I put some into my AUII.

They come standard with some in the front corners.

I then went to Blueys Ute World and pucked up some aircraft style eyelets that come with a single attaching point or on a track. The eyelets are removeable so when you don't need them, thery're not sticking out, and they can be moved along the track to suit your need.

I put short tracks in the middle of the sides (you can easily access the outside of the tray through the wheel wells for bolting). I then put single eyelets with self tappers into the top corners of the tailgate.

Blueys have heaps of options available, but I found these things to be the neatest solution for what I wanted.

just make some out of some flat bar/rod, bend it to suit and find a section of chassis frame to screw into to secure them.

Mate have had a few BA BF utes also had a few road bikes 1100 & 1300cc which have been carted 1600ks each trip.

And yep the tie down points that are supplied with the ute have worked for me

the stockers are alright, I find they tend to work themselfs loose pretty easily though, and over-tightening EASILY strips the thread....
