10-4! This will be a great solution for you!
Yep, that's been part of the plan all along! WIll be a 'separate' product, so that you can choose to buy/use or not as needed!
I think that'd a killer setup! THe Leitner stuff is great.
Sounds good! Yes, drilling sucks. I WILL NOT make a rack that requires drilling.
Noted!
Awesome! Thank you!
Awesome! I'm currently wrapping up what I hope is the final revision. I had a few internal struggles regarding occupying space on the rail vs. not and have been running FEA as well as real-world testing to make sure heavy loads stay in place and don't put the panel anywhere near stress failure. The way the Raptor guys beat the shit out of these things has provided a lot of insight into what areas are vulnerable depending on what's mounted to the panels. I'll save the goods for final release, but I think you'll all be very happy with the final product and our thorough design process!
I love the Idea of using the space behind the rear fenders to mount rotopax cans, that Is an awesome Idea, count Avnmech in!Count me in! I'm very interested in a product like this, even though I won't be getting a JT until sometime next year.
- I can see both use cases as being marketable, as not everyone will have the trail rail. Having both mounting options and several sizes of panels would be ideal.
- MaxTrax, ammo cans, 5 gal buckets, flashlights (thinking D cell Maglites), cargo tie downs, fishing rod holder
- Absolutely! Great place to store a 4 gal Rotopax, high lift, or an axe.
- Perhaps you could come up with something that makes use of the space outside the bed behind the rear fenders for mounting rotopax, like the wayout concept but not set into the body:
The other problem with a bumper mount is that it prevents you from driving with the tailgate open. So no larger loads or motorcycles etc. That's why I like a bed carry option I suggested.

As far as timing, I'll be sending a PM to those on the list with some additional details this week.
Lastly, a quick note to let you all know how sincerely grateful I am for your support and input! You've already made a huge impact in what the final product will look like and how it will work and install. It's been really helpful to hear in this thread, in others and through PMs how you see yourself using this product. I'll be showing my appreciation with a healthy discount and a special gift (TBD).
Cheers!
Matt
