    I'm looking to mount the new 3.5 gal FlexPax cans with something like this. Let me know if you can fab something.

    I measured the mounting holes for the rotopax mounts... they are only 2.5" apart. I am working on designing a mounting plate with my fab guy.

    I will let you know when we have one that works!

    $40 comes with a painted mounts, and hardware for mounting to the bed rail. The rest is up to your imagination!

    Turned out awesome!

    I found that with my fiberglass handle shovel the quick fists are a bit to large and i have to really get the quickfists tight to hold it. While offroading the vibrations cause the shovel to rotate a bit. I think that the shorter D handle shovels are thicker and the quickfists will hold them better...
