What's in the little pill box around Cujo's neck? Good place for a spare key. Dogs are great. They are totally oblivious to how ridiculous they look after being shaved.

I like the rack system. How exactly does it mount on the left side? Any drilling required (forgive me if this is stated in the thread or on your web site). I especially like the idea of mounting a CO2 tank and maybe a fire extingisher. What is the weight limit? Do you have any pictures that show what the lockup system on the backs of the bags or CO2 brackets look like? Velcro? Hooks?

Re: PRESALE: M-PAC Side Rack Combo

We have 3 large dogs, the box around his neck is 9volt reciever for the underground fence. They have about a 5 acre perimeter to patrol...keeping out the undesirables. Mostly, it is chasing rabbits and hassling the UPS man

I will be posting the mounting instructions after I collect all of the production parts and have a photo session. This is just about the easiest install of any aftermarket product. If you only plan on mounting light stuff on the rack...it will only take 5 minutes to mount. Add 10 more minutes if you put in the bottom bolts to mount things like the Powertank.

Stay tuned!

Doc

I can't wait to see how you mounted the PowerTank. I've been looking for a good way to do that w/o killing all the usable space on that side of my FJ.

Post pics soon??

PS. Still loving my door rack!

Re: PRESALE: M-PAC Side Rack Combo

Sorry for being thick but I've never kicked the tires on a system like this. Still having a hard time understanding exactly by what mechanism that bag mounts to the rack (and thereby the CO2 tank, fire extinguisher, etc.). Once the bag is mounted, can you just lift it and go, or does mounting/removal involve some kind of additional fastener?

Maybe you could mount that bag to the rack and then take a picture from behind the rack??? That would probably clear things up in my foggy brain.


Thanks!

Re: PRESALE: M-PAC Side Rack Combo

I understand, if you don't have previous experiences with MOLLE/PALS systems...it may be a difficult concept to pick up at first. Add to that, our product is completely unique unto itself

See if this link helps...

If you have further questions...please feel free to ask.
