    Hey guys so i had no idea where to put this because its just a few questions i have about various things i want to do and add to my truck

    first question: For the 2012+ BHLM, what sealant are you using? I've looked and there are mixed reviews of mixed products, and the 2005-2011 seem to use different sealants than the 2012+. So what sealant works the best? and where can it be found?

    Second & Third question: I recently went to harbor freight during their sale and picked up a floor jack and two 5gallon jerry cans.

    Floor Jack: Jerry Cans: What are y'all doing to mount this in the bed of your truck? for the floor jack it only seems to be this wheel replacement/mount… what mounts are you using for the floor jack? or did you create one? and if you created it, do you have a write up?

    And for the cans, i have a cover on my bed, so they have to lay on their side instead of upright

    Hey man so I ran into a speed bump with your design I thought I'd get your input.

    I have to mount the cans on their side (called manufacture and told me only fill 80% for safety)

    I was wondering if you have any ideas of how to stop the cans moving vertically. I can wrap the strap around to hold it to the back of the bed, but can't think of vertical movement

    So I also got a steal on these jerry cans from HF I went to their tow section and bought some d rings and mounted them on the side panels of my bed towards the tail gate for easy access due to my campershell.

    Four d rings for each side to side then over the top. I got some 12-14in bungee cords to strap them down and perfect tool it wheeling and they were great no moving no rattling.
