Tools stay put and don't rattle at all. The red sheet of foam is 1/4" thick which only leaves ~1 1/2" for the tools. (Keep in mind, the drawers are not actually 2" deep, more like 1 3/4".) With the black 1/2" thick pad on top, there just isn't room for them to really move around. In fact, for...

Thanks, I've added a few more tools but I'm pretty much done. Don't want too many tools in there. Dehydrated beer, now THAT sounds like my kind of box stuffer!!

Yesterday, I started in on making the tool drawer side of my system. I bought a two color foam set and started fitting tools in, trying to put the tools I use the most towards the front. Still need to put in (more) screwdrivers, a sparkplug socket, a small box of spare fuses, etc. You can see...

Do you know how to post your Smugmug pictures here? If not, go to Smugmug and copy the direct link to the picture. Then, in your reply here, click on the "Insert Image" icon (3rd icon from the right in the toolbar above the reply text box, looks like a frame with a tree(?) in it). That will...

Wow, some very impressive platforms and drawer systems here. I sort of don't feel worthy, but mine was built for a specific purpose so I'll share anyways! :) We have two large Rhodesian Ridgebacks who travel with us, so I had certain design limitations/criteria. Meet Emmett and Freya, aka...

Can't wait to see where this ends up going!

Amazing pictures and cool report! I've passed through that area probably 50 times (Whitney, Mammoth, Kern River, etc.) but never stopped to explore. Sounds like I need to. Let me know if you ever want to show someone around the area. A few years ago we camped off 20 Mule Team to ride out to...

Loving this report, thanks for getting back to it! Tall tires rule in the sand.

Subscribed, this should be great.

Looks great!! I've been thinking about talking to Diego to see if he can work something up for my 4th Gen. Question: Do you think you could drive with the fog lights on without blinding oncoming drivers? Or are they too bright? I have a set of Squadron Pros on my KTM but they have a dimmer...

Great build, well thought out and considered. Great photography as well. Thanks for this so far, looking forward to your next developments.

Looking forward to seeing how the rally goes.

Your D90 is looking great! Looking forward to following along.

Joe Berk is the importer of the CCM here in the US. If I recall correctly, they should be here soon. He got EPA (or whoever it is) approval recently. I think he was at the Arizona OE. After I typed all that, I realized you're in Wales so it doesn't apply to you. I'll just leave it up for...

Can't see the pictures for some reason. I've had Jesse bags for years and they've never cracked even after a few good dumps.

If you ride an “Adventure” bike, you’ve gotta wear an “Adventure” helmet, right? Until now, that meant you had to compromise. You had to put up with a visor that would try to rip your head off the minute you turned to the side or looked up, or a noisy-*** helmet that left you deaf at the end...

Ditto. After a Baja trip in my Gaerne G12's, my feet and ankles were killing me. MX boots just aren't well-suited to all day, day-after-day riding. The Alpinestars Toucans are great boots with a good level of protection while still being comfortable enough to wear for 10 days in a row. I'd...

I second (third?) the recommendation of Atomic Moto. Brian's gear recommendations to me have always been spot on and he spends the time talking with you over the phone to make sure you get the right gear. Thanks to him, I have no money. :********:

Great thread! I had a '67 Bug that I restored with my step-dad when I was in high school. It was the same color as the majority of yours. The 12v electrical system was a great upgrade over the '66 as was the bigger engine. I love threads like this that are "different" and involve seeing our...

Amazing build thread, especially since you're actually getting out "there" with your truck. You're truly living the dream Brother! Semper Gumby (Always flexible)
