FarmFind arse end tidy up :)

Here's a little job I've done on my back end
The load bed was already extended when the floor was rebuilt, but I needed to cover my winch and electrics.
So I invested in a sheet of 12mm phenolic ply to cut up and fit as close as poss to my wobbly bits.

First bit as close to centre console as poss

The main section did take a bit of templating and a lot of in and out and in :lol

Next thing was to knock up some 1" box to support the front section. It's bolted to the floor and stops the front bit flappin' about.

The two parts are now piano hinged together and I've used rivnuts in the floor pan to locate the main section.

Tie down loops bolted in

Flat load area one minute

Offroad mode hinged up if needed. Obviously winch and electrics access

Not sure Meg's impressed but I like it

Next stage I'm going to make fixings for the hilift jack and my waffle boards.
Onwards

Looking forward to the pics, not of the inside but of where you are getting muddy, and would like to see some winching, Rick

Nice one Pete

The winch install looks too clean for your handywork!!! Is this a case of new year new me or did someone else install it :augie

What size power cable did you use for the winch?

 

[makeitfit]

Not sure of actual size but bigger than the battery cable on the truck.
