Very nice, do you have the file shared anywhere? Which 3D printer are you using, I like the smooth finish?

I havnt shared the file yet. I did the model at work, and i have to make sure there is no company info embedded on the STL file used to make the 3D part. The 3d printer is made by form labs. It uses an SLA material. The resolution is really high, but the top looks kind of rough becasue it couldn't translate the "TRD" very well so i had to lower the polygon count to work.
 
Any chance you might be able to twist the head about 45-60 degrees left so it points at the driver? Also maybe create a center recess for a wireless charging pad?

I could probably do any of those things haha, but i just did something simple to hold the phone. Might not be able to get that much of an angle though because of the shifter, but who knows, i had no intention of selling this part. I did get multiple request on instagram, but everyone has different phones, phone cases, and request, i dont know if i have the time to model each one or figure out a way to make it universal. I also cant keep using the company 3d printer. We'll see thought you never know. If i do decide to sell these you guys will be the first to know.

Wow, wish I had access to one of those. Maybe when I hit that Powerball. Please let us know when you upload the file.

My bad... I was one of those guys... if not, I will be soon. :flame:
 
Which version of the book do you have? The most recent states exactly what you said! I camped up near there last weds, one of the most gorgeous nights I've had camping.

2008, I ran across the 2016 (3rd edition) and as you stated he makes similar comments. its a shame really as the outlook is amazing
 
Good guess but it is a Keltec Sub2000 Gen 2 with Micro Dot and 4 33rd mags!

Looks awesome, exactly what I wanted to build! Few questions...

Have you thought about adding a locking mechanism for the storage area lid by the seats where the gun is stored?

Also, when the seats are down does it work for a sleeping area?

Did you secure it to the floor?
 
Added mictuning switches... Seem to work pretty well, shipped from Germany off eBay. Aironboard shipping to Canada was killer. So I decided to try these out.

I have thought about that and will in the future. I will not keep the gun in there at all times since I have my CCW 90% of the time but it is a nice place to have it if needed.

It is taller than the seats folded down so I will make a riser box that levels it out for vehicle camping.

It is secured to the D rings behind the rear seats via turnbuckles.

Installed extended "hydro bump stop cans"

..but no really just a quick and dirty mock up to see if I can clear 2.5" diameter air bumps.

Yea no-go on 2.5" diameter, at least with this tire and wheel setup.
