I'll try to get a complete cut list together at some point, probably once all of the wood work is done.

 

thanks i'm thinkin of something simular only on the drivers side and a bit taller.. remove drivers seat.. keep more "foot" room for rear passenger if needed and still have max storage.. maybe even a hidden compartment or two..
cheers

 

ha not for you to make a cut list for that ha just thinkin of what i wanna do with mine and use your experience to aide mine..
clarification as after re-reading my last post it could "read wrong"

Locating pins for the "secret" compartment (not so secret now, I guess).

Lid for compartment:

Held in place with rare earth magnets, locating pins keep everything lined-up.
MagLite and fire extinguisher brackets mocked-up on center lid:

Nice today, so i was able to get the bedliner sprayed on the lid sections

Carpet tomorrow

Carpet installed. I made sure to mask the bedlined area to avoid getting the spray adhesive on it. Use 3M Super77, spray both surfaces liberally, then let tack-up for at least five minutes. Once glue has "set", slowly lay the carpet onto the box, smoothing it out as you go--I used a Bondo spreader for this. Work it into all of the corners and edges, then rough-trim the excess off wih a SHARP utility knife blade. Once the glue has dried for an hour or so, go back and carefully trim the edges with a sharp utility knife blade
This is the center panel:

I like how this looked on the old box, so I incorporated them onto this one. These are the original Ranger emblems that were removed when i put my '06 emblems on. They're held in place by the locating pins, which are pressed into a couple of blind holes-they fit really snugly.

Ready to install:

Installed:

EVH-striped fire extinguisher, MagLite, and power inverter all installed.



For some reason, the color of the carpet looks kinda blue in these pics--probably my POS camera. This carpet doesn't match my interior as well as the old one did, but overall, I'm very happy with how this on turned out.

 

Nice Mike! I hope mine will be close to being this awesome!

You ever thought about marketing?

 

finshed it looks sweet
well done sir
the only thing i would change is getting rid of the cup holder/ jack holder thing and rework it
however it would mean bye bye cup holders
anyways very well done.
I might tackle this one day
Mike

 

Thanks guys-
It's 9:07 and Taylor is "Offline"--he'd better be putting in the box that I sent him since it was delivered at 11:40 this morning!
Gotta keep the jack cover thing, though; my jack's in there.
I'm going to keep my eyes open for some different carpet--the stuff that's on Taylor's matched my interior almost exactly.

Yup, this thing got here pretty fast actually.

I cant wait to put it in. Unfortunately, it might be this weekend before I get to it (work, yay)

The quality of this thing is top notch. Nice work Mike!

 

i wonder what it would be like to make a half version of these. only reason i wonder is because i have a 12" woofer that would go on the floor on the drivers side

 

Build the woofer into the box--passenger side with the lid, driver side with the sub. Probably have enough enclosure size if you made the box a little taller (deeper) than mine. That would be pretty trick.

 

Awesome.

 

An excellent post and so well done! My jump seats are coming out. I cannot forgo seat travel (6'4"); but may try a bit higher, and relocate jack storage. I love the finish.
