Best way to secure an enclosure without bolting it down.

[MONSONwarrior Premium Member]

My box slides around quite a bit and I was wondering what the best method to secure it down would be, minus bolting it down. I was thinking maybe velcro to the carpet? I'm not exactly sure what would be best.

EDIT: It also doesn't sit like it is in my avatar, it's laid down normally.

real real heavy duty velcro a few strips of it can make it a ***** to move

L-brackets? Maybe even some textured paint to help grip the carpet

It's covered in truck bed liner, and yeah, I was thinking velcro would do a good job and if I put the loop down on the carpet it's still removable. My system is designed so I can just pull it right now when need be.

Use a ratchet strap. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You could also think about cutting a panel in the same shape as the floor of your cargo area and bolting the enclosure to that. It would still be removable, but it'd take more effort to get it out...

Velcro works wonders.

Have used it in my car due to lack of places to bolt down (flimsy plastic frame over spare tire well). Held a 25lb battery tight as can be. Almost broke the plastic frame when it was removed.

Use a tub of bacon grease, and slap that **** on the area where the enclosure will be, it works wonders.

That was considered.

This is being implemented.

Will only work if 2 tubs are applied while singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" in a Norwegian accent. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
