E-Track install tips

[ebender1968]

Thanks for the info! Can you explain what you mean by "sxs"? I plan on using the e-track wheel chock and I strap behind the fender over the axel so there is no load on the suspension. I think that using the 3/4 inch lags along with the weight of the front end being on it would be plenty. I also plan to get the schematics from GD so I can place extra e-track in the garage and mount them through the frame rails using self tapping metal lags. Thanks again for your response! Look forward to any other suggestions you or others may have.

Sxs = side by side

It all depends on how wide your unit is, mine is a General, so centered in garage it is in between trailer rails . This being said, I measured the distance between tires centre to centre put the etrack at that measurement from centre of trailer. That way the weight of the toy is directly above etrack,so you have the weight of the toy on etrack plus the lag bolts holding it down making it more secure.Also doing it this way the straps are directly in the centre of the tires so pulling it straight down, in my option making it more secure. In my case if I was to put etrack s above trailer rails the weight of the toy would not be on the etrack and the straps would not be pulling straight down. My 2 cents ,hope it helps someone out.

This is the way. Disregard where the frame is. Place the E track where it fits the vehicle. The floor is plenty strong using plenty of lags.
