Posted January 9, 201213 yr 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?!
January 9, 201213 yr 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.
January 9, 201213 yr Author Damn good idea. But how do all the people with the walls secure their boxes?
January 9, 201213 yr 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.
January 9, 201213 yr Author 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, 201213 yr by Dangrebel
January 9, 201213 yr 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.
January 9, 201213 yr Author have it on the passenger side jk bolt it down....Lol!!! Naw this thing is 54in long. It takes up every space back there!!
January 9, 201213 yr have it on the passenger side jk bolt it down....Lol!!! Naw this thing is 54in long. It takes up every space back there!!im assuming your removing the back seat mine was 56 long 24 width and 26 high until i sold my 2 18's
January 9, 201213 yr Author Yea, my backseats been out since last July. Haha!! The box is 54x32x22.5 port on drivers side subs forward @32hz
January 9, 201213 yr Could get some cobra glue an glue it in place. Might need a crowbar to take it out but it will stay there.
January 9, 201213 yr 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.
January 9, 201213 yr 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
January 9, 201213 yr Author 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
January 9, 201213 yr 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.
January 9, 201213 yr Author Yea that's what I'm doing but I'm having a hard time figuring it out haha
January 9, 201213 yr 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 ...
