Thank you!

I liked my JKURV box but it left a lot to be desired so I have been working on a 2.0 version! Very similar in design but more refined and looking to be able to produce them on a CNC machine. I have been terrible about taking pictures but it is almost finished and will take some shots when done...

I have been busy in the shop again! I made a 2 drawer JK box for a customer that likes to shoot sporting clays. The bottom drawer is made for his Over under shotgun case and 3 cases of shells. And the top is for gear. He runs a soft top with a duster so he wanted it to fit under the cover and be...

I had a chance to get to wire the back of the Jeep for power and lights! I used a Anderson plug that is direct to the battery with a 30Amp fuse. Then I added a light to the glass with a touch switch and another USB power point up in the sleeping area! then a couple LED strip lights in...

I counter sunk and glued the magnets into the drawers. And mounted the strikers on the back of the cabinet. I will have to get some miles on them to see if they will be strong enough but they seem to hold pretty well!

Yes you are correct! After much thought I ended up using magnets to keep the drawer shut. We will have to see how it works!

So here is what I came up with for weights. My old storage cabinet weighed 65 lbs not including the refrigerator or it’s slide. That was a cheap file cabinet and a piece of 1/2” plywood. I removed the rear seat, carpet, seat belts, bolts and misc stuff for a total of 124 lbs for a grand total...

I made a couple brackets to secure the front to the floor using studs for the back seat. I am still looking for an attachment point for the rear however it is very solid as is.

Final piece!

So what do ya think? This has been an idea rolling around In my head for a long time. It is kind of a prototype. I would love to hear your feed back as I am considering taking this to more of a business to build custom interiors for overland vehicles. I am planning of attending Easter Jeep...

I should have this finished by the end of the weekend. I will weigh everything and post my findings. I think that it will come in less than my old system+ the back seat and other stuff I removed.

The finish line is in sight!!! Still have to finish up the mid shelf today. Then time to work on a 12V panel for the camper side. I am thinking of using a small breaker panel from a boat, surprise surprise and a dual battery system. For now I m very pleased with how it has turned out!

I finally got chance to get back to the storage system. Not much to photograph, just a lot of sanding and epoxy resin... then more sanding and so on. should be finished with all the glass work today then time for final assembly!

Wow boat.man is rusty at fiberglass construction! It’s only been about 20 years sense I have worked with the stuff. I may dial back my plans a little bit. Everything is glued and screwed so fiberglass may be a bit of overkill ?. Super cool blood moon tonight!

Now just a little finish sanding then it’s time for some epoxy resin, fiberglass cloth along the edges and a finish coat! For now time to clean up, call it a day and have a beer!

I disassembled everything and glued it all together

Another long day in the shop! It doesn’t look like much but spent the day fitting the drawers, sanding, and cleaning up the edges.

I considered using a kreg jig and biscuit joints but I am planning on gluing the whole thing together then seal everything with epoxy resin and hitting all the corners with fiberglass cloth and a finish coat of resin. It will be water proof and very strong.
