Has anyone else had any luck finding baltic birch near them or is this a local thing? I've seriously been trying to build this sumbitch since March but my local supplier sells out of 3/4 sheets as fast as they come in even at $80 a pop
you don’t need 3/4” plywood. 1/2” is what I and GOOSE Gear use. Remember it is much stronger than ordinary 1/2” plywood you get at Lowe’s because it has a lot of layers.

Well it's all out of stock locally it seems. I was going to go thick because I'm leaving a lot of it open to allow airflow to all the electronics I plan on mounting underneath.

At this point I'm getting frustrated waiting and I had to go back to my 60% GG platform on that side for a recent trip. Starting to wonder if the headache would even be worth it.

Too bad you’re not closer. I have a sheet of 1/2” and 5/8” in my shop…

I congratulate you, great job. Could you please share the plan with me since I am about to receive my new Gladiator?

Great work by many here. I know OP said he was out of the plans, but if anyone has them to share just say the word. I'm definitely going in this direction.

Sorry guys. It was a one off and I wasn’t really intending to produce them so I didn’t keep anything.

Just sent you a PM...
if they are still available for giving, would you mind shooting me a PM of the deck dimensions?
