[QUOTE="TEXAS MOTORWORX, post: 275592, member: 7274"] Hey Guys.... Here it is! I have attached a couple of the CAD renderings. This a 95% prototype in which we are completing our last test next weekend at the race. The tire shown is a 37/1350 and the jug is modeled to resemble a VP square 5 gallon jug. We are still discussing where to mount the jack and a few wrenches, and should have an decision by next week. The cage is made out of 2" 3/16th wall tubing aka strong sh*t:headbang:. Couple of things to note. -There is not actually any carbon fiber on the bed mounted receptacles, I made them a different color to differentiate the cage and the mounting hardware, and I just thought it looked cool. There are 4 receptacles that mount using the 4 forward most bed bolts. Those 2 rear most mounting tubes 1.5" in the rear, and the 2 front most tubes are 3" tall. When the cage is out, the receptacles will stay giving you full use of your bed. -We are currently using a bolt/nut combo to mount the cage into the receptacle but are looking into a "trailer pin" or pin and clip type fastener for quick removal of the cage. And yes we are planning on making 1 of them a locking pin so the removal doesn't become too easy. -The actual mounting of the tire has yet to be decided on. We are testing 1 center bolt with a Delrin plastic cone to help self center your wheel and not harm it. We are also testing the lugnut/stud mounting as well. I think this is enough of a teaser, and I am sure you will have your own specific questions. So FIRE AWAY. [/QUOTE]
