How to add/make MaxTrax MKII mount to MetalTech rear bumper

[r2m]

This is a real short and quick DIY to mount MaxTrax MKII's to the back of your MetalTech Lancer Rear Swing Out Bumper.
One of the nice things about this mount is the way it's oriented, it does not act like a big-ol' wind sock when on the highway!
First, you must have the dual jerry can mount. That's what the MaxTrax mount to.
Then all you need is some flat steel rod, stainless steel nuts and bolts and a can of flat black Rustoleum.
The first photo's below are just flat steel rod that I cut, bent and drilled some holes for 5/16" nuts and bolts.

The next photos below are of it bolted to the dual jerry can mounts on the bumper.

These last photo's are of the MaxTrax mounted.

As noted above, all fasteners are stainless steel and I used nylon insert/aircraft lock nuts for all the mounting bolts.
The rulers are just for reference if someone wants to tackle this themselves. If anyone is interested I can give more accurate dimensions of my cuts and the size of the fasteners, but I did this all in an afternoon just figuring it out along the way. It's not rocket science, but bending that top mount 90° took a big arse hammer and some good pounding to cold forge that to a 90 degree angle.

Just some more pic's of how it looks with the entire vehicle in the photo.
Note: You will never lose you rig in a parking lot again with this mount and that color Maxtrax!!

If I was giving something away, I'd say you were working me for some swag or something.
But since I have nothing to offer, I have to assume and accept this as a sincere compliment.
Thank you. (I'm blushing...)
