ARCHIVE made a tail gate storage

[NLXTACY]

They let you roll around legally with shotguns in California?

Dude of course. It just can't be loaded and ammo needs to be separately stored. Hell you can open carry in CA now so long as it's not loaded but that's for the asshats.

Sure as long and it is disassembled and the ammo is in a separate car and both are locked in individual cases in different time zones.

Hmm, wrong state.

That's just silly and pointless to do. Your right about the asshats on that one. Better off having a baseball to throw if needed.

Thanks socal...the artwork looks great and will be installing the lid in the next couple of days!! thanks for the discount and appreciate the detailed instructions on how to put it on! Now just to go and buy a jigsaw....how much are those things anyways? just feeling a little antsy about cutting up my truck! I guess i have to work up the courage to do so cutting...keep you guys posted on the install!

@oilbrnr, you would be shocked what you can fit in the lid. I think it's a great cost to benefit in my opinion. I want drawers as well but for different reasons. Here's what is in mine...

Tailgate contents
- crowbar
- SC wrench
- spare hoses and clamps
- tire repair kit
- spare belts
- bailing wire
- gerber axe
- air chucks/tools
- ARB air gauge/chuck
- SOG shovel
- Benchmade fixed blade knife
- Jumper cables
- 1/2" breaker bar
- 3/8" torque wrench
- 4 ratchet straps
- 2 bungee cords
- air hose

1/2" breaker bar? what are you breaking into that requires a breaker bar that large? even autozone does not rent out 1/2" breaker bars!

 

[jtwopark]

Asshats is that a good word for cops? what ever happen to PIG? or popo?

You are welcome, enjoy your new toy. Not sure how much a jigsaw cost, I bought a Bosch about 12 years ago and its still kicking. Don't feel too bad about cutting it up, you will feel way better after you put it on.

 

[jtwopark]

just an idea, but i will polish up the lid and clearcoat the lid...i think it will stand up to the task...lets see if I can get it as shiny as danny devito's forehead!

 

[socallove]

I think he's referring to the asshats that open carry their unloaded pistols around town just BC they can. They are more like an annoying dog that won't stop barking....

I've broken two 3/8" breaker bars over the years so I moved up because I don't want it breaking on me in the middle of nowhere.

Its really not so bad. So long as you have a good template to work from it should be quick and clean. Make sure you debur the edges and prime the fresh cut steel.

 

[jtwopark]

primer....have to pick up some white primer..don't want to prime it gray! couldn't resist so i pulled the carpet off the tailgate and lined up the frame....WOW! fitment is perfect!!!!!

 

[socallove]

Hmm perhaps diamond plated would be good for this.

Diamond plate would suck the very first time you put your knee on it.

 

[socallove]

Shouldn't your knees be used to it by now?

Its all to keep you cool, don't want you overheating before you come up for air.

 

[Teebo]

[socallove]
