NW WA Meet / BS Thread

i want to put a drawer or two in there, but with the steel its hard to do and be able to remove it. the cross bars i did front to rear bolt on. welding it all up would allow me to add more to include a drawer in there but id never be able to remove it with out cutting it out.

i might get a couple ARB drawers to put in. only bad thing, is they wouldnt be the full length of the bed but it would work.

 

Shock towers are welded

 

If you used wooden 1x8 or 2x8 going down, with roller bearings spaced 1 inch apart every 8 inches or so, then used 1" bar on the side of the drawer, the whole thing would still come apart, so long as you only attached the center removable bars to the wood

 

Yeah I had a plan with out using wood but do t like the way I would have to do it. That’s why I’m thinking of using arb drawers. Or just use some long flat totes that I can slide in and out.

 

I've been thinking a lot about how to do it without wood, and not being hella expensive and weighing a ton. If I come up with something I'll be sure and share it. I kinda just wing it usually

 

Woot! Go Jackets!

 

Build some out of plywood and 2x’s

 

We're trying to avoid wood. I just tore my wood one out. Enough water managed to egress to mold and warp the whole thing. While I do plan on plugging that problem, I'd like to just not have to worry about it at all. Plus steel is way stronger and more room for activities

 

How old was you wood one before it went to hell?

 

First person to guess what this is for and how I trimmed it wins Internet points

 

Spare tire mockup?

 

You're mocking the skinniest 37 and you used your fingernails to trim it while on a lathe.

 

37”* mock-up for clearancing my wheelwell...

and the way i did It was sketchy but i had A few beers so it seemed like a good idea

*it’s well over 37”, closer to 37.75” for all the clearancing

Looks like you tied a string to a nail with a skil saw?

 

string to a sharpie

and then freehanded with a chainsaw because i could Find a jigsaw

 

Hell yeah

 

Damn, that's some Texas Chainsaw Massacre level of skill, that circle looks like you could drive on it no problem.

 

I about died when I read chainsaw...lmfao.... and don’t worry about trying to measure for clearance cause it’s gonna hit everything.....lmao...

 

good thing he has a chainsaw to help trim the frame and fenders.
