Default Updated Pics of the Functional Tool Box

Here is a Tool box that I have been working on just need to make the turning locks and skin it with the Diamond plate.. I made the tool box lid open on each side as this would have made it easier for someone to get tools out of the box.
Something that I have been planning out is I made funtional sliding divider drawers inside one on each side and in the very bottom will house a nice Mamba 25 that I have even cut the holes out for the wiring. I will probably make the wires go through the front of the bed instead of down through the bottom as this will make it easier to hide the wiring.


Pic of the sliding divider shelf.


Pic of the shelf slid back to reveal the bottom of the toolbox where the ESC will be going.


Then with the sliding shelf removed. Nice little feature to help with programming of the ESC...



Any suggestions are always appreciated.
Thanks

Yep they are narrowed and sectioned so they will fit the HPI Stock Car Wheel that I think is a 1.9" wheel. I braved it and did them up myself.

What is sectioned out is not enough to go around a 5th wheel it may come close but probably about one section short if not a little more. I say take the plunge.... I used an Xacto knife as it cuts more of a 90 degree then scissors as when you cut down through the treads it trys to make the tread bulge and cups the cut so it isn't 90 degrees when you mate the two back up.

Great detail work on that. So what did you end up using for the inner wheelwells?

And what's with the tape on the driver's door? You gonna chop it down?

Half door maybe? I've been debating on doing that to my 4runner. I guess I'll wait till I see it on this truck.
