Well this is the coolest thing ive ever seen. Also your wall mounted pencil above your work bench is equally badass hahaha. I cant even count the number of times my pencils have rolled into oblivion mid project to leave me shuffling around looking for something to mark lines/measurements/etc. with.

I just started screwing a whole bunch of screws into my backing wall. Just kinda organically happened.  Quote:
Wasn't forgotten. I had to move it out of the way each Sunday to get to my lawnmower  Talking with a good friend, I decided to do a flatbed setup. I was leary of cutting the 22ga steel but a metal blade on jigsaw with a wood guide did the trick. Last edited by Szczerba; 07-21-2014 at 08:34 PM. | ||

Nope. Ramps will be stored under the bed, as shown in a mockup pic above. | |

Yeah no kidding, I'm sure it'll help moving that heavy truck around by hand.

Just kinda worked out. I have a built a 15lbs CXT rig as well and the rear cab tube work is a handle as well. Quote:
Thanks, that says alot coming from an engineer! Quote:
Dibs? Lol. Quote:
I am just kinda making it up as I go now. Trying to decide what I want to add to the top of the spare tire/headache rack now. Lights probably and a storage rack area or something. | ||||

Thanks. Not quite scale ramp attachment but it works. Wide track rigs  Narrower track rigs  Storage and need to devise a plan to keep them secure in the holders.  3/4" flat bar cut with angle grinder. Scientific, I know.  Approach angle.

I think that you might have the first rig capable of making legitimate road kill !
