New! MPAC Straddle Prototype

Well, we have finally focused our attention on the front of the FJ. This is the first of several potential products that we have been working on. We still have some fitting work to do but IMO it is looking pretty nice. The final unit will be powdercoated black. We don't have a price yet but I anticipate a price around $70-75.00 for the rack alone.

Once I have a working model in my hands, I will showcase some potential pouches than we may stock as well. Right now...you just get to see the rack.

It will have the option of a velcro application or being fixed to the center console with screws/bolts. We anticipate that it will be a perfect spot for GPS units, IPODs, SPOT units etc. We will just have to what works out

I will be also working on an adaptor to mount a Blackhawk CQC Kydex style holster for those of us who carry and would like an accessable point for a pistol or magazines.

7/5/09 Updated photos of the latest prototype, painted in grey for photographic purposes.








As always, I would like to hear your comments

Update: July 21st 2009

Here is the hard mounting that we figured out for the straddle. We found a collapsing Jack nut that works perfectly for providing a hard mount for the FJ Straddle. Installation is just around 1 hour.

After the initial installation, the Straddle can be taken off using only an allen wrench in a matter of a couple of minutes. We will also supply velcro for padding and for those who do not desire the "hard Mount" option.

I have ordered the racks today and will start a presale later this week. Keep an eye out in the group buy section. We will be doing a combo deal initailly with one "map" style pouch and a small i-pouch. Cost for the combo will be $94.00 plus shipping ($117.00 value). OR The straddle can be purchased alone for $79.50.

Anticipated delivery is roughly mid-september

Keep in mind this is only for Automatic Transmission models. The M6 will follow soon.
