Bergs FJ Build: MPAC Storage

Well my MPAC storage system from SpringTail Solutions finally arrived today. Its been a long time coming, but Doc from Springtail has been an absolute champion getting everything sorted and now does shipping through UPS for his Aussie customers to avoid the earlier issues experienced.

From Springtail I ordered:

Installation

Installation couldn't be easier, Doc supplies all the details with the product, and has installation videos available on his website. But I'll do a quick run down of how its done.

First, remove the pre-existing hangers on the passenger side. These are just 10mm socket head bolts and come out pretty easily since its just a plastic hanger.
Bolt in the new billet blocks provided in the kit. The longer one goes to the rear. Use the provided 45mm allen key head bolts, no washers are required for this bit.
Install the rack onto the billet blocks using the short allen key bolts and small washers. Don't tighten these up to far as you'll need to remove them. Position everything so its even, then mark the plastic wheel arch through the holes in the bottom of the rack.
Remove the rack from the billet blocks and drill through the plastic using drill size specified in the instructions (think its 5mm).
Re-install the rack, leaving the bolts that terminate into the billet block reasonably loose. Drop the remaining long bolts through the holes you just drilled and tighten up using the provided nyloc nuts and washers.
Once the base bolts are tight; finish off the install by tightening the bolts into the billet block.
