It looks pretty nice. But how do you have it mounted to the floor? I hope that you do have it mounted somehow. If not I would hate to be in you rig if you get into an accident. That thing will be flying right though you windshield. I hope you never have to find out the hard way.

 

I got rid of the plastic D-rings and used metal D-rings in their place and other places for anchor points. The D-rings are welded closed and of the grade found on tractors and heavy equipment, not the Lowes / Home Depot stuff. The steel rivets are from a company that sells them for circle track racing. Underneath I used washers to prevent pull through. Double looped 1" webbing with metal buckles ties it down at all four corners.

 

Forgot to attach these of the D-ring mounting.

Edit; With the rack tied down, I feel much safer carrying scuba tanks, spearguns, Coleman lantern, Coleman stove, Coleman fuel, etc under the rack since it contains them. On top of the rack I keep fluffy potential projectiles like wetsuits, sleeping pads, bags, and pillows that I want to keep dry and/or aired out. One strap is all it takes to compress items on top of the rack which improves rear visibility as well.

 

COOL!!!

 

this rack is friggin awesome, and it would not hurt my feelings in the slightest if you wanted to build one for me too.. just sayin

 

I'd pay good money for something like that. Looks great, good job.

 

Yeah, the storage rack looks great. How much did the 1" black pipe cost? Just curious.

 

Very well done sir. Now another project to my growing list.

 

IIRC it was between $6 - $8 per stick, I bought the pipe for various projects many months ago.

 

Nicely done! Would be interesting to see something like that for sale. hint hint.

 

What he said! Put MOLLE on something and I want it! You did a great job putting this together. I'm jealous that I can't fab this on my own. Maybe I'll do a PVC copy of it.

 

Like this? I could ask GF if she has an extra laying around.

 

That is also pretty sick looking. If you have extra, send a PM with a cost. Looks like you used buttons to secure it to the cubby hole, right? I never considered MOLLE there. I been thinking of a little cargo net that someone on here used.

 

That could be a profitable little side project for her.

 

What did you use for the drawer slides? Drawer sliders or does it just fit in some grooves?
