Here is my traction device...works excellent. The frame end is welded, and I fabbed a bracket to bolt to my shock mount. Actually, I replaced the shock stud with a 9/16 grade 8 bolt, and the rest of the hardware is 3/4". It doesn't interfere with rear suspension movement, at least not with my setup.

It's a 3 point hitch part from tractor supply, and the brackets are 1/4 " plate I had laying around. I will explain it better after work.

I made secondary use of my high jack lift laying behind my driver's seat. I bought a front fork bike mount from Dick's Sporting Goods for $25. Ran bolts through two of the many holes provided on the high jack lift, securing the fork mount, and allowing the lift to act as a giant foot/stabilizer once the bike was attached. Now I can transport my bike inside my vehicle, keeping it free from rain and other inclement weather when not in use. Keeps it perfectly upright and doesn't bounce around at all. I'm very pleased with the simplicity and efficiency of it.

Best solution I could come up with to the cup holder problem, looks the cleanest to. I made a "cup" out of some 3" SS tubing and inlayed it near the ebrake! Can only put it on that side due to the ducting on the other side.

i was going to try the console cupholder idea but i didnt want to have to buy a new hole saw because i didnt have the right size for the pvc i bought. I had like 3 of these cupholders lying around, they come with a hook on top so you can hook it on the window when out wheeling. i cut the top part off and ta-da! Also this weekend i folded in all the edges inside my front wheel wells and painted them. Came out very nice.
