Milwaukee tools has developed a interlocking system to attach/secure toolboxes and things. It's a pretty neat system to keep things organized. Some companies are making panels kinda like molle panels to attach those boxes to their rig.
If you Google it or go to the section in home Depot you'll see what I'm talking about.
What I'm purposing is making mounts that use that system for the 80 series.
Thanks Matt,
looking forward to what you develop.

Mean while, I finalized the limit linkage. I will write up instructions tomorrow morning. If you ordered a retrofit they will ship out tomorrow.
Also, I started playing with ideas for the "wings" corner armor.

Update!
Installation instructions have been added to the website. The swingout installation instructions have also been updated to include the Limit Linkage.
You can see them here
To everyone that ordered the retrofit let me know how it works out for you!

What about a mount on the quarter panel? Would be much trickier, but it is somewhere most of us aren't utilizing space enough. Just spitballing here, there might not be enough space for the packouts. I added pictures of some other products that are similar to get an idea of what can be done with the quarter panel of an 80 and also pictures of a truck bed to show how they are mounting Milwaukee Packout's horizontally

The bottom two pics are of the wits end mount.

I'd be interested in Milwaukee pack out stuff.
Hey there Matt, I am about to purchase the TCAM but I am concerned about weight. Say if I add accessories to the TCAM, will it be too heavy if I'm running a 37 inch tire. I know the max limit for the tire carrier is 37's for width, but what about weight? Your product is pretty hefty but I wouldn't want to over load it.

We have not determined what the maximum load and failure of the system would be. The ability to pinpoint the failure numbers for dynamic, static and cyclical loading is beyond our current capability.
While our products are designed and constructed to be tough and capable... Each user is responsible for using good judgment and common sense in their particular installation and should be comfortable with their choices in using the TCAM and tire carrier.

Wanted to share an idea a customer had on locating the spindle on the plastic. Not sure what his name is on MUD but maybe he'll chime in.
He installed the frame mount, then aligned a plumb bob to the center of the spindle. Remove the frame mount and reinstalled the bumper and boom! You can mark the location for the hole needed in the plastic. GREAT IDEA!

This was a concern as mine as well. I have the TCAM installed on mine and had hung a 4.5 gallon fuelpax to it. There is minor wiggling coming from the carrier, with my 34” tire mounted. Not enough wiggle to worry me, but then again, I had not filled my fuelpax completely to 4.5 gallons. And if anyone has any experience with extra fuel, you know 4.5 gallons is HEAVY. I chose to err on the side of caution. Will be using my TCAM for other options besides fuel.
