Does anyone have any ideas for cheap and easy garage storage? Other then sitting on garage floor and leaning against the wall.
That's sounds like a great idea, you could even hang em high on the rafters of the garage.BLK00TJ said:Get some hinges from the hardware store with the same size hole or just a tad bigger than the stock hinges. Or see if you can get hinges from a bone yard off a Jeep. Screw/bolt them to a nice sturdy stud and hang them the same way they go on your Jeep. I haven't done it yet but that's what I plan to do with mine. For now, I'm risking it putting them in the shed with lawn equipment.
I did something very similar but used 1 inch rubber coated straps from Lowes. They are in the specialty hardware section in one of he drawers. Worked very good and offer protection.BLK00TJ said:Get some hinges from the hardware store with the same size hole or just a tad bigger than the stock hinges.

Can you post a pic? I think I got your idea, and that would prolly be the most practical approach.lwszabo said:I did something very similar but used 1 inch rubber coated straps from Lowes. They are in the specialty hardware section in one of he drawers. Worked very good and offer protection.
These are what I usedBpmichael said:Can you post a pic? I think I got your idea, and that would prolly be the most practical approach.
I bolted them to make sure they wouldn't pull out. One the doors were on the straps I used a zip tie on each door just in case. These are very strong and are made to hold a lot more weightBpmichael said:Sweet, I'll be trying that this week. Hopefully I wont come home to find them on the floor.
Thanks for the feedback. I went the lowes rubber coated brackets and it worked great. It was so easy and cheap.lwszabo said:I did something very similar but used 1 inch rubber coated straps from Lowes. They are in the specialty hardware section in one of he drawers.

No problem at all!!! I add a eye hook a couple inches from one of the bracket and use a zip tie around the hinge just to make sure it don't slip out...a bit of overkill but if a door ever slipped out that would be bad!Bpmichael said:Thanks for the feedback.

Nice! I'll think about it.lindel said:You can store them in my garage...what color are they?
