The Gnome is going to look great behind the Jeep!

Did some work on the trailer Saturday and did a little work tonight as well before we get snow. Thats what they say but I wouldnt't put money on it. On Saturday I framed out the door openings and cut them out with a jigsaw. I still need to take the flush router bit and trim em up all nice pretty. I used 1x4 select pine on 3 pieces and on the hinge side decided to use 1x4 poplar just for extra screw meat. Here some pics.....





We also had a friend of the wife's come over to the house on Sat when I was working on the Gnome and I think he got the sickness to build a TD. Haha... I showed him the sight qand he took me to go look at a trailer to see if it would work to build a TTT on . Needless to day that took about 3 hours and I didn't get anything else done on Saturday and had to go to the cemetary on Sunday.

I ran out of alum angle and the orange box was out so I called my dad and he donated 2 8' stcks to the build. Picked it up from him at the cemetary. So I decided tonight I would put it to good use and finish trimming out the belly box b/c they are coming to town this weekend and I will be smoking them a brisket before I leave for Phoneix for 3 weeks. I love Phoenix this time of year. I love when my parents get to come down as they don't get to too often. Here is a pic of the trimmed out bellybox andthe inside of the bellybox. I rabbited the wrong side of the ply so I decided to paint it red and black for my Red Raiders.

Thanks....Well as it was explained to me, its not like I'm towing everyday, and for the drop in gas most 6cyl average normally what I got on my first trip...about 17mpg

Like the basement!

I think the solid lid on the underfloor bin would be awkward for one person to use, a hinge in the middle would let someone lift one side of the mattress and retrieve smaller items from the bin without assistance.

Funny you say that Kharn! The wife and I said the samething so we are going to pick up a piano hinge, lol.... The lid is also heavy and that would help both of us out

Yeah Deryk when I bought the Jeep the wife was complaining about gas mileage and the first thing I told her was that I wasn't buying it for the MPG
