    Have you reached out to them to see if they have a warranty?

    Weekend came and went, and sadly I didn't have a chance to use my winch (and a new fancy setup) during a recovery. Best I could've done was testing during re-spooling.
    Thanks again Jay

    @Chux how did you mount the maxxtraxx to the side or your topper? I tried scrolling through the pages, but I must keep missing it? I had rotator cuff surgery and doing everything with non-dominant is slowing me down lol.

    Should change the name of this thread to Garage Build

    Finished up a coat rack idea last night. 3/4 black pipe, some winch hooks laying around the garage, and used a piece of lumber I saved from my wife’s grandfathers garage in Maryland.

    Bought a HF 30” bender to test out on making some 16g floating shelves for the garage. The bender max rating is 17/18g steel or 16g aluminum.. so I added relief cuts at the bends.

    Blue prints of added shelves to the Husky cabinets



    Bender



    Center shelves




    Outside shelves




    Cleaned up the garage for a little Halloween party.



    Mommas and babies in the house dads in the garage..

    Thanx to @Wheelspinner for stopping by helping with the slabs!
    Dropped this pine in my yard two summers ago, plan is to make a live edge frame for a 4’x6’ mirror in my wife’s yoga room.
