It's been a productive day
I spent part of my day upgrading my cargo trailer by installing E Track cargo cargo control system inside. This E Track is awesome. Now that I've installed it I can pretty much secure anything in my trailer.Well... that is once I order some more for the other wall that is. With 2000 lb. working load anchor points, I actually need to upgrade my ratchet straps in case I ever need to secure such a load.
I ordered this E Track combo deal and I couldn't be happier. I'm going to order 3 more tracks for the other wall and some E Track Ratchet Straps.

Cut an opening in the side for a 6,000 btu window ac and a hole in the floor so you don't have to go outside at night and you've got the makings of a true multi purpose vehicle

E-track is great! Just don't overload it. And that's a pretty good price on straps in that link. You might call a local truck parts store or semi-trailer dealer and see if you can beat it, but my guess is, even after shipping, they won't beat it by much.
Great job!

LOL... I've seen a few "modified" cargo trailers in my time here in South Louisiana.

E-tracks are better fire insurance than GEICO. 
I sure wouldn't want to do a panic stop with loose cargo and all those gas cans in front.

Plus they are next to a great ignition source, what appears to be an outlet that has a compressor or whatever plugged into it.
No carpeting or plastic near the plastic containers, that is a definite plus.
Please don't take this in a negative way, think of Safety and Prevention. Remember the vapors rather the liquid is your biggest enemy.
So rearrange the containers, we would like to read more of your Posts in the future. 
A good quick little read NIOSH/Hazard ID/ Fire Hazard from Filling Portable Gas Cans in Pickup Trucks and Cars

Seeing all those gas can up front, got me thinking someone might steal the trailer just for the gas. This weekend I filled up my truck and 2 gas cans: 5 gallon for my rider, and 2.5 gallon for my trimmer for the grand total of $115.00. Went in to pay for it, and the sales clerk had the nerve to say "that all" when I said $115 on pump #5--like I could afford to buy more in the store after that.

No outlet, no compressor, just a ten gallon steel gas container with a siphoning hose for dispensing fuel (with the container on the ground outside of the trailer of course).

Well I appreciate the concern, misplaced as it is.
