One other thing to consider when using bed liner over epoxy over ply. The wood expands and contracts differently than the bedliner and can and will cause the bed liner to split over time. I made a box out of ply and sealed it with epoxy and a layer of Fiber glass cloth. I have noticed of late...

That is really, really, cool and well engineered. I will have to make a point to go to Salem and take a look at it in person one day soon. I have questions...

I made some storage boxes for the back of my Ranger. Nothing terribly fancy but they are pretty functional. Passenger side closed: Passenger side open: The drivers side box is identical to the passenger side one. The taller box in the middle has an 8" subwoofer in the bottom and an open...

I made a fold up box for a ground tent for my truck. It mounts on my ladder rack. This is a picture of the Mk1 Mod1. I am rebuilding it currently because the one pictured here was not tall enough to hold the tent and the mattress all folded up inside. Here here is one with the whole schmear...

Wow thanks. Excellent find.

That sounds like a very good idea.

Matt, That's pretty funny. after looking at the picture again I can kinda see it. The Blue one is my Dad's Tundra. My truck is just a wee Ranger. JRH, Cool I will have to go a googling now that I have confirmation that such a thing exists

Greetings, Since I was unable to find one for sale that would fit the bill for my particular want of a tool carrier that would mount to my truck rack. I made one. I welded up some 1 1/2" x 1/4" flat bar then drilled and tapped some holes for the quick clamps and the conduit clamps I used to hold...

Well for me, first, I like the idea of being able to drive to a place and not have to worry about clearing a place to put a tent, I just roll up fine a reasonably level spot to park and bada-bing I got a tent set up and ready to sleep in. Second I wanted to see if I could make one that worked...

Thanks every one, you humble me with your positive responses. I will try to answer some of the specific questions. spressomon: the tent takes a bit longer to deploy than a standard flipout RTT and there is a bit of junglegyming involved to set the tent bows. The tent itself is secured to the...

Not sure if this is the correct place for this... so mods pleas feel free to move it and chastise me :). I don't have a lot of pictures of it; but here are some pictures of the semi Ghetto RTT I made this summer. First some back ground. I have been lurking on this excellent forum for awhile now...

Well no pics yet I got busy this weekend and did not get any fab time in,.. at least not on my tool/hilift mounts but I will hopefully have some soonish. I got the clamps though and they look like they will do the trick. It all depends on whether or not I get my home made RTT finished. (I need...

I have a rack that is very similar to yours. I ordered some quick fist clamps from here http://www.sierraexpeditions.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=90 I have an idea for a shovel and axe mounting system using mostly off the shelf stuff from a home improvement big box store. I should have the...

Mine is a pretty standard rack from Kargomaster. I modified it some though:
