hard top cargo track

[oscar the grouch]

I need space to carry some light weight long things on top of my top. Not wanting to put a full blown rack up there just need some tie down points.

was thinking i would put some of these in the corners

Main goal is to secure the tent down.

For increased versatility, why not use some aircraft style L-track? Whichever style you choose to go with, make sure you use a backing plate on the underside of the hardtop.

i looked at those too.
backing plate is a definite.
those round pods are L track too. Issue i guess is where to secure it so that it supports it enough. the freedom panels would be difficult to get track onto

The first ones look really cool. How about regular footman's loops or something like that? (with backing plates, of course)

 

[oscar the grouch]

issue with those is the hooks are permanent and may flop and make noise when not in use.

They make it in most every color. I've used it in my trailer and it works well. I went with the black and it has held up.

Diggin the use of these on the trailer, will have to remember this when I go to rebuild mine after my deployment. I sure wish I had the balls to drill into my Hardtop.

Oscar, the round single clips you have on the first post are now available at Home Depot for $4 a piece, they have the track but only in 12" sections.

I picked a few up but haven't used them yet.

Good to know I ordered the set from Amazon. Does the home depot kit come with backing plates?

 

[Biggunns]

It does have the backing plate and nuts. The ones I picked up are anodized blue, which I hate so I'm going to strip them with oven cleaner.

Those keepers are awesome. You could use unis truth as well for the track bars.

Worked great
