I actually did that originally, but I'm worried about straps or whatever dangling off the back and getting caught when you push it back into the tunnel. Adding L track to the top rail to clip things in turned out more useful and less of a headache for me.
I was quoted "Today, maybe tomorrow, definitely by early next week..." on the part. Apparently they're done and just need to go through their QC. Don't worry about blocking out a weekend though, installation takes about 5 minutes... but we won't tell anyone if you need to spend a few hours...
My first gear tunnel tray was made from a crappy ladder I found, some aluminum extrusions and a few brackets from Amazon. I threw the whole thing together for like $50, and I’m hoping to get a diy kit together with standard slides. But unfortunately, everything costs so much more than it should...
Great minds think alike! These just showed up today for a similar idea. My hope is that this tray can be an infinitely customizable platform for whatever people need in their tunnels. We have a million ideas for accessories and add ons, but I feel like the community will have even more that I...
Let me think about it a little bit before I commit to anything specific, but it wouldn’t be difficult to do the flush cut handle in place of the new raised design. Like Sara said, I just kept hitting my fingers on the door latch, but I agree that it’s easier to access without the bar.
s00n... As soon as I have a firm production timeline from the fabrication shop, we'll be opening up orders. All the key parts are here in the workshop and the other raw materials are ready to go with the fabricators. Everything has taken so much longer than anticipated, but I guess that's the...
If anyone is interested in a quick update, things are happening! It's taken much longer than I would have liked, but in the end I think it's all going to be worth the wait. We've been working with a great local fabricator and they're in the middle of finishing up our final validation unit. These...
-The tray is powder coated aluminum and marine grade composite.
- We’re looking to open up sales in the next week or so and get them shipped out in September.
- We're aiming to keep the price under $1500 including shipping.
While it's still under warranty, I'd definitely have them replace it with the updated PTC. But, it's possible to use a manual cover as well as a back up or "stunt double". I'm pretty biased on this, but if I'm ever able to get my Gen1 R1T retrofitted with a PTC, I would keep using my...
It's the little things, right? At first I had fabricated some lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber composite handles, but the knurled brass is just so much nicer. Feels like the difference between a disposable camera and a Leica.
Here are a couple of shots of what we're working on. We're exploring how to maximize every little bit of storage and functionality out of the space as possible. Most of these things would go sooo much faster if I was a trained engineer and not a cook, but it is what it is. Learning CAD...
