I made it out of wood. measured it all out and cut it up. then put the camo cover on it and wall-la! finished. to attache it to the tire mount i just cut a slit in the back side of the wood and put zip ties to the mount that went through the wood and around a bolt that it clamped down to. might sound hard but its very simple. if u want the wood measurement lemme know might save ya some time.

I had a lot of other damage and things that need to be addressed first. To fix it I will either get some rubber plugs or hammer the holes back together and do a couple of spot welds.

The guy who installed the 3 power plugs should have this sign, its a german tank sign warning of high electricity! sorry I didnt remember your name

I would love to see some pics of your interior Rhino liner mod if you can.

Thank you
