Likewise. I'm gonna go with plywood. Thinking 2 drawers for gear on one side, and a fridge pull out with another sliding drawer underneath for the Coleman stove, and another under that for a collapsible sink. Trying to decide now whether I want an inline pump for the water supply, of if I'll just let gravity do all the work. Good luck with your build.Great, I'm interested to see what you do! Trying to decide what I'll be using for materials at this point.Thanks. Yes I will be building my own. Working on plans right now.

You as well! I'm pretty sure Plywood will be most of it. I may use PVC where I can for low weight bearing surfaces. Here's the rough mock. I will be iterating on this as I think of things and getting proper measurements. I'll have a tray for my Wolfpack boxes then an actual drawer on the side.Likewise. I'm gonna go with plywood.

I like it. Looks good. I would also like to put in a small power supply, and a switch for the light on my rear hatch. Here's what I have so far. Like yours, this is just a rough draft, and things will probably change a bit as the build progresses. As far as weight reduction, I have seen some, cut sections out of the sides and base. I will implement this where I can.You as well! I'm pretty sure Plywood will be most of it. I may use PVC where I can for low weight bearing surfaces. Here's the rough mock.

Love the Ka BarInstalled molle panel on my 2020 Tundra. Not as easy as Rago Fabrication youtube install video shows. Bolts closest to the seat were almost impossible to get to.

I feel you. My Taco panels were hard too. Especially since I have large hands. But I was able to get them in with a little patience. Note to anyone out there for these, if you have a friend with small/smaller hands try to get them to help.Installed molle panel on my 2020 Tundra.

Cupping is normally a shock issue. (could be a few other things) If you've ever seen a tire hopping up and down on someone's car as they cruise by, that's the problem. LOLNo issues with cupping or anything like that?

That's fair. My MTs currently were ran under pressure for a bit too long and I can feel it now. Damn Up and Down temps made it hard to keep at Optimal pressure.Cupping is normally a shock issue.

Ouch. I started making a temp "headache" rack and it's too big to put on the bench. So, like a idiot, went to the gym in the morning, worked on the concrete most of the day, and in the evening can't walk. LMAO. Hate getting old but just have to deal with it. Hands are sore almost every day.Thanks Zim! I love the panel, but again it was a pain to put in myself, not to mention I had just strained 3 dominant shoulder muscles.

That looks amazing! Nice job Zim! WOW!I'm done. I'm sure y'all glad too. LMAO. One of the hardest things I've ever made because AWKWARD! LOL
So now on to the headache rack. Will be lots easier than this SOB. (disclaimer; I did not make the brush guard, just the bumper in 3 pcs.)
Winch is on the way.
