first thing we need to do is remove this little bracket here. This was there for our spare tire keeper to clip onto. So we're going to pull this off and set it to the side for now. And so we don't have any interference, we're also going to pull this nut insert out. I'm just going to use a little pick and kind of pull down on it, slide it out.Now I'd like to go over our attachment points that we're going to be using. We're going to have a total of three. We'll have this hole, this one and this large one. So we need to get our hardware in place.
