Was looking for the best way to mount this:


$90 TRACKSIDE Aluminum Folding Ramp

I'm worried about rattle and metal on metal damaging the finish

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Go buy two cans of Harbor Freight Bedliner Spray and coat the hell outta it. I sprayed my shovel with it and it is serious stuff. I have seen it on sliders too and they were my inspiration. I put 5 coats on my shovel and can't wait to test it out.

 

great! now how do i mount it to the rack ?

 

If it's not gonna be there permanently just use tie downs, the cinch type. If it is, then use whatever other type of locking devices other people use to secure things like jacks, shovels, etc.

Edit:
Maybe just a cinch tie down a good cable lock?

 

How to mount plano box on rack and what's best box to get

 

Sup Caleb? I saw a setup on here and the guy used some sort of quick disconnect type of pin that attached to the rack.

@EatSleepTacos may know what I'm talking about and can provide the info on which Plano he uses on his.

 

2" square u-bolts from the hardware store. 4 per box will do the trick

 

That's a semi-permanent setup right B?

 

No. Easily removable for me when I gifted mine to my brother.

 

Well, yes, definitely easy enough this way. What I saw was a tooless connection that allowed you to take the boxes off and put them back in seconds. And still keep them secured when they're up there.

 

Heck yea man I just trying to find the most common way people are attaching these things I see them on alot of trucks on here and curious on how to mount one and wich one is best to get

 

Why not carriage bolts in the expensive 80/20 track on the actual rack?

 

If you are putting more weight into the boxes, the u-bolts will be a bit more secure and fit to handle the weight.

 

Not sure how long a case you need but this one is on sale right now:

$83 Plano 42” Long Gun Case, Black, Gun and Accessory Storage with Internal Locking Protective Foam, Hard Double Gun Case

https://www.amazon.com/Plano-107420...ano+gun+case&qid=1553783254&s=gateway&sr=8-15

 

Interesting. 1/4-20 bolt shear strength is well above my personal safety margin.

 

This one is a little longer and cheaper:

$69 Plano Molding Double Rifle/Shotgun Case, 1502-04

Thanks Joe. The system or fastener I saw was not as elaborate at this though. These are really nice.

 

Are the load panels worth it?

Asking for a friend...
