What will this guy think of next? Dash mounted coffee maker? 50" tv? Underbody mounted toolbox? Driverseat portapotti !!
His mind is working as you read this.

Antman, just wondering, are you an engineer? Your mind seems to work like one. That's not trying to be insultive. I wish I had half the know how and guts that you have to tear into these trucks. A human body, I can cut into and fix, but a vehicle for some reason intimidates me. I may however be calling on you for some future advice. Great job on the rig.

Nah! I'm a Wholesale Manager...
I get it from my Father, a man that could truly do anything (lost to cancer 2 years ago, sadly). He was mechanically minded, and very artistic as well. He could decorate a cake in the morning, build Victorian furniture in the afternoon, and rebuild a smallblock Ford in the evening! If he had been a business man, he would have been rich!
I have always had a knack for taking things apart, figuring out how they work, and putting them back together. It's just fun to me. ( I never post the things that DON'T work BTW...
)PM me if you have any ?? , no prob.
Thanks for the compliments everyone!

It's OK, we ALL know you are picky.
Pretty much friction and gravity. I cut it wide on purpose so it actually bends the plastic side panels in a little, when in place. It's a very tight fit. The blocks underneath fit in the storage areas and keep it from sliding back. It would be really easy to come up with something to secure it for you offroad guys (like some thumbwheels threaded into a hidden nut for example). I wanted it to remove easily and quickly without needing to mess with that stuff.

They have rubber tension straps that would look great and look like they belong there. They look like the straps that hold down the hood of a jeep, just not quite as big.
I used them to hold down my fiberglass top to my Samurai and it worked flawlessly, very easy to install/uninstall.
I definately put some rep on you after seeing your ingenuity, you are very creative.

Haha. As I was catching up on this thread, I was thinking the same. Reata beat me to it, but +1.
I'm a boater too.
