I was on a bronco forum, but I don't agree with what they do/say...and they are into broncos...

That said, most of you probably don't care either, but I started making a cool drawer system for the BII after work today. Spent a couple hours designing, measuring, and thinking. I came up with a pretty cool design. The BII is extremely short, so I took out the hack seats and carpet and only had 44 inches to work with.

My main goal was for it to be like the one in my old LC (able to store stuff, and sleep on). But the BII is like 27 feet shorter than an 80.

My final design incorporates (from the front seats, back) a 21 inch deep box that is hinged from the top, and I can reach while in the cockpit. Then the rest is two separate slide out drawers. but there will be an extra 24 inch top plate on the drawers that slides out the tailgate with collapsable legs. So all in all it will turn the usable 44 inches into, 68. Therefore on a nice night, I can sleep back there, just cant close the tailgate with my bed made.

Pics to come tomorrow after work. :cheers::hillbilly:
 
:clap: digging it. It may not directly apply to us but stuff like this is what spawns new ideas. That applies to us all. Thanks Ryan. :beer:

NP buddy. it's just cuz the LC guys are the coolest. lol. You had a cruiser and you are not cruiserless by choice. You'll have another one day. Until then you are just perfecting you're wheeling skills. If you can wheel that B2 then just think how awesome you'll be once you are in an 80 again. :beer:

And pics tonight or we're locking the thread. lmao.
 
haha

I'll have pictures up at some point tonight. I'm buying a house now, so the LC is the next purchase. Unless I flop the BII before I close the deal on this house...
 
The only thing I have left, is to somehow make a fold out extension to make it longer. (Long enough to sleep on).
