Undercarriage Storage
Hey All, Quick question: I have a 1990 KIT Road Ranger Espre that I have been updating. I am wondering if y'all think it's advisable to attach a ceiling storage rack that one would find in someone...

It sounds like a good idea if it's done right.
I would use real bolts and nylock nuts with holes drilled in the flange of the I-beam. If you have a channel beam place a metal strap (home made U bolt) over the channel.
I have lost a stinky hose holder and hose when self-taping screws came out on a bumpy road.
If you drill into a I-beam, do not drill the flange.
What nonsense is this? A few holes isn't going to weaken an I beam, especially once filled with a bolt. Connecting through the flange is a standard part of steel beam construction.
With all the holes the manufacturers put in the flange a couple more won't hurt.
