Your e-tracks are fitting better than mine. Mine have a slight downward lean. What's your trick?

That looks really nice! I just posted this on the other thread, but I'll add it here too:
This is what I did.......(I posted this a few months ago)...the board slides into the vertical slots just behind the rear wheel wells.

I stole the idea from the "Best Mods under $50" thread. I bought a 2" x 12", pressure treated board....8 feet long (they didn't have 6'), as you'll need about 66" if I remember correctly. I have a hole saw (for putting holes in doors, etc.), so I drilled the largest holes I could. My wife painted a couple of coats on it, I screwed the milk crate in, and cut 2 rubber strips (from a piece of old truck tire I have) to drop in at each end to keep the board in place better (rattle-wise). This configuration makes it easy to put grocery bags in the back....1 in the box, 2 bags...put them both on one side of the box.....3 bags...1 in the box and 2 on one side.....you get the idea. Holds 5 grocery bags great, or 4 cases of beer and a 12-pack of good beer in the middle ;-) It's quite functional, and can be lifted out in 2 seconds if you need to load something into the bed. Even with the cleats in, I can just squeeze the board up, angled a little, and slide it up past the cleats without removing them.

I think the board cost around $15, plus the old milk crate that I had.

I am using a vinyl fence board cut to fit in between the notches on the inside bed wall between the wheel and the tailgate. It's lightweight and easy to take in/out and adjusts with the notch locations. It does a good job of keeping stuff from rolling around for the price. It was free after helping my neighbor put up the fence and he had a few left over.

The e-tracks sit pretty level. There is a lot of play side to side, but they don't lean.

The temporary mat is a $40 stall mat from the lumber yard. I'm getting a liner sprayed in soon and I will have to trim the end of the board a little more to fit. Clean off the duct tape residue too

Sorry I meant the brackets that are screwed into the side of the bed. The black ones. I think they can also be used for the stowaway ramps as well as other items. Thanks for the link on the other brackets tho.
