Wilco Hitchgate Solo

Finally got the dual Rotopax mount completed.

 

I also had Rotopax send me 2 matching locks and keys to make things easier.

 

That looks great

 

More pics of the mount with the tire off.

 

Do you have any pictures of the clearance between the gas cans and the tailgate? Also curious if you have any pictures what part of the gate it bolts onto?

 

Stand by

 

Will do! Thank you sir!

 

More pics

 

3 gallon cans will fit no problem

 

Thanks again @Unchained 5150 ! Just what i wanted to see.. definitely need this now lol..

 

Get er dun

 

looks good and there is some flexibility on moving the mount forward/backward on the Hitchgate. The only issue that concerns me is security as someone can steal the mount, your Rotopax(s) and the Rotopax mount. The only thing that I can think of is making using the button cap security torx bolts to slow them down?

It one thing to lose a cheap gas can, but two 3 gal Rotopaxes and locking mounts is some serious cash.

 

Agreed can you link some options

 

Just so you peeps know this mount that comes with the lockable Rotopax Mount. Does not line up to the grooves on the double Rotopax can holder

 

Did you just drill a couple holes in it that would line up with the bracket? Or how did you solve this problem.. im also looking into some lockable pack mounts

 

For metric, I purchased the tamper pruf button cap torx security bolts from Bel-Metric for my Prinsu Rack.

They also have shear nuts as well to consider. Also have great assortment of SS washer types.

For SAE or non-metric, I ordered from Grainger that carries the Tamper Pruf hardware.

 

You can use the actual locking mechanism that bolts to the grooves. You'll see when you get the lockable mounts.

 

In the pic you see a mount that the lockable part attaches to with 2 bolts from behind. You just don't use that plate mount and use the 2 bolts through the grooves into the lockable part.

 

Makes perfect sense, thanks again!

 

@ewxlt66 I know you don't work for the company anymore but can you still get any of those big Wilco Off Road stickers that go down the sides of the doors?
