I would like to make some additional tie downs for the utili-track.  I would also like to make some racks to haul ladders, lumber, etc. over the crew cab.  Does anyone have any ideas or plans how to make utili-track fasteners?

Go to an electrical distributor.  They have this stuff called cantruss or unistrut.  You can buy it in the same dimensions as the utilitrack bars.  It is like a giant mechano set.  You can make anything with it. 

I have a rack big enough for two whitewater canoes.  I just welded some 1.5 in square tubing together and bolted it to the track with some cantruss "spring nuts"  Check this out.  Every frontier owner should have a good supply of cantruss!

Thanks, Grey Jay,

That's really good advice.  I'll check out that hardware this weekend.
