Years of abusing the bed protector.
Good buy and an even better cleanup job.Grabbed a $40 camper shell for my Comanche. [emoji857][emoji857][emoji857]
$5 bottle of cleaner, $5 at the spray wash was like magic!
It's getting a rack for the kayak, and will end up as a mini sleeper during hunting season.
Make Comanches great again!

Yeah, 3 drawers, screw driver tray on back, fold down side trays.

I've had one of these for years but the plywood seat base is broken and the casters have been welded on after they failed.

Bed extension pole to haul the nucanoe.
It's about to become my fishing rig.

What model is that?
I made this little doohickey to hold up my drivetrain today.
Nice. I plan to do a separate trans mount when I do the swap so the skids can be dropped easily.

Yep, it'll definitely make everything a bit easier to get to and if you need to replace the skid that'll be easier too. Turned out pretty nice for the concerns I had about doing it.
Nucanoe Classic 12
I grabbed it up for $300 used if I remember correctly. Seats 3, but I'll only be using the pedestal seat. Dam nice boat, easy to paddle, and stupid stable in the water even with that tall seat.
That was on my list but couldn't find one.
Not sure about yours, but with mine I have Daystar motor mounts. They are so stiff the skid can be dropped, and the transmission only says down about 3\4".
Not easy to find. People don't get rid of them very often.
Today I got it installed and tested. Working well!
So that's the ucf lopro bolted directly to that, then your skid will clear the bolts?

Exactly. I drilled four holes for the lopro mount and the skid will clear the crossmember. The crossmember is currently 1.5" below the frame rails. The skid will sit between 1.5 and 2" below the frame rails. I'm just happy to drive it right now.
Nice. I'm hoping to eliminate the lopro. Dont really need a flexible mount there with the bushings on each side.

Yeah you're definitely right. I could have gotten probably another half inch to inch or so, but my main goal was to just get a separate skid/crossmember setup. That would have been a good idea to do. Next time it'll be going flat.

you will want the flexible mount at the trans, it allows a lot more movement than the two bushings mounted all the way out at the frame. I have seen a few examples of breaking the transmission bell housing from having it mounted with just the motor mounts and the frame mounts at the skid.
