Not happy with plastic or plastic boards and these have been on my bucket list 30 years

rated to hood 6-8 metric tons

aluminum

And the fact they look like they were made from military field aircraft runway material (not the right terminology, but I think I’m close) had nothing to do with your choice? Ha! Just giving you a hard time. I think they look great.

on edit, I see now that the holes simply match the design of your rock rails. The military quality had nothing whatsoever to do with it. I’m poking fun at this because I’ve considered a molle tailgate system featuring acu camo pouches. I know it was the worst pattern of all time, But it really color matches my Cactus Bronco. (I also happen to live in one of the only regions of the world where it works (great basin sage).

correct military PSP planking
These are aluminum

a buddy of mine and I almost bought a trailer load in early 2000 to cut and use. Glad I didn’t, they were steel.

working on mounting them or at least a few options where or how

I really need to do my seat delete as well

I have a 4x8 sheet of beige HDPE coming to make a raised platform. Trying to decide if i want theses here, forward over cupholders or under the patform.

Very nice looking wheels and tires. Is your Badlands a Sasquatch? Also how do those tires compare to the stock for road noise?

2 db higher on an Apple Watch but not a direct comparison on same day same roadway

You have anymore pictures of this? How does the two wire wiring cable interface with the sensor? Is there a connector or do the leads go straight into the sensor?

I'll be interested to see your HDPE platform, I looked into using starboard but then the price scared me off lol. I might still do a HDPE one after I get this birch one done.

It took about 20 minutes, by myself

Not going as fast as the last time i fabricated things… but coming along… will raise the platform 12” off the floor to allow a couple milk crates if need under it,

 

[mcinfantry]

Done!!!!

Spent the day doing what I could
Mxt575 @MidlandUSA under the console and routed the usb c and rj45 jack to the console with bulkhead fittings
Moved my Apple puck to where lux would be and we will see how it works
Finished out my onboard air and mounted it on the side of the @Lobo Off-Road hidden winch mount with a warn platinum zeon 10s I got from @nextgen bronco (waiting on a fairlead)

I used an air body saw, didn’t remote mount the solenoid (no need).

took about 7 hours to do it all by myself

silly question, but does that hair “scrunchy” stay on there? Only reason I ask… first date with a girl in ‘94 she took one off and dropped in on the gearshift of my Silverado. She wound up becoming my wife and the black scrunchy has made the move to every vehicle shifter to this day. First thing I noticed in the pic, lol.

great build and thread!
