Got my M-PAC Springtail Side Rack installed!!!

so easy, a monkey could do it!

Got my M-PAC box and it was like Christmas all over again! Even my 'kids' helped me unpack the box!

Bugged the hubby to play with my rack and he gladly obliged

Told him he was being timed and through all the fumbling around and dropping allen wrenches and washers and such (he'd never make it on a Nascar pit crew ), he finished in ~ 15 minutes (with the extra bolts put in)...

Wow!!! it looks awesome and is super sturdy... I could probably do pullups on it if I could contortion myself that way

Simple install... clean looks... outstanding quality product... well worth the investment!

Thanks Doc (and all your 'elves') for the work put into this...





the install:
pre-side rack; red bungee wrapped around grocery hooks, holding m-pac bag and Gerber shovel

Looks nice. I just installed the rear door MOLLE panel, but I thought the side panel looked too expensive for now.

But my big question: was the tabby included in the package?

The side panel seems more expensive but it has a couple if special machined parts that make it work well. Also it is perfect for the heavier loads (Air tanks, fire extinguishers, ect) You will buy it sooner or later if you are like me.
