xB Snack Shelf *PIC*

In the summer, my wife and I like to stop at our favorite take-out stand by the lake.... here is a snack shelf that I just built for the burgers and fries.

It sits perfectly level in the dash... with no wiggle movement at all.... there are no screws that hold it to the dashboard... it just sits in place and is easily lifted out when not in use..

LOL...That's cool!

If you always go to the same place, you should attach the menu to the slanted, verticle section.

not bad for function...it would look cooler if it matched the interior though...some places sell interior black paint that would blend it in some.

That is one of the weirdest "mods" i've seen in a xB. Why not just get one of those VIP style tables that Oratoro sells? It would look much better.

Or you can skip all that and bust out with one of these.

Man, that's nice! Great purpose and functionality!

But how am I supposed to put my beers on that when I'm driving!?! The cops are going to see them!

Scott,

As in a lot of workshops, I have a lot of assorted nuts and bolts, so I built a Bolt Checker... I can determine the bolt or nut size, and the threads per inch by threading an unknown nut onto one of the bolts, or using one of the nuts on the board to find the size of an unknown bolt.

Jim it's cool that you're into making gadgets, now you need to get your wife to give you tips on how to match it to your car.

Interesting idea though, not really something I personally would want to haul around in my car...I mean I don't want to encourage anyone to think it's "ok" to eat in my boom box ;)
