Playing around with Fusion 360 and generated a rendering to share what's coming down the pike.
These will be 0.125" aluminum, powder coated silver once finished. Completely CNC laser cut and CNC bent from my cad file. After I verify the fit with the first one made, I'll have more made to sell. This first one may fit perfectly but it will take a few weeks to have the shop make more. Proud to say these are designed and fabricated in Louisiana.
These mounts are ultralight and tough. We rode 2 days in Texas with the first two mounts I designed and had no problems. This mount is an iteration of the first design with the extended skirts front and rear to add vertical support at or near the center of the wide span, wider attachment points, and of course the talon logo purely for sexiness! These will bolt to the frame through the existing four outside cargo area bolts with new, longer flange bolts. A 1/4" extension will fit through the bolt access holes you see in the top of the mount.
This mount will hold 10" and 20" wide Packout boxes. The huge 22" wide XL Packout box will fit to the left or right side but you can't fit another 10" wide box on the side of it. The main reason I did not design this wider is that I have a Tusk cargo bed enclosure tailgate thing and after taking several measurements, I could not get the extra 1" width needed for 22" wide boxes. A lot of people have these tailgates so I figured I'd just limit my design to the smaller boxes and keep my tailgate.
Obviously other companies make these packout mounts. The main difference is that I use aluminum for considerable weight saving and corrosion resistance. I'm very happy with this design and I hope others will be also. Seeing my ideas come to life is personally very satisfying.
As of now these will sell for $200 plus shipping. I still have to figure the shipping package size and get some estimated costs to the east and west coast. As you can imagine, aluminum is not cheap, but steel isn't too far behind now. A steel design for RZR by another company sells for $189 so I'm not far off the mark.
