you have them cargo rings? That is all I have...MATS will be expensive...

Take a drive up to Detroit to Truck and Tow, they will have everything you need, 10 ft sections of etrack, all the straps (they make them there) and all the fancy rings.

By the way, I never used my rings in the van and only three times with the truck.

Au contraire: vendors at MATS will offer better deals [sometimes they just don't wanna haul a lot out of there, & will sell it cheap] than you'd get otherwise. It helps if you know what a good deal is, though, so price shop first.

One quick nondescript method is to Google "trailer repair" in your closest town. They should sell it. They may even install it for you. You CAN get it at Northern Tool and Harbor Freight, but it's much more expensive and only in like 4-5 foot pieces.

By the way, I've had a great experience buying straps from Ebay as well. Great prices. Here is the seller: eBay My World - kingroyworld
(Hope that link doesn't violate any advertising rules.) If that link doesn't work, look for the user name: kingroyworld

I got my E-track and E-track tie-downs from a horse trailer place where I live.

Jack_Berry · Mar 25, 2010

got mine from a trailer maker in mke. the local shop had not full lths of e-trak. since then i have cut down the full lths into shorter ones and use sparingly.

there is a trailer repair shop in toledo west on exit 210 that can supply it for you. name escapes me. maybe dennis knows its name.

Here is the place we use not far from Panther. Their price's are in line with most places.

Cargo Load Bars, Ratchet Straps, Tow Straps, Moving Blankets—Lodi Metals, Inc.

I hope this helps.

Two places that carry e-track and accessories, Portable Generators, Welders, Pressure Washers, Power Tools | Northern Tool + Equipment and Tractor Supply Company - Home Best choice is Northern tools, they have five foot lengths. Search “e-track” on their web sites.

Too bad I am not at home where we can get together, I have 40 ft of E-track and 8 ratchet straps that I would of given you just to get started.I carry 4 ratchet straps in the van, one load bar cut to size to fit in the e-track on the side walls.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing now that you sold the van?

Cheri, you are sooo right. I figured up the results of my shopping spree. I left MATS having purchased, been given, and won about $2100 worth of products. I spent $1150. The only frivolous items were some really cool tunnel chicken lights. Well, and the extra $5 a piece to get pink load lock bars.
