Does the top of the side rack sit level? Almost looks like it slopes down toward the center of the vehicle.

The racks are level, but it is hard to show that in a picture. If you have a soft top, or are topless, then the bracket that goes from the j-rail will sit flush with the MPAC rack. With the hard top there it sits about 1/4" above the rack.

No problem. I don't think I mentioned it, but Doc is also starting to do some of the tear away bags like his stat pack. It has vecro on the back of the bag, and another mount on the rack that has velcro. All you need to do to remove them is undo one buckle and tear. Probably one of the most useful things I have seen. I am going to move my bags around a bit and put these on the seat rack so when I fold the seats down the bags will come off easilly.

Default How much?

How much? Any specials on a front and back combo. What about a triple combo for the slide rack, straddle, and rack that goes on the back seat? That front straddle would be sweet for my blade tech holster.

I am running a Nikkon D5000 in about the 10 megapixel mode. I think on these I used my 18-35mm zoom lens.

I haven't had a chance to get the tank filled yet. It will probably be about a week or two before I get some time to get around to it.

LittleJon, do you mind describing or adding photo of how you mounted the Powertank rack? Did you drill thru the MPAC rack or use the slots? Thanks!

I ended up positioning the bracket for the Powertank on the MPAC rack by just using 4 grad 8, 1/4" bolts that I had extras of from my bumper install. I am sure it is a bit of overkill, but it is what I had on hand so better to overkill it than not secure it enough. There was no drilling or cutting involved.
