Default cargo tiedowns

What is everyone here using to hold your cargo down when wheeling. I usually pack light when out on a trip. Usually just tote full of spare parts, tool box, cooler, spare dshaft, spare tire. I have rachet straps but i feel like there's a better way of holding it down

Post pics and lets hear about what you use!

I just leave some twinkles in my cooler and tell a really fat person if they stay back there and hold the fort down, they can eat the twinkles.
Great way to get rear end traction too!!

If I can't find a fat person, I just use straps.

is that a sway bar??

I would think a cargo net would be ideal, preferably rigged where it can be tighter or looser pending the load, and attached securely to floor... I have only lightly wheeled mine and haven't had the need to bring much, but I intend to get a net maybe even an old heavy duty fishing net...

Giant piece of plywood to the floor and put some E-track along it. Same to the back of the seat.

I use eye-bolts with fender washers mounted through cargo floor where sheet metal is doubled up. Also eye-bolts above fender wells mounted to interior sheet metal at a strong point and at rear corners above tail lights.
Hit a lot of whoops and jumps so everything has to be secure.
