Dangrebel 89 Posted January 9, 2012 I have a gmc Sierra ext cab and I have a half wall box. How could I secure it so if I crash it doesn't kill me?! 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tirefryr 1,742 Posted January 9, 2012 Bolts with metal plates as washers to spread the load. Really, if the impact is severe enough, nothing is going to save you, but I like your thinking. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangrebel 89 Posted January 9, 2012 Damn good idea. But how do all the people with the walls secure their boxes? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bassahaulic 155 Posted January 9, 2012 Damn good idea. But how do all the people with the walls secure their boxes?Most people don't........ Proper walls are built as a part of the vehicle, but no one takes the time to do that anymore. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangrebel 89 Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) I mean the gmc Sierra walls. everyone I've seen has been built outside the vehicle and secured in somehow. I wish I could build it as part of the vehicle but my dad won't let me do that. Lol Edited January 9, 2012 by Dangrebel 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ssh 924 Posted January 9, 2012 I'm sure a lot of "wall" builds you aren't secured at all. If you can find any existing threads/nuts where your wall is going, and you can use a large bolt and washer, and screw it into that. As Tirefryr said, use as many mounting points as possible. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CrownVic 15 Posted January 9, 2012 Id weld together a frame with square tubing then bolt it to the frame, then use that as a platform/mounting base to secure the actual wall to. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julian 641 Posted January 9, 2012 I used metal rectangular bars with pre drilled holes and used that to make a platform that i then bolted to my floor then I screwed the box to the platform 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangrebel 89 Posted January 9, 2012 Well I can do anything to dramatic, my dad already doesn't like the idea of of a wall. So I'm trying to keep it where I can take it out and it look like stock again 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricksi30 923 Posted January 9, 2012 Well I can do anything to dramatic, my dad already doesn't like the idea of of a wall. So I'm trying to keep it where I can take it out and it look like stock againAs long as you keep the headliner, carpet, trim pieces, etc undamaged you will have no problem returning to "stock". Just bolt it down and the carpet should cover anything that you've done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dangrebel 89 Posted January 9, 2012 Yea that's what I'm doing but I'm having a hard time figuring it out haha 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Randal Johnson 544 Posted January 9, 2012 seems like you could use some "long" "all threaded" bolts to go from the inside of the box (enclosure) thru the bottom of the truck with lock washers and lock nuts ... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
