There's a used set that isn't too far but the thing is that gas would eat up most of the savings of buying used. I think I might just have to spring for them new and sell off the 906 springs.

Well the ladder is going to have to wait till I can get around to fabricating a rear bumper. The upper bracket needs some more tweaking in order for it to fit the body nicely but I think Gobi was...

I had to get a buddy to help me out with the install but I think the shelf came out nicely.

Got a lot done today!! No trails yet but I am trying to get out in the desert for a little while or maybe up to big bear around the first. The family is heading back east in advance of me so I will...

I would love to! I'm stuck till payday though.

Some more progress today and a skunk works will be released soon. The upper bracket is proving to be a challenge but I think I have it licked.

Ok so between the desk for the wife and the projects I have made a little progress again. I will have a little time tomorrow. I might get the shelf in. Everything fits and the shelf seems like it...

You're telling me. I'm fighting to complete the Microsoft specialist certs, finalize everything with the military, find employment long distance, get ready for school in january, finish these last...

I agree. Seems like every time I might get to go somewhere something happens and I have to back out.

It's not much for progress but a little headway has been made. I had an emergency project of a desk for my wife. I have the frame done so all that is left is the desktop surround, shelf, and support...

I will definitely do that. There is going to be a fair amount of stress on this piece. I would love to make these from 3/16 but the cut and fold would end up being as thin as 1/8 so all in all there...

Ok a little bit of progress or a lot depending on how you look at it.

I knew the sliding mech would be a pita. It would be super cool...but way harder than the bracketry for the swingout.

I'm going to be cutting all the way through and then welding it back up....

Ok so I've done a bit of work on the rear shelf.

And I have a question about my method of construction for the...

Made a swing stop. Didn't think far enough ahead so I welded this up. Gotta smooth it out and paint it. For now it's functional and that's what counts.

Whew now that would be some work!

The ladder will barely fit in there as is. Right now I'm on a vacation of sorts but will return soon to start working hard on the ladder. It shouldn't take a...

Thanks mike!

I threw some blue loctite on today and did the grinding for the wiper seals. I took a break after that. There is so much going on I did something different. I took a nap lol. When I...

I have some blue laying around. There's 2 little things I have to do. One is grind down the misalignment washers so I can get the wipers in there and I have to finish my swing stop.

Yup same here. That's what I love about it.

Everything is complete and painted. Looks great, feels great, and the side panel doesn't even flex. I am very happy with it.
...

Wow now that's a cool carrier!

Weight and safety. My setup probably adds in the neighborhood of 30lbs total where a swingout would add another 150 or so.

The safety aspect comes in the form of attachment points. Mine has 3...

Thanks Sean! I'm really happy with it and when it's all together it is going to be really solid I think. It's already sturdy.

I learned a lot about building on this one. It should help quite a bit...

Got most of the work needed done tonight. Came out well and fits great. Fits snug as a bug in the gap. Took a little while to fit and weld up right but I very glad I did so. I only wish that making...

The moment we have all been waiting for! I mounted it today and tested it with a tire. I wanted to see where the major force was at and I definitely found it but my plates really worked. I really had...
