CO2 mount pics and cargo box

I got a sweet CO2 10lb tank from formattfab, I am lovin it. Got it mounted up to the top of my cargo box. The box itself has two huge "L" brackets at rear of box that BOLT thru the floor (no self tappers) and big lag bolts into the box. The front of box is cut on angle to match back of seat (never wheel with seat back down). Then the tank holder is bolted to flat stock that is Lagged to side of box (thru 2x6) and goes to seatbelt bolt/mount. To mount to the seatbelt mount, I just took bolt out, and there is a spacer, I ground it down by the thickness of the steel then rebolt. The CO2 mount itself is also screwed down to top of box with 5 screws to the plywood. confusing, just look at pics.

Here is pics of the CO2 mount.

Hope this can help someone. If so, let me know, I can sure use the green points!

sorry, I thought it was that way. What if you paste into browser?

I have used them for a long time, used to be ok, they may have changed it.

Works fine for me, i didn't sign in, or up.

Looks nice, I like the box.

Worked just fine for me. Looks good.

Nice box, I like the way you did it. The table is a great idea. I just finished mine and was going to start a thread, but decided to add to your thread.

Here is mine, it is just a regular box with no slant in the front. Made it out of 1 4'x8' sheet of 3/4" High Density MDF. HEAVY. I was too cheap to use plywood. Figured if the MDF fails I can rebuild it in plywood. Ended up being 7 1/4" inches tall. I wanted to carpet it but haven't found beige carpet yet.


I see that we used the same latches: Sash latches with gold for the Bling. Used a L bracket on both slids and two in the front. (no lags here either) And then used Trap Door Handles for tie downs on top for my spare, cooler and any additional gear.


I ended up going with roller bearing slides with 24" of travel. Can hold 100lbs per pair. I think they need them when loaded with tools and spares. The only problem is that they won't stay open on any sort of incline. :rattle:


I don't have my CO2 mounted yet. Plan on the same mount as you but on the left where the spare used to go.

Dude, THAT is a nice cargo box! I love the slides. I was at lowes and they had the shorties for cheap.... wish I would of waited and ordered THOSE like you.

I got my carpet at Walmart for $7. It was in auto, by the floormats, bottom shelf, buried to the back. They had lots of colors I think.

I got my slides at Home Depot, but they are the same as the ones at Lowes. I paid $15 a pair. I will check Walmart for carpet. Tried the local fabric stores and all I could find was Pleather(fake leather) which would match my seats but everything would slid around.

it works for me, but in brings it up in a new window, if you have a pop-up killer that may be the problem.
