You can buy additional tie-downs (check ebay), and there is an overhead rack system available from Nissan that works with the utilitrac rails...see attached.
Not bagging, but how strong are they? My set-up is used to hold my bikes, and all sorts of stuff that gets tied down hard...If you go to home depot look in the hvac section there are spring nuts that will allow you to pretty much attach anything to the utiltrac system.
Got it...ThanksI wouldn't use them for a full size motorcycle because it doesn't cost that much to buy the others but I use to fabricate fishing rod holders and moutain bike mounts. I am sure they would hold a motorcycle by why take the chance. They are mainly to allow you to bolt up other stuff to the bed than as a securing device as itself.
Since the overhead racks were not tall or wide enough I had a friend fabricate a set of these for me:DeadRiver said:daryl, i've been dying to fab my own overhead racks for my titan.. something that suites my needs better... let me know if you want specifics on what i've found so far. the utilitrack sure is handy to have and i belive it's similar to another product, Unitstrut, which they make quite a few pieces of hardware for. I currently own the overhead racks, sliding bed extender, and bed divider. i just wish the overhead rack front portion hung over the cab slightly...
I dont which is cooler- the tie downs or the bottle opener in the pic.loufish said:Oh...grasshooper I have what you seek...
Take the bed stops and remove the 10mm head bolt(it's staked to keep it from falling out, spray plenty of WD-40 and keep working it in and out till it comes all the way out) and then drill out the top aluminum block to 7/16", the drill out the steel base to 25/64" and then tap the base to 7/16"-20 to accept the forged eye bolts used for clip in racing seat belts...
The last pic you can see what they look like when on the truck, I use these for everything, the eye bolt itself is rated for 5,000 lbs...
Can you attach pics? Im going to Home Depot in the am.Seerex said:If you go to home depot look in the hvac section there are spring nuts that will allow you to pretty much attach anything to the utiltrac system.
What a great tip. My mind is racing w/ ideas. Thanks for the fun.Seerex said:here you go , at home depot they come in a clear plastic bag and go by the name of superstrut but are also names unistrut, seen then in the hvac area and in the electrical area. When attached in the channel you can basically bolt anything up to it, I attached my fishing rod holders to them as well as a bike fork holder to hold my mountain bike upright in the truck. Good Luck
