Gladiator Expedition Rigs

[Mules]

Tex I agree 100% with your last paragraph I’m constantly revamping my Jeep and the ACCC

I haven't even finished my build, and I keep redesigning and changing. There are a lot of options in the Overlanding world. Just when you think you've figured it out, you find something new!

This won't fit my build, but for under $400 US, I am impressed.

Sometimes mistakes turn out great. To save a few bucks on my build, I ordered one of those open box deals from Amazon. I thought I was buying a $50 sink. Looks like I got a $150 sink instead. Nice sink!

Planing, sanding, and oiling the counter top. I'm debating if it's a bit too rustic for the counter or not.

 

[Mules]

Decided to complete the counter, to see if I like it. Heck, it's free materials anyway. I'm doubling up the edges, like a kitchen counter top. This will make it look beefier. I'm showing the underside.

Looks good! Not sure it feels “rustic” necessarily but I certainly don’t think it clashes in any way.

Still needs final tweaking and sanding.

It’s nice to be able to pull out the furniture in 10 minutes. I need to use the truck bed this week.

I'm mocking up the height of the counter.

Building a simple cabinet for the kitchen counter.

Wow, pretty sure you couldn’t buy the materials for that cheap let alone the time/hassle to make it!

Openning day of rifle season worked out well, with (8) deer taken from 7 guys. It was nice to hose out my truck bed after bringing them to the butcher. Here's a couple from one of the guys. Mine was a smaller 8pt.

Now you can't do this with a Wrangler!

To keep things simple and light, I hinged the center platform leaf pictured below to swing up as a door to the cabinet. Otherwise I would have had to store it somewhere anyway. In the picture, you can see a silver magnetic catch to hold the door up. I bought it from Lowes, and it's not strong enough to keep the door closed when driving/bumping around. Before I buy a stronger magnet catch, do you guys have a better solution? One of my problems is that when the door is laid flat, I don't want a protruding catch mechanism sticking up, which you would lay on. Give me some ideas before I buy the catch below. Maybe bunge ball catches (I can't find them)?

Has anyone tried these?
