Halfords Dog-Taxi

Hi David

can't comment with 100% certainty as haven't tried it out yet,

but when I got them fitted, I first had the front nearside put on, then had them fully jack up the front offside and tried lock to lock and there was no catching. So in theory it's OK, but it hasn't been tested in anger.

I've never seen that one before, thats awesome!

Oooo .. I like the look of that ..... Not sure of the arches, although it does give it an egressive kind of look.

Loving the front bumper setup ..

apologies for hijacking the thread, but i think the front end is the best feature, it looks factory where some hd bumpers look a bit "stuck on".

I think the one above and this( forums.offipalsta.com/showthread.php?t=48063&page=6 )are the best 2 builds out there.

yeh David I do like that one.

today made a quick removable satnav mount using a "finger plate" - £2.65 from local timber shop

two shaped sides made out of a piece of 4"x1" fence board
with a strengthening runner

stapled on some leatherette I'd had for years

sit's in the cubby solid as a rock

and gives good hidden storage when parking up


Tomorrow's project - DIY "ladder roof rack"

Todays project - ladder roof-rack :blink:
materials:

5 off 4"x1"x6' fence boards
1 off 3"x1.5"x12' fence rail
1 box 2" decking screws
total £15.00
optional - sandpaper & decking oil




it's a bit heavy - bit lighter than a pallet, but some of the wood's wet, will let it dry out and treat with decking oil to keep the water out

works a treat, bulky heavy items simply slide into position without the risk of body damage - well pleased.

also doubles up as a sledge should the Jim ever go bellyup and acts as an emergency escape raft :dry:

@ Halford - How much do you think you would have to cut off the mudflap spacers to stop the AT2's catching? I looked at my standards yesterday and pretty sure i'll need to modify my flaps

I fitted my flaps 12months ago and so pretty confident i'll be able to remove everything
