Anyone used L track before?

[Plumber32]

Looking at tie down options and I like the versatility of the e track systems.. but I ran across L track and like the smaller foot print.. anyone used the L track?

This girl did. See how it turns out reinventing the wheel!

Do they have wheel straps/nets readily available? If it's yes, then try it. If not go the normal route.

Yeah.. it’s what macs uses

I am waiting on @JTW - to do that

What hardware will you be using?

What hardware will you be using?

No idea.. but just like the e track it’s only as strong as your fasteners.

Very common in Handicap school buses but is recessed into the floor. Very durable but doesn’t work well with dirt and grime. It does look better than the e track especially if you could recess it into the floor somehow.

They make heavier anchor rings. That is what I used on both of my aluminum trailers. It is also what they use on aircraft for both the seats in the cabin and tie downs in the hold.

They have the biggest variety and do custom at reasonable prices.

Happened upon this L track from Mytee.com... they’re a trucking company and was significantly cheaper than anything else I’ve found. Figured I’d give it a try.

Oh I’m aware.. I’m just on a limited time frame between Moab and getting it done. Trying to do it right the first time. I don’t want holes I don’t need in my trailer

This is when you F-up. Don't get in a hurry. Even if you have to tie your rig down in whatever fashion you've used in the past.
Take your time and pick out the method you will live with from now on.

I keep telling myself that.. unfortunately I have to do something on the floor ties as there are only 4 currently and they’re 20’ apart. Can’t make it work with 2 machines in there. BUT... I think the track will work well. Just going to get it and inspect it thoroughly before putting it in.
