Latest Pics
well heres the latest pics. I had to cut off the rear spring hangers and put new ones on from ruffstuff, the kind with the integrated bushing, and wow, did that make a difference for the better, although i need the proper size bolts and nuts (not shown i pic). The frame for the box is done, i finished the rack that holds the eezi awn roof tent and fastened the roof tent to the roof.
So now i have to get some 3/4" marine ply and coat the underside and edges with something to seal it, then get some 1/2" ply and stick some aluminum diamond plate to it for the sides and front.
I am in the process of making a tailgate, so thats going to take a while for me to figure out, if anyone has a suggestion - throw it at me please. Also, i need to get my fenders so i can integrate them with side steps i want to build.
Finally, im making a lid for the box. The box will have a rigid post, prob 1 1/2" x 2 1/2" square tubing for the center brace from front of box to rear, then have 2 doors hinged in the center that lift up so you can acces the box from either side of the trailer. Planning on making it as water/dust proof as i can.
So far im happy with where its at, now i just want it done so i can start using it. Ive got a quick baja trip planned for the beginning of november, so that should be its first mini expedition.
