.....IF THE TRUCK STOPS RATHER SUDDENLY....THE CAR WILL MOVE FORWARD AS FAR AS THE STRAPS WILL ALLOW.....NOW! should the ties break or the e-track move off the screws.....the car moves forward into the passenger lounge.....this is called a CLUSTER F**K cuz all that are riding up front will feel the total weight of the car and all the contents form the back of the coach.....I'd suggest a class 80 safety chain around the rear axle to an anchor like the back bumper...just because I like reading your adventures on the TruckConversion Forum.....and I own a roll off tow truck and have lost a vehicle off the right side into a ditch.....with a lot of luck I survived the accident and I now have that safety chain in place.... if anything is on the truck bed including the lawnmower and anything else that I don't want to hit me in the back from sliding down the bed like a rocket.......geofkaye and the Rivercity Girlz....
