Buyers Products Horizontal E-Track - Gunmetal Gray Powder Coated Steel - 5' Long - Qty 1

Video Transcript for Buyers Products Horizontal E-Track Review

Adam: What's going on, everybody Adam here with etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Buyers Products horizontal E-track system. Both the five and the two are going to be five inches wide. And each mounting hole from center to center is going to be spaced apart two inches, and the hole is going to have a diameter of a quarter of an inch. So, the hardware that comes with the backplate kit is perfect for this application. It does have a nice gunmetal gray powder-coated finish, which really looks cool, but it all just depends on what kind of color you want.

If you're really just wanting a five-footer that is black, they actually do make one at etrailer, and this comes in black or silver. If you're looking to get something longer, we also do carry eight foot tracks. To begin the installation, what we want to do is just get an idea of where we want to put them. And once we get it where we want, what we need to do is grab a 15/64th inch drill bit and start drilling our holes.We don't have hardware that comes with the kit, but I am going to be using the backing plate, which comes with hardware so that's going to knock it all out. All-in-one little accessory.

So go ahead and just drill whichever holes you see fit for your specific trailer and tracks. And the hardware is going to require a 11 millimeter socket to kind of get it down in there. Our five foot tracks, what we're going to want to do is put one on each end, and then we're going to put one directly in the middle, and that's going to be perfect for that. If you do have the two foot version, all you have to do is just put two on them. Now we're going to go ahead and go underneath and install our bracket with the nuts and washers provided.

But also, what you're going to need is somebody up top holding this down with an 11 mil and then you're going to need the deep well socket for underneath.Now we can go ahead and line this up. Perfect. And then take our washer and our lock nut, put that on. And I like to get it snug first with one of these bolts so you're not just having to hold it up the whole time. That'll do.

And then we can do the same exact thing for the other three. And this is when that friend is going to come in handy to go up there and help keep this bolt from coming up like that whenever you're tightening it down. We're going to do that same exact thing for our other two brackets. Now with our backing plates in place, what we want to do now is identify where our frame bars are in your trailer. If you don't have them, that's fine. We'll just go ahead and drive some bolts through with some washers. But we have some frame rails here, so what I suggest doing is taking the same drill bit, drilling out all the way to the frame, and then go ahead and take some extra long self-tappers to drive her through and get it secured to that frame.It's really going to help add to the strength of your tracks. There's a bunch of different ways we can go ahead and tie down our four-wheeler. What I like to do is use the wheels and use the track to get it secured. That way we're not putting any stress on the suspension. And what I used to do this is the retractable ratchet strap because it's nice and clean and it snaps right into the tracks, making it quick and easy to do. If you don't prefer to strap down your machine this way, you can also get a little tie-down loop, put it in there, and then use the bar, something like that, with the etrailer strap kit to get everything strapped down. The etrailer strap kit comes with four, so you can get one for each side and that'll be perfect.To sum it all up, E-track systems are amazing for your trailer, garage, or anything else you may want to use them for. I really like these just because of the gunmetal gray powder-coated finish, but they only come in two and five. If you really want more color options and more size options, etrailer makes one that has a wide variety of sizes and colors. Well, everyone, that just about does it for our look at the Buyers Products horizontal E-track system..
