80 series storage deck

For less than $150 I built this. Check out this thread https://forum.ih8mud.com/showthread.php?t=67230

 

I could get that together and post it up sometime this weekend. I had to build it 13" high because of a subwoofer box underneath it. I picked up various parts from ACE and Home Depot and the carpet from AutoZone. Check back for the measurements and list of materials.

 

Nope, couldn't make that happen with my sub-box in there. Its about 2-3 inches above the seats when they are down. I have a plan brewing for an extension and spacers to make it sit level.

 

OK material list

1 sheet 4'x8' 3/4" plywood. The main deck is 55" wide x 42" deep with the rear corners cut off to fit with the rear pillar. The uprights are 2ea 13"x36" and 1ea 12"x13" support for in the middle.
2ea L bracket 39" long. I used the 4 tie down hook points to mount these to the floor. I slit the carpet and layed the short side of the L bracket under the carpet. I had to get longer bolts and extra washers(for spacers under the bracket) to mount these to the floor.
I used 1/4" x 1" bolts and 1/4" x 5/16" tee nuts to secure the uprights to the L bracket. and 1/2" wood screws with some roofing V brackets to secure the deck to the uprights then some 1-1/2" thin wood screws thru the deck into the uprights.
6ea 1/4" u-bolts with 1-1/4" fender washers and teflon locknuts.
2 rolls of automotive repair carpet and some 3M multi-purpose adhesive spray and stapled underneath the edges.
The storage boxes I ordered from C&H Distributors. My work has an acct with them so I got them at a discount. They are HDPE with stainless hinges.

I wheeled the holy crap out of it yesterday and everything is holding together well. I did however pretty much trash that wind deflector on the back of the rig and almost tore off my firestix antenna. Seriously tight trail with a lot of LOW hanging trees.

 

YUP, no problem.
