I've not pulled any carpet up, but how are the D-rings mounted, and could one of them be sacrificed without drilling any holes? Any suggestions / pics for D2's are welcome. Thanks, John F Oh, it is a 10lb 4wheelair tank with the mount   Chris Urquieta (Curquieta) New Member Username: Curquieta Post Number: 18 Registered: 12-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 02:36 pm:    I mounted 2 10 lb powertanks to the left storage bin. I placed a metal plate on the inside and bolted the holders throught the side of the bin into the plate. Works great, lasts a long time.   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 676 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 03:13 pm:    That's where I did it too, cept just one 10lb 4wheelair tank and I didn't go through the floor, just into the bin. Easy to take out and mount in the other truck that way too.   traveltoad (Traveltoad) Member Username: Traveltoad Post Number: 53 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 05:15 pm:    When you are mounting in in the storage bin, you are removing the vertical/outer panel of that bin right? Have any of you done this on an '03? Do I just pull? I can see where the clips are but I cannot see how to release them.   Michael Noe (Noee) Senior Member Username: Noee Post Number: 678 Registered: 03-2002 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 06:03 pm:    Not me. I left the bin panel, drilled four holes to match the mount. I mounted it near the back (door) close to the "strong" point of the bin panel.   John Friederich (Jfriedlvcmcom) Member Username: Jfriedlvcmcom Post Number: 43 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Thursday, June 26, 2003 - 07:23 pm:    I was a little concerned about the strength of the bin panel, but after examining it a little closer, it looks like it should be strong enough. 4 bolts with large backing washers or a light plate looks good. I'd like to incorporate a shallow stand for 2 Wedco cans (one gas, one water) which I currently bungy to one of the bin doors so all 3 are on one side - I'll have to have my welder neighbor make up something that will work, eh?

The vent area by the door, pull that off, reach around behind the plastic, you should feel a metal brace back there. Drill into that to bolt your powertank mount. If you need to "see" it, drop me an email. Ron   traveltoad (Traveltoad) Member Username: Traveltoad Post Number: 54 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, June 27, 2003 - 09:57 am:    Thanks Ron. I may take you up on that. I just put a rack on the truck so I'll have to wait a couple pay checks!   Brian D.

Everything I've purchased for my Disco breaks the bank!
