Shark "Tank"

Looking forward, has anyone made a fridge slide? I can't effing believe an ARB fridge slide costs almost half as much as the fridge itself. :shock:

I've been thinking of making a sliding drawer I found Some full travel ball bearing drawer slides at Home Depot, I bet you could make a fridge slide easy with these

Sent you a text. I looked at making my own. Nice slides that can handle the weight are spendy as well. You'll save some money though.

Ok. MTG inspired me with the custom deck. I was going to get the ORV stealth shelf, but I think I can build it more to my liking by doing it myself.

Stay tuned if you are interested.

Step one: crafting some brackets to hold the support beams. I will be using only factory holes.

Very interested to see what you come up with. Keep the pics and build note coming.

Check out a local fire apparatus, all of our shelves slide out and I bet your local firefighters would be glad to show off their trucks!

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming. I've found some good slides online but they are all in Austrailia for the outback crowd. I have to believe I can make something for $100 that will work just fine.

Don't know a cost but you might check the price of some slides through Snap-On or Mac.

Look up a company called rev-a-shelf. You can get any type of slides you can think of. They are also almost all 100% slow close so they will never slam :thumb:

Just did my favorite two mods so far. Thanks Eddie and Cindy!

Nope. Just not good at throwing away boxes.

The caster is off a bit, but other than that it runs well.

You must be running stock forks? You should change to the Terrorbmx adjustable long travel forks, they bolt on.

Unfortunately I am slammed with work and football right now so this is going to be a really slow project. But, I got 3/4" birch today and can at least start making some rough cuts of the frame. For those who care, these are 8" tall rips. That will put my finished deck about 9" off of the floor.

Looks great man I'm planning something similar for the 2 dr so watching to see how you get er done :thumb:

Having that sub in the floor is pretty cool for a project like this. In my 2012, the sub box creates all sorts of issues.

Thanks.

But don't judge what you do based on me though. You actually know what you are doing with lumber. Plus, you have the real tools of the trade.
