Curious about the side mounting as well. Kinda doubt anything of substantial weight can be mounted. I just put my rack with extra crossbar on day before yesterday and am on the road the next couple of days. I’ll be mounting a Plano case, traction boards, maybe hi-lift in the coming days. 3/4” carriage bolts drop in and fit perfectly in the rails. I’ll be using varying length bolts, washers and nuts to mount stuff.Thanks for all this info, I left on a trip the day after, so wasn't able to monitor this, some great solutions here!
Has anyone mounted anything to the slanted sides of the FE rack? The stock holes/slots look like they were designed for something specific, and yet I'm a bit wary of how much weight the flimsy-ish slanted metal can hold. Thinking about trying to mount the Kammok mount ball on the side.
Also, has anyone discovered a solution for a Hi-Lift Jack?
