I was ready to upgrade my old cargo carrier system for something much nicer looking with better functionality. So I fabricated a new frame and purchased a large toolbox to use and this was the outcome. Real happy with it! This is the new Abom BBQ camp box.

    You just gotta love Abby’s never ending enthusiasm. So uplifting.

    Abby is a really wonderful Lady, encouraging, enthusiastic and loving. You are a lucky Man Adam.

    If you don't cap (close) the open ends of those tubes, you're inviting wasps to setup house inside. Take it from an old farm boy. Close 'em up.

    This was an excellent day. Videos dropped from my three favorite channels (Scrappy Industries, Diesel Creek, and Abom79). Thanks Adam for completing the trifecta! Thanks for helping out, Abby. I'm sure you're exuberance and support are very important for Adam. I really like the new aluminum box, Adam. Nicely done with the mounting. Good to see you put the new Spokane, Washington, USA vice to work a bit. She's a beauty. That welding fixture table is definitely fantastic. Glad to see you're putting it through its paces and it's functioning admirably.

    Bit of manufacturing today, thats awesome to see :D
  • @stephengile530
    I would put a piece of Scotch 130C Linerless rubber splicing tape between the box and frame at the bolt holes to help with keeping any moisture out of the box. Just a thought.
  • @user-ge6hf2xs4r
    Maybe plug the ends of the square tubing so they won't rust inside.
  • Now I know this is just me but this was one of the best videos that you have had in a long time. Reminded me of the old videos when you were doing what you do best . . . Thanks
  • That box will definitely keep the rain out but it won't keep out moisture. If there are no vents, condensation will form on the inside. Hot day, cools off at night, lid is closed, moisture will condense on the inside.

    Could’ve just added two more receivers and shared the load across all three. Future proof the system for more load.

    I love when the mag drill rpm matches the camera frame rate

    It must be incredibly gratifying to have the tools and skills to make just about anything you want, whenever you want.
  • @ThomasLips
    Adam, never take for granted the encouragement of your bride. You are a blessing, Abbey👍👍👍
  • @jr3628
    random suggestion, put a few nylon washers under the box in between the frame and the box. this will allow water and dust to drop out the bottom and not get stuck and rot the frame.
  • @joewhitney4097
    Nice carrier Abby and Adom. It will serve you well on your many travels. Have fun. Thanks for sharing.
  • @user-Carl-2964
    2 suggestions.. drop rubber/ strips on frame before you secure the box to the frame. The rubber/silicon is to prevent steel/ aluminium reaction 😮from rain and/or salt water and to slow the wear from the metal movement. I had it on mine and it lasted years. My friend had none and wore thru holes where the metal sat inside 3 years. On mine, I had brackets to hold ratchet straps (light duty) in place, to secure top while traveling, and to hold items on the top, if needed. Also not a bad idea to add reflectors to the bottom support for improved visibility. Both back and sides.

    Love your videos Abomb. Great shout out to Vice Grip Garage for the rattle can rebuilds. The YouTube community feeds off itself. It's how you all move forward. Awesome content as always!
  • @GTL77
    Love the VGG reference and you can’t beat the craigslist rebuild 😂 and over head welding isn’t hard at all! Just think of it as welding flat! Because that’s all it is! Now and open root over head is another story with 7018
