Love seeing these show up!

You shouldn't have any trouble at all, my only recommendation would be to mount the air tank as close as you can to one side or the other, to take advantage of the support that the tie down mounting points provide. I've got guys sending their Raptors pretty good with powertanks mounted. I've even seen floor jacks, but I don't know if that's a supported use.@BuiltRight
I have to admit I didn’t read all 16 pages.
But I would be in for the whole set
It would need to be strong enough to hold my 20# homemade powertank.
Here is a pic for reference, not a representation of where exactly I want to store items
Some other items I carry, are a full length shovel, battery powered chainsaw, an ax etc
Haha, add it to the pile!
Haha, you could find somebody with a laser to etch your desired logo into the cover! I haven't tried a 3gal, but I've got a few here and will set one in there today to confirm.
AWESOME writeup with pictures! We had a hiccup with our install guide and video, but it should be up today. You nailed it on everything though. Just missing those two bigger channel nuts it sounds like. Contact me if you don't find them (203-546-8981).I've installed the kit on both sides. I must say the panels feel nice and sturdy, and installed wasn't too difficult except for one minor hiccup with the final bolts.
The kit shipped with 3 sets of screw/bolt/washer sets.
The T-slot nuts:
The bottom bumpers:
And, the rear bolts:
I found it was easiest to install the panels by barely threading the T-slot nuts onto the bolt, washer, and panel. Also, installing the bumpers on the bottom at this time as well:
Next, I lifted the T-slot into the trail rail at 45-60 degree angle to get the top edge in, and then pushed it up and over to seat the T-slot in the rail:
And then, I used a 10mm socket and tightened the T-slot bolts down. Finished shot:
Now, for the hiccup. I didn't have anything to have the large bolts to bite into on the bottom of the panel. I'm awaiting to find out if this is due to missing hardware or if my bed was altered when they added the bedliner. Panels still seem fairly secure, but I think the extra mount point is still needed.
They look great, and I might be adding a few more goodies here soon to them!
Yep, should have two of those in the same bag as the bolts and spacers. If not, shoot me an email or give me a call and I can send you some or help you find them locally.your bag should have had 2 big ones of these,
call Matt if you can't find em., From his install email he said, bolt-metal washer-panel-plastic spacer- box-big nut and if you don't have 2 hands use some masking tape to tape the nut to the bed then lightly thread it in.
Just the sides I'm thinking, but fronts will ship middle of next week!Whoo hoo! Look what showed up today. Front and side racks!
Now I just need to wait until the 30th to pick up my JT to put these on. Adding these to the accessory pile.
