MARYLAND TACOMAS

Where'd you order the quick fists from? looks like i'll be needing a set for a new fire extinguisher mount. cheap plastic strap that came with teh extinguisher broke when I hit a pothole and it discharged in my bed. lol

 

just in case you didn't see my live post, don't clean that up with water our you'll turn the powder into a concrete like substance that will never come off.

and i reccomend you order one of these

$37 END OF ROAD 8 piece Quick Fist Clamp Mounting Kit - 90010

http://www.amazon.com/piece-Quick-F...&qid=1411520094&sr=8-1&keywords=quickfist+kit

to cover your current and future mounting needs

 

Just ordered them off Amazon

 

Yea thanks for the heads up. I was planning on using a broom and vacuum anyways, but now I'll make sure to get to it before it rains since it's under my toolbox too and I don't want it to cement the box to the bed.. Haha

One of my contractor buddies has a huge air compressor on his f350 so maybe I'll just blow it all out if I see him tomorrow.

 

Yeah, i found out the hard way. one night a while back someone broke into the bus lot that my dad works for and discharged the contents of the fire extinguishers all over the bus and into the AC vents and everything. bus company hosed it out and it turned into cement on them. even now there are still pieces of the stuff left and this happened over a year ago.

 

Standard powerless, but with a bare lock cylinder that will code to my ignition key when i insert it and rotate it back and forth a few times.

I'm going with a trifold and a pop&lock. Once the trifold is clamped and the tailgate is locked, only way to get in is to cut the vinyl cover.

 

Good on you Matt, thats what i'm working with. Wait till you see my finished shovel mounts....you'll shit.

 

Here is a preview, this picture was the final fab before tear down. Its also the last night i had a cap on my truck

Ignore the axe mount. Its getting redone.

 

Looks good sometimes I wish 1gens had the track mount system in them I have to drill holes to mount mine

 

Could always trade up


Another picture:

 

Not until the frame fades away to the point of no repair I start a welding class in 2 weeks so that may not happen may not be street worthy then but I see a sas'ed truggy in it's future

 

yeah, i was part of the cleanup crew for that... not only was solid chunks of the stuff left, but the first time we turned the AC back on, we almost choked to death on the cloud of dust that came out..... my dad also mentioned that he still gets the occasional puff of dust from the AC vents if he hits a bump, that should give you an idea of how much of a bitch that stuff is to clean up. IMO Co2 FTMFW

 

Not sure how that applies to quickfists but cool

 

ah shit, i got your post mixed up with another

 

got the most recent update from work. current plan is that i'll fly up to MD on the 3rd, and stay here for good hoping this plan holds.

once i get all of my stuff unpacked and set up, i can make you a metal quick release mount. a lot of off road race shops sell them, but i thought the $100+ pricetag was way too much, so i started making a simpler, cheaper, but equally as effective version.

mounted them on a couple of my racks, and can also build them to bolt right up to the bed rails with t-slot nuts.

 

almost looks like you know what your doing there Colin.

 

almost

 

Colin..... WANT.

To hang this: https://fireextinguisherdepot.com/f...her-5-lb-rechargeable-ul-rating-3a-40b-c.html

 

the bracket is universal fit. all you have to do it get the proper size host clamps to secure the extinguisher to the quick release portion.

found a better picture of the most recent one on my current rack


and here is what version 1.0 looked like a few years ago. so all you need are two hose clamps to secure it to the removable mount.

 

Just a heads up ...

Amazon will be charging state sales tax on Maryland residences beginning October 1st 2014.
