    Default Springtailsolutions.com "backpack" hook *FEELER*

    Spoke with Doc over at Springtailsolutions.com about a design for a backpack hook setup for the 80, he is currently making them for the FJ crowd, he is interested in meeting my request and the request of several other 80 owners who have expressed similiar interest for this product. Depending on the interest, need at least 20 orders, he will start the production for the 80 series. Below is an example of the backpack hook.

    Link: http://forum.ih8mud.com/springtail-s...seat-back.html Specifically post #17.

    Does not pose safety hazard when you are in an accident and you head slaps back? Is it possible that you neck can come into contact with the leading edge of the bracket?

    Now hold on Viggen... looks like a handy place to drape a satchel charge or hang an AK next time you go driving though DC with the Taliban-mobile.

    Gentlemen-

    Respectfully, this is a "feeler" to gauge interest, appreciate the helpful criticism, but to help keep things simple just indicate if you are interested.
