[growler2058]

Nice one ozz, I did hear that coronas have a high content of human urine though! Apparently all the Mexicans brewing pee
In as a eff u America hahahahhhahahaa probably an urban
Myth!? Although that could be the reason for the lemon in the top:-)

[ozzyboy]

mexicans must have a lot of alcohol in their urine. That, or i think i need to see a doctor asap :P

[growler2058]

I have hahahahhhahahaa and a blood content in me alcohol

[Forced Offroad]

Checking out your QG, and thinking Ive seen this tidy beast before... Im Logan bloke as well, in Dasiy Hill.. not far from you at all mate....

[ozzyboy]

began the drawers. The idea is to do these with a budget of $100. ( i don't like my chances, but it's a plan)
so far, ply = $0
I will put together a cut list, maybe even a template and a cost list.
Keep in mind, i am definantly no cabinet maker :P

[rusty_nail]

it seems you have been a busy boy today mate... loving all the hard work you doing to it!

[ozzyboy]

day 2
Finished all upright cuts.
Began fascia.
Figured i'd put the base back into the patrol, just to triple check before glue / screw. Lucky i did.
The base covered the child seat bolt by 170mm !!.
Re-cut base / uprights / recessesand we're off again :)
# $43.20 so far. Plywood (free), carpet, screws, carpet glue and wood glue all bought.
# $20.15 for stainless drawer handles

cheers mate.
Yah the bar needs to go, but it is a tad down the priority list at moment. In the mean time, i just cut the bottom bar of it for an extra couple inches clearance

[ozzyboy]

only thing left to do for storage is complete the drawers.

[Woof]

Great job there mate, looks brilliant

[Timbo]

Nice Design mate! Haven't seen that done before.

I have 6x9's in my Troll atm but I just have them in speaker boxes screwed to a shelf. Pain in the butt!

[NissanGQ4.2]

Very very nice, can I book you in @ the QLD meetup :)

Does the drivers side speaker sit further forward than the passengers??? and why is the board cut shorter on the passenger side????

[ozzyboy]

Yes and yes :P
I played around / got it wrong at first. Having a toddler who loves coming for a drive with dad, i wanted to keep access to the child seat latch. Also the amp is on that face side, which throws of a fair bit of heat. so i um ... gave it room to breathe. ( thats my excuse and i'm stickin with it lol ) :P
I was thinking wether or not to even them up, but a longer drawer on drivers side beat what it looks like/ save dead space so i stuck with it.

cheers

[ozzyboy]

small touch ups tomorrow and drawers complete.
Total cost for drawers = $63.80. plus spent some getting wiring done for stereo

Cracking job Oz!!! Come up an absolute treat!!

[mudduck]

Looks great mate, love the draw set up.

[gavinsell]

Hey Ozzyboy. great looking drawers you have made. You have inspired me... one question? did you use drawer runners/slides or did you just make the drawer a tight fit??

Thanks Mate

[ozzyboy]

Thanks Mate

cheers mate. No draw runners as i tried keeping a budget under 100 bux. the formply slides laminate on laminate.
what i did was keep the drawers free from the side walls by approx a inch both sides, incase i changed mind and wanted to run slides / bearrings.
The face of the drawer ( where the handles are) i made tight to stop from sliding (mostly works :P )

[joetrol]

awesome rig man, love those budget drawers.
quick question, did you get rub with the 33's before you got the 3inch lift?

[ozzyboy]

ty joe
from memory, slight rub but more than enough to need to be rectified.
also on turning right, ripped the mud guard off.
