One cool thing about the slats is ease of cutting with the circ saw.

As it sits for now. I'm debating whether it needs supports spanning the legs or not. My plan was gussets everywhere and supports between the legs but its pretty stout the way it sits.

Stringer about 10 inches down would stabilize the whole thing along with giving you a place to hang c clamps and locking c clamps.

Got one stringer in there, very handy for the clamps. I'll add the rest later. The tray and angle grinder holder are also convenient. Effienciency in the new shop has also gone up. Already built half a rear bumper on it in just a few hours.

Rear bumper with new receiver design. It sits about 2.75" higher than the Mopar receiver.

Mopar receiver for comparison.

Got started on changing up the design of my rear bumpers. The change is only at the corners so I can provide the option of a swing out tire carrier.

Awesome. Swing out carrier would be very useful for some people.

I like the sound of a swing out tire carrier :twisted: Doing both sides or just one?

If I do make one it'll be a single full width. I haven't convinced myself its worth it to add the extra weight for my needs. It would add about 75lbs of extra weight not including mounting my hi-lift, so like 175lbs total with bumper :shock:.

It does come in very handy. I haul prospecting equipment that can be very dirty or a 50 quart Extreme cooler because it's a pain to get into the backseat. Very handy with 4 people in the cab. I use the roof rack as the last choice because of aerodynamics. I'm glad I built my rack to be modular so I can minimize the weight. :)

NEW SHOP TOYS!
My Gf's co-worker is liquidating her pos (truly is) ex husband's tool collection. She told me she just wants it gone and make a pile of stuff and an offer. Trailered home an off brand but works well 60 gal compressor, 20 ton shop press, anvil, air hose reel, china die grinder and china air ratchet. I've always wanted a big compressor that doesn't limit me on tools I can use.

Also had these sitting on my doorstep when I came home.

Holy moley, what a find! The pos had it coming, it sounds like.
I wish I had a belt driven compressor. I have a 33 gallon upright Husky from HD but its a unit compressor. It's very loud and slow to recover. I'll run a tool and when the compressor kicks in, I'll go take a break! slows things down so much I'd rather use a electric equivalent like a dremel versus a die grinder!
The anvil looks very serious. You going to mount it on a stump?

I went from a gasoline powered dewalt 8 gallon and another slow 10 gallon compressor to this so I'll have to get used to having all the available air. Just need to wire another 230 plug.
Not sure what i'll do with the anvil, it was kind of an impulse to grab it.
