    We are doing more prototyping this weekend with a goal to have each side be a single angled piece without the need for a separate angled bracket as shown in earlier pictures.

    Thats the plan. They will be pretty stout, enough to support about anything you would want to mount in between your legs:rofl:

    With any luck we will be ready to ship a final non-Seat Jacker panel in early January.

    Uh oh! Just showed. Depending on what time I get home tomorrow I'll try and get it in and document the joy.

    What's the benefit to three pieces vs one?

    I couldn't resist. Went ahead and threw it on. Pieces look nicely cut. The hardware is nice as well. This is something I find a lot of folks cheap out on. Big per peeves of mine to get a nicely made piece and crap hardware. Powder coat on this has a couple of small flubs, but realize that my standards for powder are high because I used to work at a shop that restored multi-million dollar art sculptures among a ton of priceless items. I won't see any of them anyway.

    Install is idiot-proof. Six phillips screws to attach the three parts together and four button head hex bolts to attach to the seat jackers. For the bolts I would recommend a ball-head for the bolts closest to the transmission tunnel. They're 6mm. And that's it. Attach your stuff.

    I attached a flashlight and multi-tool because they were handy. I have to think of a few other items to attach. I used four small Velcro straps run through the belt loops on the nylon sheaths.

    One thing I liked, but didn't realize is that there's room on the backside of the plate to attach items. I could probably flip what I have on there to the other side and use the entire front for a larger item. I'm going to play around with it tomorrow.

    The pictures are a little crappy. It's dark out, so I did the best I could. I'll take more tomorrow.

    All in all, it's a great little way to store some smaller items you'd like to have out of the way, but close at hand. I'm sold on it.

    If anyone has more questions, ask away.

    One piece vs modular, the original prototype was one piece, we went to three piece for few reasons, aesthetics, reduced shipping cost (one piece would cost almost $10 more), and machine time on future non Seat Jackers boards (again probably $10 savings).

    Hell yeah, thanks for the feedback. I hadn't thought about mounting things to the back but you're total right, plenty of room back there for smaller items like flashlights, knifes, multitools, etc.

    Thanks again for the pics and review, we are always looking to improve our designs, features, and finishes.

    I just double checked, the button head allens are 6mm, and yes defiantly need a ball-end allen wrench.

    You are 100% right! They are 6mm. 7mm was the last one I looked at. Correction to post made. Thanks, Steve!

    We switched gears on the front Multi-Mount Panel (MMP) decided to use brackets that mount on top of the seat frame. These do not require Seat Jackers to mount to the seat.

    The rears still slide under (one piece).

    Should have powder coated stock ready to ship in the next week or two tops.

    @adv_built on Instagram has a pretty slick setup on our MMP.



    New V2 honeycomb one piece design started selling last month.
