That's a great setup, but I have a wooden deck on my trailer and I don't have the anchor points you do. I need to be able to anchor to the edge of the trailer. Not sure the tire nets will work that way.

I sure do understand, The E Track system is great, I'm replacing my present trailer with a drop and load 36' this summer. It will have the same E Track system. I have used the through rim straps as well that you can hook to the frame. No matter what I always put a safety strap to the frame to one of my tie down points.

Good luck with the pickup..

I mounted "D" rings in the steel floor of my trailer, so I could use the tire slings on any car I haul. If I had a wood deck on my trailer, I`d weld in some angle iron supports underneath to mount the "D" rings to.

I have stops at the front wheels. The rear wheels on the car are just behind the center of the rear wheels on the trailer.

I use these straps over the wheel/tyre, works great. This photo was before I lowered the trailer sides.
