DIY Rotopak tailgate mount
So I came across a Rotopak gas can and didn't know where to put it.
Got some square tube and plate, had an idea and this is my 80% solution.

Removed the tail gate bolts and lined up the square tube.

Tube inserted and centered, bolted in.

Plate held in place (temp) with self taping screws (will weld in once I can get to brut4ce)

Fit check, all functions well. Not rattle and no corner inference.
I think I'll weld a center cross piece between the tow support tubes to eliminate flex or movement while on the rocks.
I plan on having Travis weld the plate to the square tube since he could weld under water with his eyes closed.
Over all pretty happy with it, now I just need to find a fancy Rotopak locking thing.
