    My new mounting hardware will have the capability to alternate from the front rail to the sides as you please. Shoot me a pm if you are interested in getting one!

    as of right now, I just have the vertical mount, but have plans to make a rack that ties into the large bolts in the bed. I just need to get some time to play around with the design a bit

    Do you have any that could be mounted flat in the bed with more support at the base? Some of us don't like the BRAAAAAAhhh'ed out look.

    I thought the magnetic koozie would be a nice touch! I love the hell out of mine.

    I havent come up with a design to mount the the bed, buuut if there is interest I can come up with a design that uses the torx screws at the front of the bed to secure a mount to the bed. Would you want a slight angle or a flat mount?

    Great service and a great product! Has held up strong after about 500 miles of use. Not loose at all. No vibrations or wobbling. I highly recommend this thing!

    So now I wanna use wheel studs and lug nuts instead of nuts and bolts to hold the tire, because I'll be in situations, where I won't have tools to loosen it up, but I'll have my tire iron since I have room for it so anyone have any suggestions? If not I'll be fingering it out this week some time

    I've kinda been considering doing that also. I have been searching for a good place to find wheel studs. Let me know what you find! Also, what size are the typical studs for the taco? Or if you're worried about having the tools on hand, just pick up a cheap $3 crescent wrench from the hardware store and keep it in the glove box. :)

    Really nice pics CG! Mind if I use them on my website?

    A few bolts are different.
    This is utterly amazing. I have never seen so many wheel weights.

    Here are a couple of pics of a primed rack with the studs mounted. These studs are the same size as the stock studs and work with the lug nuts. Let me know what you think!
