Aluminum JKU Cargo setup

[MLGrace]

So we have built tons of projects out of steel but recently have started working with aluminum. Built this slide and cargo setup for my 2016 Rubicon. It turned out pretty good if do say so. Weight was my main consideration.

Looks great, nice work! I recently did a V2 version of my storage system and built a slider for my cooler from aluminum this time. I like it a lot better than the previous wood version that I made. The platform everything is mounted to is still wood though. I think if I were to rebuild the entire thing, I would use aluminum for everything.

Yes the slide is aluminum also and the rigidity is awesome in comparison. The deck on the other side and up top is a black HDPE product that I got in a sheet. I still need to a the end and I will put monstaliner on it.
