Asking $50 shipped for the pair. They go for around $36 a piece new.

I have a set of custom modified (by yours truly) rotopax bed rail mounts. They will not come with the rotopax mount itself but just the 2 plates. I modified them to sit flush on the head rail of the bed.

In these pictures you can see how they sit before trimming.

It sits proud of the rail, causing them to sit at an angle. So I trimmed them to sit flush.

I will also include new hardware that is better than the provided hardware.

I am super tempted to jump on these, looks like you did great work on the mod and the new hardware looks awesome. Why are you selling, if you don't mind me asking?

Lol well I wouldn’t say it’s my best, it works really good though. Not overall the most beautiful. I stopped using them because I mounted it to my RCI rack, having it there with my custom tonneau cover doesn’t work well for accessing it. This is the only reason for not using them.

My old setup

Now you can see why I stopped using them.

Thanks for all the details, I definitely dig it. I don't even have rotopax, but I've been meaning to pick up some of the new fuelpax and if I understand it correctly they use the same mounting interface so these should work beautifully.

Let me talk to the accountant aka my wife and I'll get back to you. (y)
