    What if I make a bracket that uses the bolts holding the seat in the back! I am a genius.

    I just used sheet metal screws and fender washers under bracket.

    I did have to make a spacer out of aluminum tube because the front part of the base is about 1" off. I'll take a picture if you need.

    Only suggestion I can give if you plan on going this route is to be careful when drilling for the holes. The insulation under the carpet can be a bitch when it gets twisted around the drill bit lol. Ask me how fun that one was.

    I learned awhile ago... if drilling through carpet or the likes, always cut away the spot with a blade first.

    Finally mounted up the the rest of the Quick Fists on the bed rack (and actually swapped out all the hardware on the previously mounted ones to do it right)

    Then thoroughly douched my garage to get rid of all the primer/paint/Bed Armor over spray so I can Ol' Red can pull into his home after weeks of suffering outside.
