I plan on using my toyhauler for construction work and need to secure my tools / gang boxes in the garage section. It would be easier to strap them to the walls if that's possible, but I'm not sure if it's recommended to attach e-track to the wall studs / what their layout is / best fastener...

While I at first had no idea that taking those skins and walls off was even an option, I'm now convinced it's the way to go.

Hello, I am doing a ground up rebuild of a 67 overlander and we carefully took out all the rivets and wall panels and I am thinking of covering the panals with leather, fabric or wallpaper before reinstalling (or after but i sense we would use the rivets as part of the look). Has anyone ever...
