Torque Lift Tie Down Anchor Flew Off!!

Does anyone know where I can order *just the insert* for a Torklift TC tie down?

The part with the 2 holes that slides into the thing that looks like a hitch receiver coming out of the side of the truck?

Somehow... My pin vanished that holds it in place and the thingbflew off the truck on 75 near Tampa yesterday.

Looked VERY long in the rear view mirror so I thought it was road debris someone hit. Turns out it was road debris I created.

I don't know where I was when it flew off so I need to get just that part.

Seems to come as very expensive full kits only.

I just need the driver's side rear insert. The one farthest away in this pic.

  • Hey, I just found an insert laying on the road near Tampa. I'll sell it to you...cheap.:p
  • Wrapping up this thread SEVERAL forum members offered up their spare parts to me. I'm grateful and in awe of this community. Thank you so much for this.

    I went and got one here in Florida from a forum member.

    In addition to this, Torklift also offered a free replacement. They sent me a PM since they saw this thread and ordered a free replacement. I'd only have to pay shipping.

    Considering it's my fault it fell off, I can't believe the support and sense of community here as well as by Torklift.

    A deep thank you to everyone.

    So you don't lose your new replacement insert, make sure that your square lock pins rest on the top of the insert (right) and don't hang down (like on the left in the image below) where they can get snagged or removed by logs, branches or other solid objects that you back over during a multi-point u-turn on a forest service road or at a campsite.

    Bought just a single insert from TL as well to replace one I lost.

  • Torquelift has the most awesome customer service! Their free offer dosen't surprise me.
  • Me either. I do not understand why contacting them wasn't the obvious first choice of solutions.

    Thought I was the only one being overly paranoid about installing them on top, rather than below. lol
