got pics?

 

I want to see how yours came out as well. I'm actually not doing the metal cutting and bending. My Vietnamese neighbor works at a place that works with sheet metal so I gave him the blueprints and he's cutting and bending everything for me and then I'm going to weld it all together once he brings by the finished metal.

 

any pics?

 

i wouldn't use galvanized. you will have to grind the galvanizing off everywhere you have to weld.
i would just use sheet metal and maybe powder coat it or just paint it.

i'd probably even use a bead roller and roll an X on the front panel like they do with the metal jerry cans.

 

I would use cold rolled steel but my neighbor said their shop only has galvanized. Besides, I used galvanized for all my floor boards and was a little worried at first but it turned out fine. Best part is, my floors don't rust anymore. Lol.

 

Not yet, semester project for a class im taking

 

Here you go. These are old pictures; it's full of crap now.

One thing to be careful of is not to make it too long. I have to push the seat back forward a touch to open/close it. Otherwise, it works great.

 

Nice Work!
Here's mine made of plywood

 

that looks nice! Hopefully mine comes out good too

 

Jeep noob here. I'm in the process of doing something like this as well. After I get my bilstein hd's installed. Just picked up a WJ this week. So lots of little things to take care of first.

 

Got the metal!

 

Everything's is already cut and bent. Just got to weld it.

 

Little update.

 

Another update. Measurements seem to be spot on so far.

 

Time to test fit it in the jeep! So far the only part I mis measured is the lid. . . Lol
