Awesome Brad! Marco is a man of many talents! The main thing I take away from "do it yourself" projects, be it shelving units, slider /bumper installs whatever....is; You can't do a field repair unless you how how something works! The way to be safe on the trail is to know everything about your vehicle, all the ins and outside, this will allow you to go forth with confidence! Brad you're a good steward of your talents and time, Thank you!

Bags, bags, and more bags. So what the F am I saying. As a test take all the items you put in the draws and put them into designated bags (not including the frig contents, hahaha). You will save tons of space, weight, and oh yeah money. They are easy to move around, stack and cram a lot of things into. I like to have one box for weather proof stuff and maybe to sit on while camping, but bags are the way to go for most of your gear. One might say, "It's not as organized".....however we are all about the cost, weight and space saving when it come to Jeepin. As always, love the vids!

DUDE! This is AWESOME!!!!. I wished I communicated with you sooner. I came across a company called 80/20 and their products are very similar to your project. I have a WK2 Grand Cherokee and similar to you, I wanted to have my own design of installing drawers. I search for MANY months and the prices for drawers for my vehicle range from $500-$700 PER DRAWER..... OUCH!!. I figured if I put my mind and hands to it could create something similar as you did. I'm still waiting for their catalog to arrive so I can sit down on my lunch breaks and pick the specific parts I need. The company also has a KZfaq channel I have watching so I'm pretty excited about starting the project. Once again... AWESOME JOB!!!!!!

Using button head screws are nice but using them the hex size changes. Nice to standardize everything, less tools needed. 😉

To tap the t-slot material, chuck the tap into a drill and tap away. Use Tap Magic as a lube. I work with this stuff all the time and we always power tap. Also some anti seize on all the bolts will keep the stainless steel bolts from reacting to the aluminum.

Save the wrists and elbows and power tap. Clamp the part, tap in the drill motor, make sure it's lubed, power in on slow, reverse and power out. i've done it and it works pretty fast.

@TrailRecon 5 жыл бұрын

So the reason for not using a drill is in Marco's experience he has had several taps break inside the aluminum profile when using a drill. A little oil and lots of elbow grease and we never had any issues.

@Tony3deee 5 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the response. I love watching your channel. I made the Air-down tool(3/8 hose and quick disconnects at the tires) and am very happy with it, especially airing up. On power tapping. I think you should try it again. Use a 2 flute tap to give the chips a bit more room and drive in 1/3, back out, 2/3 , back out, then full depth. We use a fair amount of the 8020 around work. 2 others and myself have managed to not break any taps with many, many holes tapped . Also, make sure your drill has a break when you let go of the trigger (most cordless do, I have an old corded Milwaukee that doesn’t and it try’s to twist off your wrist even after letting go of the trigger) and even take the clutch off of “drill” and give it a little slip for added anti breakage insurance.
