I swear by mine---a wondermous device for sure.

Love it. With a 5 year old it’s a must.

Not sure if you noticed in the pictures above but my calculations were off by 1 1/2” so I cleaned that edge with some 2” angle.

Very nice clean build, inspirational for sure. How are you liking the lift?

Loving it. Only been in the dirt once before this outbreak and it was great. I think my wife and kid would have really hated the 6”. I think it we will be good for our mild adventures.

This is a terrific build. Simple, nothing wasted. Great job. If you’re looking for “something to cover the plywood” with, take a look at this trunk liner. I’m using it on mine. Easy to work with, stretchy to make it fit nicely, covers all the less-than-perfect parts (though yours is pretty darn smooth). I didn’t buy mine from this supplier, but here’s a link to start. Just make sure it’s good quality and the slightly stretchy kind before buying. Some of them are stiff and more difficult to work with.

I do have a question. I see you’ve screwed your top plywood pieces (box tops) to the vertical support pieces. Did you screw them into blocks on the verticals? Couldn’t tell from your photos.

Thanks for the heads up on the covering. I believe the carpenter used 1” block running the length. You can see it in the picture below.

Nice man, I’m definitely leaning more towards the 6” because I like the way it looks (I don’t have any little ones yet so I think I can get away with it).

Hey quick question, did you buy that Dometic fridge in Santa Barbara? I think that’s my brother in laws old fridge, he was telling me he sold it to a guy with an ESeries, I’m thinking this has to be it

Yep that’s me. Yeah 6” looks so good. Bigger tires too. This is also my daily so 4” will work for me.

Such a small world man, yeah he wouldn’t sell it to me lol. I dig the 6” and the bigger tires is more for my liking. But like you mentioned, it’s not my daily. My thinking would be different if it was.

Keep up the good work man, maybe we will run into each other at some point
