Default let's build something together!

So I just found an old fashioned iron bed frame by our dumpster. Its allll angle iron! Not sure how much is there, but I'm guessing the two long parts are 3-4 feet, and four pieces that are like 2.5-3 feet.

So what should I build with them? Don't need a lightbar or roof rack. Thinking bout making a removable "wall" for above the back seat for my dog. So he can have the whole trunk

Hmm rock rails.....had not thought of that. It's a possibility just to do something, but don't know how much i would use it since i don't get into much rock.

Well, I meant for me. If you need to make a cage for your dog, then do that. Can't really think of anything else, since you don't need a basket or a light bar.

Only doors i can think of would be for when I'm doorless, and then i would use tube not angle iron.

I'm not sure what i wanna do. I need to sit in the garage for a while with some beer until the iron tells me what it wants to become

Drink enough and the beer will tell you what it wants. Maybe a cooler mount for your roof rack?

Possibilities with angle iron are endless. It all depends on the angle iron size. I like the cooler mount idea and t he removable wall. You could do jerry can mounts for the rear/rack. Maybe a false floor frame for the cargo area. Mounting brackets for an OBA compressor in the back.
