Video Transcript for In-Depth Review of the TorkLift Tie Downs-TL26FV

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at these TorkLift Talon Custom Frame-Mounted Aluminum Front Camper Tie-Downs. Now, these tie-downs provide attachment points at the front of your truck bed for securing your bed-mounted camper. Now, these are custom fit camper tie-downs and they are designed to fit various versions of the early 2000 year models of the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado. To confirm that these tie-downs are going to work for your truck, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide on our website at etrailer.com, and insert the year, make, and model of your vehicle, and any other questions that that fit guide might ask of you, and our fit guide will let you know if these-tie downs will work for your truck. Now, the frame-mounted design ensures excellent handling, because securing your camper to your truck's base instead of its bed, better distributes weight to keep your setup from being too top-heavy. These brackets fit tight to the truck's frame, so there will be no loss of ground clearance, and these rustproof and lightweight aluminum alloy tie-down inserts secure to these durable stainless steel receiver brackets.

Now, the inserts can be easily removed, and what you see here are these bail pins that secure the inserts into our receivers, and so, you would just unclip and remove the bail pin, and then, as you can see, the insert will remove very easily, and when you have the insert removed, then these are really going to be virtually undetectable when they are not in use. And I do wanna show you that these do include caps that you can use to cover the receivers when not in use, and they will keep out dirt and debris and anything that might get in there and block that receiver. I will mention that they don't fit really great, so they might not stay on if you're going through rough terrain or a lot of, maybe, wind or something like that, they seem to just kinda be barely hanging on, so I just wanted to make you aware of that, but that is a nice addition that TorkLift includes to keep your receiver free and clear. Now, the inserts do have two different holes, so if your camper is a little bit wider, you would use this first hole on the insert to have that tie-down point stick out a little bit farther, and if your camper is a little bit narrower, you can move it in into this inner hole, and then these bail pins once again will secure these in place, just need to line up the holes, which I'm going to do right now, and secure this from behind, and it's gonna be a very easy thing to accomplish. Now, these feature a high-impact powder coat finish that not only makes them look really nice, but it's gonna add that extra layer of protection to the brackets and to the inserts.

You are gonna get two front tie-down inserts, frame brackets, all of the necessary hardware, and instructions, everything that you see here on my table before me. Now, the rear tie-downs are sold separately, and these are made in the USA. And that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me..
