Here's some pics of yet another lil project of mine.
Instead of buying a high clearance cargo hauler to avoid putting a bloody deer in the back of my jeep again, or buying a roof rack, or an internal 2nd shelf for extra storage in the jeep, I made this.
It is a 47" x 24" x 6" basket, which has 1 1/2" hitch tubing on the bottom. This allows me to take the 'z' bar off (it slides in and uses a pin to keep it on the basket) and use it inside the jeep with some legs I still have to make, or I can attach it to the factory roof rack cross bars with some ubolts.
The basket is made of 1" x 1" x .083 wall tubing that I had laying around, and it will easily support around a 250 lb person on it (but the jeep does sag...the rear springs are shot and in dire need of replacement).
What ya think ????
