Thanks Manuellabour, I'm sure there will be plenty of morphing over time, and hopefully all for the better.

OK, in the truck, the fit is good. Taking the corner off Really helps mold it to the bottom of the seat and the finish really makes it dissapper. I havn't settled on a solution to keep it from moving, hopefully friction will take care of it but will see over time if I need to add a better retention method.




initial fit looks good





plenty of room








can you say beer-thirty?

Your bin is awesome! I do some wood working in the garage, but nothing to this caliber. I think I might give it a try though. I might line mine with some short dense carpet on the outside though that matches the interior color.

I changed the small backseat of a Toyota access cab to a bench since I never had anyone sit in back and liked the way the carpet matched the rest of the vehicle and trim. With the carpet surface, I was able to use the rough side of velcro tape to hold it in place.

Thanks Skid, much appreciated. Helps to have all the tools at my fingertips. Nice shelf, way to make that space more usable. The velcro solution is a nice touch.

Getting OX wrapped is next. Conceptually, I love the sharpie art look and it plays well with our demographic. Hoping to create a visually compelling design that obviously grabs attention but also pulls you in to look at the details. Here is the first concept pass.

Is the window protion going to be a full overlay or just the design on the window itself? That definately would look cool. Interested to see the final product.

Hey Manuell, the window would be just the wheel and that would actually be perforated so you could see through it. I'm looking forward to seeing how it comes together as well. Getting my hands dirty in illustrator, been way too long since I have spent time with that program. This will require some cold beverages, no doubt.

The reason I ask is that if the overlay doesn't cover the whole window, like with a clear film, rolling the window up and down might remove some of it. It does look like a good design.

Manuell, great point, and makes total sense. With that in mind then yes, this would probably be part of a window tint. I have not talked gotten together with the guys doing the wrap so I am sure there will be many other issues that would never occur to me

Thanks for the feedback though. If you see anything else, don't hesitate to throw it out there.

Thanks, Darren. Not sure I could build this cheaper then buying off the shelf though. Materials were pretty cheap, but took a bit of time (at least the way I did it!)
