Bringing this tread back for info.

I have been riding along with my drawers for almost a year and just now went to build the side wings thing is I went and ordered the wrong hinges! :bang:

I looked back and want to get the same kind as the ones in your build (post #76), they sit nice and flush and of course have the correct opening/closing angle! (I got 110 degrees full overlay)

Could you steer me in the right direction? Thanks

Thanks! I used a full gallon, none left over. I could have used a bit more. The finishing was way more $$$ than I had hoped, but it came out great. I'm really glad I didn't use carpet. I was told I could also use an oil based poly, but I actually wanted to test chassis saver anyways.

I add my kudos to you on a project well done! You've got a number of great ideas worth borrowing when I get around to doing some woodworking for my JKUR.

Some questions if you don't mind:

1. Why did you paint the wood (silver) before applying the Monstaliner?
2. The yellow tabs on the drawer slides - are they a locking release that needs to be depressed to allow the drawer to slide out?
3. Electrical (my weakness) - Did you run a heavy duty cable to the back to supply juice to your inverter and other accessories? Anything more you can share about the basic layout of the electrical? (Not sure I can read a schematic if you post it but I'll try if you do).

Thanks for sharing!

Hi Dan,
Sorry for the delay. I haven't been on MUD in a while. To answer your Q's:

1. The wood needs a "primer" coat. Per Monstaliner it should be a urethane or their chassis saver. I used the much more expensive chassis saver for 2 reasons. I wasn't planning to put the Monstaliner on all surfaces (such as under the drawers), and it is a very bad idea to coat only one side of a panel. It will warp badly. Also, I wanted to try the chassis saver for some other projects.
2. Yup. The slides lock in, out, and half way out.
3. Yes, I ran a set of #4 cables from the aux battery to a Blue Sea fuse box in the rear cubby. Disclaimer: I am not an electrician! I totally hacked my way through this and other jobs with some help from friends. That said, I will put up a schematic I made for myself. It's not a proper schematic, just a sketch to remind myself how I was going to move forward. Use it at your own risk!

edit - I keep getting an error trying to upload the file. Shoot me an email and I'll send it to you. info@trekboxx.com
