If you have the second top/lid & the bottom tray, mount them on the back side to fold out for staging parts as you work on a project. You will have two shelves, one flat & the other a shallow tray to lay out the parts you disassemble. They can be extra work space as well. The "dead space between units can also house a pull out tray/board for "horizontal" working space when sorting or searching for tools for a project. Very handy indeed.

Wonder if you removed the top part on the bottom section and replaced it with the single drawer that comes on the small service cart if it would work. It’s depth is shorter so it should allow the locks to work behind with a little fab work.

Hi, your video @ 4:18, you mentioned put the front support for the top box. Do I have to drill new holes on the 2 front posts and the front of the box to bolt in the support?
@Greatgadgetsgear
@Greatgadgetsgear 7 ай бұрын
I don’t think so. I think the bolts go through the front supports into the support for the top box, it might be a tight, fit on screw length but I made it work. Sorry I’m in the middle of a job right now, I can’t check the video right now. I hope this helps. I made minimal changes. I think the only thing I did differently was cutting out the notches on the posts and cutting out on the bottom of the toolbox so that the lock bars work.

Ya a lot of people do it that way. My garage door is open a lot in summer while doing things and some of my tools have walked off so need to lock up.

I didn’t want my kid to be real heavy as I open and close a lot but the damn paint scratches so easily the mat works. Thanks for sharing.

first question for the front support rail that the top box sits on did you notch it for the lock mechanism and then just drill its own holes to mount it? Second question did you use the inside side supports rail at all for the rails on both boxes?
@Greatgadgetsgear
@Greatgadgetsgear Жыл бұрын
The top box, the only thing I did was cut the two square holes on bottom so the rails for the locks slide down to catch the rail on bottom box so they work together like one unit to lock both boxes.

Great job. I bought the green 5 drawer and it's great, but I've acquired too many tools. If I can get one on sale or a return I may attempt to do this mod. It does look great. I added the magnet bar below my shelf but above side bar to use the US GENERAL tool holder. I purchased 2 5/16 carraige bolts ( course thread) & nuts so as to keep it looking factory. Works great. Looks like it came with it now. Small magnet shelf holds the Bauer batteries.

The Yukon holds my carpentry tools since the drawers are bigger. Plus the two carts don’t take up as much room still being only 30” wide it fits perfectly into the little section I have available for it. Plus I wanted to see if I could build it and still have all the drawers lock! I like a challenge. Also I got the two very cheap only $210 for each
