Replaced the rear bumper with a swingout. Now to find something unique to do with the mounting holes in the tailgate. Considering fabricating a CB antenna mount or some sort of modular rack system. Any other slick ideas out there?
 
I just popped these in on my kid's when we did his swing out.

Sure, I already considered just plugging them off. I was looking for something else. Something different. Just fishing for ideas.
 
I suppose you could use the holes for a CB antenna mount, that's probably what I would do.

I made a mount for my dune antenna, nothing special off the top holes, just a piece of angle and just put the bolts back in the bottom. Best pic I have, before the LED buggy whip

The two gallon Rotopax is: 18.5"L x 13.5"W x 3"H. The four gallon is 34-1/2 L x 13-1/4 W x 3 H". 3" is pretty slim but that doesn't include the mount.
