Stripper glitter

It ain’t much but trying to do a little on the days I can. Yesterday reinstalled my bed rails to hold the tent. I removed them to modify them so I can clamp the tonneau cover more securely. Almost screwed it up as I didn’t measure how far I could extend the clamps and they are right at the very end but it works. Got the tent back on for the summer and started on my storage unit. The narrow side will be a drawer for my “kitchen”. Stove , dishes, basic pantry. The other side I’ll cut most of the top open so it’ll be a full height “drawer” so it can fit my cooler or whatever, even getting groceries I can just slide that side out instead of using my snow brush to fish stuff out of the bed since I can only partially open the rear part of my cover.

It’s rough but being short on time and skill is no surprise. If I like it, I can see redoing it a bit better. I’ll finish it probably in the winter. I’ll have some highway trips and stuff coming up so I’ll need my kitchen in it and more functional so I rushed it , in my spare evening. My daughter helped a fair bit and screwed most of it together

Looks good from here. Slap some paint or stain on it and you'll fool anyone on it not being professional.

Kinda dumb luck but the piece I cut out of the top on one side perfectly fit the top of the closed in side so I used the left over plastic for sliders and lock was on my side because I found a couple 3 foot pieces of 3/4x2 aluminum angle, that I used for sliders and I had some ripped strips to stiffen it up from the cut off stuff in the drawers. Definitely looks like I made it from scrap but I’m reasonably happy with its function.

Not much of an update as I’m tired and burnt out. But actually using this truck for its intended purpose. The storage box works great. The tent is too small and I don’t really like the rtt that much, especially in the rain. Not sure what to do going forward. That being said I took this thing snow wheeling and it very much dominated. Couple climbs I was the only one to get up, and/or put high marks that no one could come close to. The ko2’s really liked that spring snow. I was at 4psi front 5rear and spun the rims inside the tires so I might be pulling the weights off the rims on my trip home. It’s interesting watching the wheelbase come into play. On steep climbs the longer wheel base seems to keep traction better, probably keeping more weight on the front tires and it can get the front tires clear of obstruction before the rear tires work. In spots on the flat there were a bunch of much more capable fully locked rigs short wheelbase rigs that could out do me, but once I got pointed up they couldn’t touch me. If I had a front locker I could have went just a about anywhere.
