1st Mod, L Track installed

[insangsong78]

Added L track. 1st mod. It was PIA to put the reinforcement aluminum bar to the back side and hold the nut in but managed to get it all on in couple of hours.

Nice, I did mine last weekend.

I'm going to tackle the L-Track install on the bed floor in the next couple of weeks.

As I mentioned earlier, I did the Standard L-Track in the same place insangsong78 a few weeks ago. This past weekend I added Airline L-Track to the bed floor.

Can I ask the dumb question of how you installed this? I’m just not much of a dyi’er but would love to do this to my new 2024. My assumption is make sure there is a throughput location, drill, bolt (maybe with anti-corrosion liquid put on first)?

Very carefully...

Measuring and mapping the exact location for the holes to be drilled took the most amount of time. There are a few area's under the truck bed that you need to be careful around, electrical, fuel, area's with no access and bonded panels. For the few area's that had limited access underneath the bed I used nutserts.

Interesting. I’ve seen this used for seats in vans, but now I’m wondering how it can make my raptor better. What are you guys using it for other than movable cargo tie down points?

 

[MDJAK]

can we see it in use? What the hell do you use it for?

I know for me and I'm the noob so most likely stating the obvious, speaking into the future for WHEN I get the l-track on the truck, I had them in my Sprinter, yes for seats, but also they ran the entire length of the van: so like MORaptor1 said: any moveable cargo for me: BBQs, fire pit, collapsed chairs, cooler(s), etc...I got so used to strapping everything down in the van for safety and also (mostly haha) for noise and rattle reduction. Been so long since I had a truck I just have the same mindset to strap everything down so keep 'er in place. Biggest on to be honest, I have a Howl campfire (pure steel), wouldn't want that sucker flying around back there, she's pointy.
