new DIY mount for 4 TRED track setup

[paranoid56]

Didnt like how the mount you buy from them only holds two, so went out and made this.

started out with making some plates, and some stainless bolts


then do a quick weld on the bolt heads


mounted it up to my rack. you might notice that one is not a bolt. I cut up a BOLT lock (uses your factory key) so it makes it a quick an easy to unlock.


and the BOLT lock


Then all mounted up


and for the nuts, i got some stainless nuts and some stainless rod and weld it up so i could easily take it on and off.

I like the idea of using the BOLT. Around here I have trouble with threaded devices. I end up getting galled or striped threads from sand and road grit getting into the threads. Shame there does not appear to be enough room to just use quick release locking pins or as some call them "tractor pins".

you could easily make that though, (and be cheaper then bolts lol) just use solid SS rod and drill a hole for the quick release.

True
I don't think there is enough room down in there to get a pin in the rods. I would have to make them longer. I would use a two plates across the top and probably rubber lined then use the pins on top of the plate.
