20-ETrack & Accessories for Trailer 

Backing plates are available for your E-Trac as lag bolts will eventually fail. This is especially important if you are not tied to the frame with nuts and bolts. Wheel bonnets are fine, but I have found running a heavy ratchet strap across the floor is an ideal mean to tie down UTVs and golf carts placing a rag, or edge guard on corners will reduce wear. An axle strap on the rear, or incorporating the hitch in a locking mechanism works well. Instead of bonnets I have used wheel chocks for the front wheels with the drawback being other trailer uses are limited. As long as E- Trac straps are pulling straight they will last. Pulling at even as little as 45 degrees will lead to premature failure of the fabric tie. Your redundancy in straps is a good idea as is securing loose strap ends as required. Between trailer and UTV weight a brake controller is required. Just mount the controller where you can easily adjust, or test the brakes. As I drive roads and highways I often shudder to see how loads are improperly secured on all types of vehicles and give them a wide berth. In risk management failure is often predictable. Thanks for sharing and making the effort.

Very nice trailer you purchased, I just got a big Tex 14 foot single axle trailer for my UTV's I was going to install the E tracks like you did but changed my mind and just bought several E-tracks to do the entire length of the trailer. I used nuts, large washers and bolts to secure the E tracks to the wood on the front, middle and end of each each track section and then used lag bolts for the rest, but I didn't do every hole, I think that will keep the tracks secured to the wood decking. I went to the E tracks because I got tired of getting to the trails and missing some tiedown straps, or they were dragging behind the trailer.

Nice trailer . This trailer needs chain pockets welded to the front of bed and rub rails on 3 sides . A few chain spools added would also been nice .

where did you find the ball receiver lock you discuss at around the 2:45 minute mark? I have the same new design and would prefer to securely lock it once on the tow ball.

Where did you get the e track and e track tie down?

Do you happen to know the length from front tire to rear tire is? I'm wondering if I could fit it on my 12 foot trailer with a atv

Great video! We just bought a very similar (Big Tex) 12 foot trailer for our UTV. Now that you have had this setup for a while, how is it holding up? I bought the E track but specifically I am interested to know if it is working well with the lag bolts. A lot of videos show people using bolts and nuts and some even using heavy backing plates on the bottom side of the trailer floor. I think that is probably overkill but I want to be safe. Are your lag bolts holding up to secure your UTV?

That will tear that tarp up hauling it down the road long distances. I would just try to use it when it's sitting in the sun or rain. You don't wanna reduce the life of that tarp. I bet that's expensive.
