314 viewsHow the river rock is contained, using plastic rock that's simply staked into the ground (looks good past 10' ;-) ). Yes, I got creative on that last staple :-)Mar 17, 2007

Making the rebar "staples"319 viewsLooking at the site, I decided to put rebar on the outside of the wood perimeter. To give it a custom, finishing touch, I decided to weld the two pins together and thus give it a stapled look. So I fired up the air compressor and dragged out my MIG welder (both Craftsman from Sears...very nice!). After rebar is nailed into the earth and flush with the top of the lumber, cut top portion of rebar to length. I kept the length short so the top piece only covered half of the top of the pin. This gave an "L" profile, allowing plenty of space for placing a good welding bead. Wire-wheel the ends clean and a spot for the MIG welding clamp to make good electrical contact.Mar 17, 2007

A quick way to drop the ride height of your ride over an inch!284 viewsMy trusty baby hauling 14, 4"x4"x8' boards and ground cover (inside, in the extended cargo area). A semi-show car and she still has to come out of the garage from time to time and help out :-)Mar 12, 2007

294 viewsI removed the sod layer and two shovel widths to depth over the course of a rainy week and my back said, "Screw you!" So I hired a local site prep. contractor and he excavated the rest of the site for me in a couple hours. Mar 12, 2007

265 viewsLooking underneath at how it stays in: Four pointed screws push into the carpeting and, if really snugged tight, into the skin of the car. This is the front right corner and there's a screw at each corner. Thus the parcel tray is basically held in via expansion...it's pushes on the sides of the cabin wall.Mar 09, 2007

275 viewsFor these pictures I don't have the back-splash inserted in the retaining clips but this shows how it's used to keep items from falling out the front of the parcel tray (remember, front of car is front).Mar 09, 2007

290 viewsInstalled and what it is. Simply a tray that installs under the dash. My particular model uses a synthetic webbing inside the frame. Rubber trim surrounds the metal frame on the front and sides while the back is black metal trim.Mar 09, 2007
