I think this is an older video. The BuiltRight mounting plate (rather than the black RotoPax plate) uses the thin slots instead of the bigger squares with washers (as shown). I tried to use the bigger squares with washers and that was a S*it show. I enjoy the BuiltRight gear. Thanks Matt.
Good catch! I think we switched from carriage hardware to flanged bolts in this video to ease installation but later learned that it should really only be carriage bolts, which is what we recommend now, despite the added install time. The real solution is to use the adapter bracket that we now offer. On our site, part number 104009.
My neighbor mounted his the exact same way and I hit it with my hand, the the mount moved and the washer came off. Why would you make the holes so big?
The rectangular holes in our panels are made to meet military standard MOLLE spacing. The issue is with the odd spacing of the holes in the rotopax bracket. That being said, this video is outdated and we now make a replacement mounting bracket for the rotopax can with a standard 2in hole spacing to meet our slots. Your neighbor should be able to re-check his installation, though. We've had trucks running without issue in Baja with cans mounted the way this video shows. Perhaps something was left loose or something.
Unfortunately not - the rotopax cans are too large to fit in that space on a shortbed truck. I can't speak to the space on a long bed, but there's a chance.
Wish you would have shown us how to mount the plate onto the pax mount itself. You skipped that part. Sounds silly she probably obvious to the average dude but I am utterly lost with what to do with a bag of nuts, bolts, washers and so on…
Just a quick guess but.. Aren't those bolt heads designed to go into the narrow slots of the rack from the back side so you only need to turn the nuts on the front side? Sorry in advance if I'm off the point. Cool installation nonetheless.
That's correct, BUT, in this case, the resulting nut/bolt would be pressed tightly against the can, causing wear and eventual failure, so we flip them around.
Hi Philip, we're in the process of moving this week and are working on transferring phone numbers and such. We'll be available again next week! I apologize for the delay!
BuiltRight Industries thank you for such a speedy reply. I will call again as I need some assistance in some of your product details. I hope your move goes smoothly.
M. Forest Shipps Thanks! The rear lower tie down is still plenty accessible actually. Your strap may touch the fuel pack depending on what you're tying down, though. I've since shifted the can slightly forward of this mounting point for that exact reason!
2:40 Are you going to explain how these flat bolts turned into nuts ? What am I missing?

In one screen it shows the flat head facing out and the next screen it shows larger washers and the bolt facing out. What’s going on?

@@BuiltRightInd Why even upload this video if it’s wrong. Very deceptive and misleading

How did you attach the the rotopax mount to the mounting plate that it came with ?
Why don't these truck aftermarket place make Mulle racks for Honda Ridgeline's.....
What is the height and width dimension of the Bedside Racks. Lets say passenger side? I would like to install this in my 2018 Toyota Tundra
Hello! Does the Rotopax mount also fit on either of the smaller racks towards the back of the truck bed?
Unfortunately not - the rotopax cans are too large to fit in that space on a shortbed truck. I can't speak to the space on a long bed, but there's a chance.
Do u have a bedside rack for Chevy?
Watched and then discovered no RAM products. 😞

I love to call you guys but you don’t answer your phones

Cool accessory, but it blocks the tie down. Love your racks!

This is Really Bad.
Thanks Bob!
