Do a Google image search on Lippert frames, they tend to be pretty lightly built, falling apart, cracking, broken welds etc.
Lippert frame failures
I'd be very leery hanging any additional weight of the back of a Lippert frame.

OK cool thanks. Looking at those pics in your link, looks like all those are box style frame rails. Mine uses I Beam style frame front to back.

I wouldn't call that Lipper thing an "I Beam", I'd call it 1/8" sheet metal bent to the shape of and I beam.
They crack, especially over the spring hangers, mine is cracking over the middle hanger.
Do some more searches, have a look:
I-BEAM?
Check out the A-frame just falling off on page 3
Lippert 2
Mine's like this one:
cracks at hangers
another one
more
Get your welding bud to check the frame above the hangers and pretty much the whole thing while you're working on it.

I changed out the original Audiovox am/fm cassette for a Pioneer am/fm CD. There was a considerable size difference in the hole so I decided to use a Lexan panel to mount the new DIN unit. I painted the back of it with some Krylon Hammered effect paint that I already had. I also wanted to use the Aux input on this Pioneer unit for TV sound as well as for my iPod so I used a brush-type cable plate.
You have to be very careful cutting the lexan out. I butchered the first piece so I had to go back to Home Depot and shell out a whole 'nother $3.99 for another 8x10 piece.
Cheap mod and it sounds REALLY nice. Next mod, change out speakers!

So I didn't want to screw in the toilet paper holder into the wall. Having the roll just sitting on the bathroom counter didn't work plus the kids would get it wet from the sink. There wasn't deep enough wood on the door to fasten it so I put the holder on 3/8 in section of Bamboo flooring I had the used liquid nails to hold it.
Out of sight and cant get wet or ripped off the wall by crazy kids.

Brilliant!
I have three sample pieces of flooring at home and I'm sure one will pretty closely match the cabinet color so I'm stealing this idea. Been looking for a solution and knew the roll on the counter was going to waste more TP than we used with the water splashing on it.
