We're hands-on DIY people and we enjoy spending time outdoors doing the things that we love. Riding motorcycles, mini-bikes, horses, camping, canoeing / kayaking, Jeep ORVing, hunting, fishing, target shooting, working to improve whitetail deer and wildlife habitat on our property, and more...

Thanks, getting ready to install a set
I've purchased 4x 5' section of e-track and I'm looking at some ideal on how to mount it, your video was informative, but I'm debating on mounting them the exact width of my wheels for my ATV so I can use the straps that is design for tires. Thanks
Good stuff
Appreciate it, thank for watching...
Would you recommend hitting the bolts with some loctite thread locker?
Probably can't hurt. I check them once a year, and they are always nice and tight.
Those aren't going anywere. Do you think that the e-track can be loaded in any direction? Side-load vs in-line?
Yes, no problem
Backing plates would improve this if you're really concerned about safety.
I don't feel it's nessasary when using the washers. It's definitely a solid option. Thanks for the comment...
No issues using a socket with the track right next to the holes? The lifted part of the track doesn't get in the way?
No trouble at all. Thanks for watching. Best of luck...
Great job but I was wondering did you sealed the trailer because it would give your floor boards a longer life over all good job liked and subscribed
Yes, since it was a new trailer, I waited until the end of the season to seal it to let the treated lumber dry down good. Thanks for watching and subscribing...
Lag bolts wont last more than a year. I used lags on my trailer and a year later removed it and the bolts were all loose and not biting the wood.
I use both lags and throught bolts. Never had a problem with either on multiple trailers over many years. Must use lag bolts that are about 1/2 or more too long.
Should have used Nylock nut so they do not fall off.
20 years and 3 trailers and a simple lock washer has worked perfectly. I do an inspection every year and I've never lost 1 nut. Save your money!
Wouldn’t it have been easier just to use screws?
Yes but they can strip out much easier than bolts with washers. Also there are backing plates you can use to help expand the footprint on the underside of the wood even more
Actually you only need bolts or screws every two feet. Little over done
Since I hall a sub-compact tractor as well as my expensive Harley-Davidson, I think it's prudent to error on the side of caution. It doesn't hurt anything and gives me peace of mind. Thanks for the comment...
Apparently you're unaware of the axiom "If something CAN go wrong, it WILL go wrong!"
