I can take some for you if you'd like. Not really impressed with the Utilitrak mount. It is rather flimsy and that 3 Gal Pak with it's weight will be vibrating all over the place. I'm going to a least make a brace to connect to the trak on the floor at that end of the bed...

I'm still running around town with the dirt from Mojave Road; does that count?

Motorpig77; Sorry, it took me awhile to get these posted...

Here are a couple of the Utilitrak mount as attached to the trak, the top is generally secure, but the plate with the weight has nothing to stop it from vibrating fore/aft.

I just want to attach a short 'L' brace from the floor trak to the bottom of the plate.

Now with the 3 Gal RotoPax mounted, it clears well on top and bottom

That's it, I'm sure it can be improved. Maybe the entire mount can be a DIY project as well...

Post by: Motorpig77 on June 30, 2013, 01:12:26 AM: Thanks for the pics...I can see where it could use some reinforcing to make them more stable back there. I'll look into it and see what I can up with!

Post by: SD_Frontier on June 30, 2013, 09:15:03 AM: Ooh I like those. I might mount my hi lift vertically and get some rotopax and mounts. Lemme know how you reinforce the bottom.
