Pics would be nice. They're going in the tubed in portion of my truck in the back at an angle upwards. I don't need pics of them mounted in the back of beds and stuff. I just don't have a bed to do that in. Looking for other ideas. Thanks.

You can mount them however you want... You would just need a couple of cross peices to mount the clamps to. MD has one of the better set-ups, but they all pretty much look the same.

I can't find a reasonable price on those straps. Everyone has been quoting me $220/strap! I was planning on Booty-Fabbing something. Does anyone have a flaming deal on them?

Dude, I can get the straps (they come in pairs) all day long for $60. Tanks for $130.

hrm..

Go get a bunch of big diameter hose clamps at a diesel place, then rest the tanks btwn two tubes, and you can "piggyback" the hose clamps together to make some seriously long ass hose clamps, then clamp em down!

Booty fabulous!!

You want a 7 and a half gallon bomb, resting between a pair of pipes, attached with hose clamps?:eek:

Seriously though, if you can't find anything close to what I get them for I'd be glad to pick up a set or two and ship them to you;)

MD, what are your tanks resting on on the bottom there?

We ran some 1x1 square stock between the rails, then bolted the straps to those ;)

At the bottom of the strap assembly is an L section with mounting holes in them.

I just orderd two sets of straps for $38 a pair. I hope that they are decent. If you can wait a few days I'll shoot a pic of them when they get here, or you can send your brother over here to check them out. I was searching and just e-mailed a company out of the blue and now I can't remeber the site or the name of the company. But I do have their e-mail and phone #. The e-mail is [email protected] and the # is 847-526-1700 I talked to Todd. I'll try to see if I can find the site later.

edit: found the site http://www.hendrixsystems.com/

I put a 1/4" plate steel completely under my tank,,,I kept having visions of a broken driveshaft ripping a hole though it.
