P1000 Delton's painfully slow build

[Delton]

I like it but wouldn’t it be an easy add on to current cage? Maybe make it a bolt on part for people with the rear cage removed from 5 seater or a regular 3 seater

Yeah it'd be an easy add-on. I still have my stock cage and could fab it up to bolt on

No opinions?

Can you bolt it to the 3 seat cage and have some kickers down to the back of seat area with some roll bar clamps

Not really sure what you mean. But anything is possible.

Have slanted back like Jeep I think. That would look really good to me

I'm gonna make rear section like this but have it come over tailgate and bolt to rear bumper. Whatcha think?

My cooler always stays here so would have to see what you mean. I’d like a support bar from rear ROPs on each side across back of cooler just to help hold the weight.

That'd be super easy to make a place for cooler between tubes.

Factory beds suck at holding coolers. One reason i made this bed. Way more room and lots more tie down points.

Yeah but I have to use my rear seats. My kids ride with me every time it leaves the shop

Yeah I'm about to have that problem myself. One reason I'm going back to factory bed. Also want to make some stuff to sell and need bed for a model lol. Mine spends more time modeling than it does off-road lol

For front bumper gonna steal some styling cues from this.

I've sold a ton of tube doors this summer even with late start waiting on shop to get put up and electric ran. But cooler temps have all but killed it. Well today i found my wintertime beer money maker. Already got 2 going out next week. They are super stout. Especially compared to weak oem unit.

I’d be interested in this to help hold my cooler. I’d like to have a support bar from ROPs to ROPs just to support cooler but figure that would be hard without having my setup there

150 bucks as pictured. Bracing can be arranged any way you want it (angled, multiple braces, etc) for same price. Can skin if there's enough interest in a particular material. Can't buy a 400.00 sheet of aluminum to sell one gate lol.
Will take 25 bucks off for forum members only.

Weak point on these will be cables. Upgrade those and this will be dang near bulletproof. Bed will fold in half before they break. Waiting on my 2 field testers to let me know how they hold up. Kilo is one of them so y'all know i mean business with this testing lol. That guy could break a tank with a plastic ball bat lmao

Finally got around to rear doors. Actually looks better than I thought. I bent both stock latches removing them so I installed bear claw type latches. Now just gotta find some ways to cut labor hours. If i sold them at a reasonable price now I'd probably be making 2 bucks an hour lol. It'll get easier the more i make. Support tubes are just zip tied in pics. Trying to find angles that match the fronts.

Awesome design.
Good to see you back building again, D.

Figured that you must have gotten frozen in the mud you've been gone so long!

Your tailgate looks promising... have you thought of making a rack similar to the brick city fab or dirt road fab that would hold a cooler out the back? I like the tailgate extenders but I can't see spending $300 on one of them. The brick city fab rack I think would be perfect for me but $600 is a tough pill. I think those setups that clamp to the vertical bars of the rops and retain the tailgate look great.
