I made tailgate support wires for the cart. The bed was only 40" deep so I couldn't easily haul 2x4's in it. I drilled 1/8" holes, took my 130lb steel line, crimped loops on the end, stuck 1/8" steel rivets in, and riveted it in.
Now my bed is 47.5" deep, which still isn't deep enough to haul 2x4's. But I'm going to make something for the tailgate to make it a little taller. I want to embed eye loops flush in the bed itself so I can use ratchet straps to hold stuff down, but that's a different project.
