Your original plans/ideas were perfect for me. I had left over wood and carpet - just enough to make two boxes (drawers). Added carpet to the inside of the drawers as well. So far the turnbuckles and weight of the system is perfect. After removing the drawers I can easily remove the frame by...
Good to know! I'll go there next. Close for me too. Blacks Tire and Auto in Apex has been good to me for years with my '90 80 series, then my '00 100 series and now my '13 200 series.
Started this weekend with some tweaks. Since the plywood was 4'x8' I added a bottom piece that will hopefully have drawers. The "slot system" should work I just need to find a way to secure the U bolt (1/4" bolt with the TNUTZ washer/nut). So for the moment I am using a 1/4' bolt and turnbuckle...
It'll most likely be simple like a tie down or a turnbuckle like others have done... however I ordered additional extrusions that should run the length of the base. If I can set a "screw" or nut in the 3rd row seat attachments the plan would be to line up then slide the frame in along the 2...
Perfect and exactly what I looking for! Thank you so much... its what makes this forum so cool. I may tweak the height to match the height of the 2nd row when it is collapsed to add an extension in the future. I'll document and post when its done.
Do you mind replying with the dimensions, sizes, how many, what parts, etc... essentially the plans... you ordered from tnutz? Think Im getting ready to do the same. Thanks so much! I'll post any "tweaks" if I do any. Happy Thanksgiving
I do both SUP and SUPsurf (and bike... ). I have the hitch safe and it works fine. No issues with the key being in close proximity and being able to open the car. Even when I hide it in my go to spot in the suspension. My "old school" option was a realtor key box. Just as cheap and can hang it...
Very cool. Did you cut the frame or where you able to order the sizes you needed directly from TNUTZ? Also, ever consider adding drawers instead of bins using the same frame? Just curios. Love to see more pics... This may be just what I need but at a little higher height to match the 2nd row...
Awesome! That was my initial idea... custom make a drawer system using the mat as a template. I may try this. You actually did something very similar to what I did. 2013 LC. Added ARB BP-51 suspension (kept stock wheels), ARB compressor under the hood, Slee sliders, Frontrunner roof rack, Road...
My current “system”. Holds my recovery gear, hose for the ARB compressor, tools, rack straps and surf gear, first aid, etc. Drawers would be awesome and clean. Plus a flat deck top would be better too. Thanks for all the info and help! Glad I’m on this site now.
