Am I the only one disappointed in the E-Track accessories available on the market? Searching EBay and the Googles just finds D-rings, ratchet straps and hooks for ropes. There are a few interesting things, like a spare tire mount and holder for a 2x4, but that's it.

I didn't realize how underutilized those modular mounts were until a good friend was poking around my truck. He's a gun guy and half jokingly asked if there were rifle racks that fit into the mount. That got me thinking. I need a way to secure my truck box and using these mounts seems like a good idea (might try to make two spare tire systems work). But what about just a 6"x6" plate with holes drilled in it to provide a modular mounting interface for stuff? Or a truck box that fits in the corner? A mount for a hi-lift?

Maybe I'm just expecting too much from a system apparently more designed for moving trucks and trailers. Your thoughts?

 

I too expected to see this Box Link develop into a line of usable and innovative options. Now I really don't see a point to it.

 

It wouldn't be too big a deal to build a mount that fits into the box-link holes.

 

I believe with some imagination, tools and skills you could make a lot of things to work with box link.

Example E track which is mainly cargo handling / stabilizing:

some accessories for e track: Snap Rack | Connect. Organize. Build.

E-Track/O-Track & Accessories « Erickson Manufacturing Ltd.

E Track Hooks and Fittings - Cargo Equipment Corp.

I think for example a nice jerry can rig can be made to mount on E track attached to the truck box mounting points.

 

I've got the imagination, but not the skills and even fewer tools. That's the problem. I'm going to swing by a Harbor Freight and see what they have. If I can get something that I can easily cut way then it might be feasible to make something.
