Thank you, sir. I’m not much of a KZfaq star. Just trying to get stuff out if it’s helpful to people.

@@johncoaltrain9485 I think everybody has had enough of fancy intros and low budget 3D logos made from Blender tutorials.....Like your video, people who just get to the point and share their information (freely as well) is always a very welcome break. Even if it isn't from a KZfaq Star! Your still a Star.

SoulShakePower thanks for watching! Glad I could help out. Good luck!

Let me know how it goes!

Glad you like it. Thanks for watching.

Thanks!

No problem. Good luck!!!

RossThomas PXL8ED thanks! It was fun.

Jeffy Ly thanks!

Yep.

Boy Meets Bush ya. It adds a hundred pounds or so. But I compare it to throwing one of my kids in the back- or an extra cooler. There are definitely ways to cut down on the weight. That just wasn’t my priority on this one.

@@johncoaltrain9485 Cool. I replaced by store bough drawers weighing 150 Lb. I build mine with 1 inch square aluminum tubes connected with plastic connectors. Weight is a big issue for me to keep below GVM. Learned a few tricks from your build Really well done.

Chad G I tend to “overbuild” just about everything. 3/4 ply would probably get the job done, but I didn’t trust it for putting 200# drawer glides in. 2x8s gave me the height I needed and only ate up a little bit more space than 3/4ply. (Mathematically, I think you’re losing exactly 1/2 cubic foot of storage space going with 2x lumber instead of 3/4ply.)

TheUrEstupid Man, I bought that divider probably 15 years ago. I have no idea where I got it. Sorry!

Also do you ever have any issues with the drawers sliding around or making noise when on bumpier terrain?

I tend to overbuild everything at the cost of a little extra weight. If you want to go with 1x12s, I doubt you would have issues. My biggest concern wasn’t the top load but the attachment points for the drawer glides. Hence the thicker material. And no- I have had zero sturdiness issues. With the bolts pulling the platform down tight to the luggage D rings, that platform becomes a rock.

benoblest No issues with the drawers sliding around or making noise. If you take your time and make the drawers this right size, it shouldn’t be a problem at all. Adding the locks also keeps them from potentially moving in and out that 1” during travel.

Carpet’s held up really well these last few years. I don’t know anything about that other type of carpet, but this stuff has treated me well and was pretty cheap.

Vladimir Mitrovic they have been working great! No problems whatsoever. Worth every penny. 👍🏻

Not off the top of my head. I just built them to fit. I imagine everyone’s build might be a little different based on lumber, materials, etc. I can measure mine and send them to you, but I’d hate to give you a solid number that didn’t fit your build.

@@johncoaltrain9485 That would be cool when you have time - Not much of a carpenter so I would use it as a guideline . Thank you for the reply

They are 3/4” thick on each side. Sorry if I said they were 1/4”.

Nathan Smith I don’t. I’m really sorry.

Ha! Indeed. Good advice for sure. If I had a dollar for every project I neglected to drill pilot holes, I would probably have at least 5$.

saya tidur nyenyak di dalamnya. Terima kasih.

I THINK they are ProZ tail light guards from autoanything.com. I bought them in 2004, but that’s where I bought most of my stuff back in the day.

@@johncoaltrain9485 Thanks

They did. Check out the rest of the videos.

My focus is more on strength, durability, availability of materials, and ease of construction. I’m not a stickler on shaving off a few pounds or adding a few inches. There are several tutorials out there for those who want a lightweight and efficient system. This build is for everyone else.
