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.

    Even faster!

    I have the exact one I need as the front driver's side tie down. They could copy it exactly.

    I build rear tie-downs myself and it is 1" square tubing you can buy at Home Depot.
    Than I used 3" square washer used for house anchoring to weld it on the end and drill 2 holes.
    About $10 worth of material.


    Now that's a good idea!

    Could you expand a little more on how you bolted the flat, end face plate with the holes to the 1" square tubing?

  • Yup, call Torklift. They have great customer service.
