DIY Tool Tube - ADV KLR650

[@bareknuckles1911]

May want to consider a "well cap" instead of the inspection cap. you can put a small pad lock on a well cap.

[@thomdude9168]

something to consider is using ABS glue on the closed end with a solid end cap and then using a solid end cap over the red screw on cap also- except drilling out the end so you can access the red screw on. As it will stick out a bit this will protect the wing nut and red cap from damage and it will be uniform on both ends for strapping down. SECURITY TIP: Paint the red cap black and it will be less noticeable and less likely to draw attention from thieves.

Nice to see it up close. Great storage solution. Thanks.

Crater Lake. I was there 1979 with a Chrysler LeBaron Town & Country Wagon (fake wood on the sides). I have a photo from the exact same spot, scanned from slides. With the same dead tree in the foreground.

[@Thewarhorse47]

Well, that was everything I needed to know. Thx

[@Parlusk]

You could always move the tube up a little and bolt it directly to your skid plate using the existing big holes on the plate!.

[@mrmathewhill]

the black plastic oxidizes and becomes brittle in the sun. not usually a problem in indoor plumbing. For the cost I'd go this way and replace when it starts cracking out. Or paint/shield from the sun. Red toilet pipe plug looks good.👍

[@wine_country_moto]

Just bought all the stuff to do the same set up. You sure it clears? It’s pretty tight in there! Lol

[@coast.cutter7552]

Yeah baby Crater lake. My backyard!

[@MOTOLAB-BR]

Congratulations very good your work !!!!

[@Thelastoftheprimes]

Could I trouble you for a link to the Inspection caps? I cant find them online or at my local HD or Lowes. Tyvm!

[@phredocassera2939]

Most of the time they are referred to as “test plugs” used to temporarily block a pipe while it is cleaned or pressurized (like a sewer line/ toilet/ drain) or .,subjected to vacuum. Search for the brand Oatey www.homedepot.com/p/Oatey-4-in-Gripper-Mechanical-Plastic-Test-Plug-....

[@pinnacleroofing9841]

What brand skid plat is that? It looks like more than the aluminum ones I've seen.

[@WanderingBeast]

happy trails, its 3/16 aluminum

[@EatCarbs]

That's cool. Thanks for the video

[@cheivc1956]

Great video. Anyway to lock it? Thanks.

[@WanderingBeast]

I dont but you can buy lockable inspection cap

[@flgator311]

Please let me have some information on the orange straps you have on your tool tube. Good video, thank You.

[@WanderingBeast]

look up giant loop python straps

[@enb3810]

All I heard was "Some people have been wondering if 4 inches is enough" Good video though, thanks.

[@WanderingBeast]

Haha

I tried this the other week and one of the hose clamps broke the first time out. Not confident in that. Going to either use a U-bolt or maybe a T-bolt clamp.

[@WanderingBeast]

definitely different grades of clamps, once i went to a quality stainless, it was fine

[@stefanpuffer]

@@WanderingBeast Only took me two years to finally get back to mounting the front tool tube. Ended up using U-bolts and it's really solid. Now I just have to load it up with stuff :)

[@jeffsfolio]

ABS tube? Where do you get one of those? I just found the PVC at home depot. Hmmm. What was your reasoning behind this choice?

[@advartist8648]

Also, what bag is that? Trying to find a cordura style bag at that size so it lasts forever. Any thoughts?

[@jwebb1975]

Thanks for the video

[@flgator311]

Thank you kind sir.

[@MindBodySoulOk]

Where do you get the parts? I looked at lowes and no such inspection cover that I could find or black pipe for that matter.

[@earthwoolandfire9715]

Cap: www.lowes.com/pd/Oatey-PVC-Test-Plug-Fitting/3880611 The pipe is just 4" PVC or ABS in the plumbing aisle

[@jethro9341]

Cant find abs at lowes? You're kidding right? That's got to be the dumbest thing I've read today!

[@wine_country_moto]

I just bought all the stuff at Lowe’s. The inspection caps are called test caps. At My Lowe’s they were very high on the shelves. Kinda hidden.

[@randyscott9034]

Where did you find 4 inch black pvc all I can find is white

[@WanderingBeast]

lowes

[@WanderingBeast]

lowes

[@RoadKing05FLHR]

It's not pvc

[@prominence2826]

Seems like a really bad spot to mount it

[@jadrickmorrison126]

What's the length?

[@choons]

I just made one for my 2nd Gen with 3 inch ABS. 16 inches in length seems like the perfect size.

[@k0wabungah]

Bro i lost the red twist cap, didnt tighten it and lost my tools, now im looking for the cap :/

[@pattyleabo426]

You can get them at plumbing store. Ask for a four inch test plug

[@randyscott9034]

Excuse me abs
