- Found an old Sears X-Cargo and decided to fix it up to use and mount on any vehicle. So did a little restoration on it and made it as good as new. Only about a day long process most of the work was prepping everything for paint. Went through and put all new hardware on because the old hardware was too rusty.
Enjoy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Finally he gets a decent size grinder for the rails!
Used the dye grinder for the parts with more pitting, so as to not take too much metal away. Rest of the rails where it looked good I used the angle grinder.
Thank you this is very helpful.
Thank you! Will try to upload more DIYs
Can you tell me where you purchased the straps, strips for the bottom, and any other hardware please? I have had one of these for probably 30 years and am ready to put it back into operation. I'm having trouble identifying what type of hardware is necessary. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
Just picked up a used Yakima space case box I’m going to use truck bed liner!
Good idea, definitely helps with scratches and durability!
Te quedó mamalon 👍. Video
Thank you!
Thanks, I just got one for free today and i will restore it. Most likely spray paint or plasti dip the top of it black. The white color i got is a little worn out
Thanks
You’re welcome!
May i know what product you used to clear the stain and dirt? and what you used for painting? Thanks!
I use Las Totally Awesome degreaser and some of the harder stuff to get off I use lacquer thinner. I just use spray cans and it was from the brand Krylon.
Thanks... I am building a motorcycle trailer using an older one of these and planning a similar restoration... This was helpful... I see you used Krylon paint.... Is it just standard Krylon or something specially made for plastic? Thanks again
I used the Regular Krylon I have found it to be my favorite as far as plastic paints. I do believe that they have a plastic specific paint as well! Good luck and enjoy the project!
How many cans of spray paint did it take?
looks really good,. what kind of paint did you use? has it flaked off or peeled yet?
You specifically buy paint formulated for plastic there is also primers that increase adhesion
What name support long tube?
What hardware kit did you buy or use?
I had extra hardware just from miscellaneous projects
My recommendation is to get an assorted set of hardware that’s where I originally began but every project I do I keep anything that can be repurposed or reused!
where did you get replacement parts ??????
I’m curious also
I have a lot of extra hardware from working on vehicles and other small projects. So just from hardware stores and parts I had
this shit bums me out. the funny snail logo is over half the reason for buying one of these boxes.
This one never had the snail on there, at least since I picked it up from sitting in a field, they didn’t all have the snail either but this one was pretty dirty and needed a good bit of TLC.
@@StegoJutter ah dang. well you made it good outta what you got! would be cool to find someone to reproduce the original stickers. ive searched a bit but havent found any
Crazy thing is most people just give these old things away for free!
Why the hell would you want that ugly ass logo anyways? Lmao
I wouldn't have done a Patagonia replacement but would have made my own stencil sacred geometry shit probably but who knows. Great vid thanks for sharing bro
I just bought one of these from an old lady on Facebook super cheap. planning to paint it black because it's in bad shape. It does still have the snail stickers on it hopefully with a hair dryer and a razor blade I can get it off in one piece to put it back on after it 🤞🏻
What kind of paint did u use?
I like to use krylon I find it, goes on plastics well.
Hey, for the amount of time you spent using that dremel, even at minimum wage figures.. I'd have suggested just picking up a cheapo drill or angle grinder, and a wire brush attachment. Would've gone MUCH faster and gotten better results.
Constructive criticism: I was hoping you'd show how to retrofit the hardware, specifically the struts. Didn't need to see you cleaning and painting.
Thank you! I will keep that in mind.
