Popular Post Chaitanya D Posted August 13, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Just wanted to share with all the xterra owners here .Easy way to secure cargo with bungee cords and spring nuts. These can be found at Golden Screws Ras Al Khor. Pictures are self explanatory whole spring nut and ring bolt set with washer (3AED per set) Steps Final after tightening These can be used in any car which has these kind of rails in the cargo trunk. You can use as many as you want to make it more secure and modular. Edited August 13, 2020 by Chaitanya D 8 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dear @Emmanuel, there is a hard plastic cover on the rails (as in pic below)which needs to be removed to get access. I am not sure why your X doesn't have these as mine is basic version and has it . Frankly I was going bonkers with moving stuff in the trunk. After fixing the hooks look tight and secure enough to hold items in place with 2 to 3 strong ropes /bungee. Will update how sturdy it is in desert after few drives for sure. PC @Shamil with thanks Edited August 13, 2020 by Chaitanya D 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaurav Posted August 13, 2020 Report Share Posted August 13, 2020 @Chaitanya D if these bungee cords fail, which will happen in few drives. Go with spider net from ACE and use your same hooks to secure it. 2 2 1 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secure the Jack, in case of flip it will bounce all around and may hit someone on the head. 3 2 Let's root for each other & watch each other grow.

Jefy Posted August 23, 2020 Report Share Posted August 23, 2020 As Gaurav said above, I have a big military bag with everything in the bag (multiple compartments, yes also the jack). I always secured it with bungie ropes (or how do you call these things) up to last week when I made a big jump. I realised that it might be not strong enough if you start rolling or in worse case scenario a forward flip. Don't underestimate the g-forces that occurs during an accident. (Imagine your jack flying on to your head) After this incident, I bought tie down straps and secure the bag firmly. Yes, it takes more time to secure, but we are talking about your life. 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many drives did the plastic container last? I used a similar setup for first newbie drive, which ended up container being shattered. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
