I REALLY like your idea with this to expand the storage capacity of the tool cart. I WILL definitely do this side cabinet mod to mine as well. Thanks! Also, food for thought, in my 22 years as an Air Force heavy equipment mechanic (mobility/deployments) we used to bolt the top and bottom toolboxes together by removing the drawers as needed for access and drill a couple holes and use bolts, fender washers and nuts to tie both together for better stability. You could do same by bolting through the corners and with spacers for empty space on sides on cart, along with casters that everyone has already suggested. Since you keep cart strapped inside trailer, this would prevent the side cabinet from possibly coming off IF you hit big enough bump or pothole then open trailer to find cabinet and tools off all over trailer.
I hung an add on cabinet to both sides of the cart. Built a cradle of sorts outta 1/4 thick angle for under both add ons and mounted the blue hd wheels under each end. Also mounted the folding shelf to the side of the add on. Heavy but works great.
Great mods for a mobile cart. I'm not into cars or a mechanic by trade but i will be getting this cart for regular fixit things (Harley etc.) in my home garage. Enjoyed this video!
I was thinking of adding that end cabinet to my blue cart. Looks great. I also agree with you on Harbor Freight should come out with different color jack stands.
This is what I was going to reccomend. Maybe add a thin plate to bottom of the cabinet along the outside edge to support the casters, and add like 2 there.
I did just that. Built a small "trolley" with sides to hold the end cabinet. Sits at the same height as the 5 drawer cabinet. Works great and you don't have to haul all that weight around.
Did the same hack on my cart, but kept the front of both units even. This meant notching the back of the side unit. I also bolted the side unit to the main cart’s legs, just for added security. I’ve been looking for a matching touch up paint for the neon green, so will look into 22Trips. Nice job!
Can you do a follow up video after some use, I love the idea but I'm concerned it will be to heavy and it will fall over with out the added Jack holder to counter balance, also did you look at possibly adding casters to the end cabinet
Andres Apodaca I thought about adding casters to the end cabinet. Shouldn’t be to hard. Adding the jack holder was to help balance the cart out and to make it a easy place to keep. I’ll definitely do a follow up once it’s fully loaded and I’ve been using it.
@@BringItMuscleCars 4in. 330lbs. Solid rubber locking Swivel casters are what will fit and hold the weight easily...they are almost dead on to what U.S. General uses stock on there carts and cabinets
I built my paper towel holder . Just bought a plastic paper towel holder at Wally world and gorilla glued two magnets into it ! I enjoy building the things I need more than buying em .
Very nice job...im an HFT employee and I think most of The day how to mod almost everything in the store...did you try rubber wheel chock in The jack holder to stop the bounce?..they are always handy to have around
Kenneth Burns 👍 and you can use the chock(s) for increased safety when using the jack to get the vehicle up on the jack stands. Parking brake or having transmission in gear works when lifting the front end with rear wheels on the ground, but chocks needed for the front tires (which have no parking brake) when lifting up the rear end.
Just picked up one of these carts for racing superbikes. My cart will be travel to the race track in a trailer. You mentioned that yours travels in a trailer. How do you strap your cart down in the trailer? I assume you use ratchet straps, but how do you strap it in. With my current cart, I use “D” hooks on the floor and strap the hooks around the square steel tube of the Bluepoint cart frame. The HF cart frame doesn’t seem sturdy enough to handle being hooked and strapped. I was thinking of doing E-track on the trailer wall and strapping around the cart to the wall. Just wondering what solution you came up with. Thanks in advance. JohnV.
I have two D rings on the wall I strap it to. It runs across the drawer and I have to slide the strap up and down. I haven’t had a problem with it moving or loosing up.
@@BringItMuscleCars Thank you for the reply. Do you still do that even with the extra add on box that hangs from the right side of the cart side? I guess the bumper guards, placed properly, can serve as a protector from any rash caused by the straps going across the front of the cart. JohnV.
@@gecko6952 I still do. The strap did wear some of the paint though. It’s not the best layout overall because it’s a lot harder to load and unload from the trailer.
How end heavy is the cabinet after it is full? Do you actually have to compensate for the weight of tools in the cabinet? Like making sure you only put light stuff on the top/ect
I did the same thing on a cart I use at work. The thing I had to do was make a base for the cart and side cabinet. When I had everything loaded up and tried to move the whole thing, the side cabinet made it too heavy on that end and almost flipped the thing over. maybe your floor jack will balance it. Great job.
Hammerdown Motorsports I like it but if it wasn’t going in the trailer I’d have bought a tool box for a bit more money. Way more storage for the money.
be trick if you could get onto a carla cargo type trailers, but retro fit for your tool box. They run around with giant fed ex deliveries in NYC. Narrow low profile trailer goes on back of an e-bike or anything with ball hitch (I pull something similar I made with my mower around property to bring tools to machines. Could drive that baby right over to the car out on the track ;-). Thanks for sharing.
Maybe you answered this already, but where did you get the jack holder??? I’m going to want to do the same with mine, being it will be my mobile setup.
Did you bolt the cabinet on any other way besides just hanging it by the top lip? I think I missed that part and didn't see you drill anything into the insides before the drawers were put back in.
I just bough one. Thanks for the great ideas. Although I probably would have went with some type of dremel tool or electrical cutter, for the cuts. When I assembled my tool box I knew it had more potential.=, but you blew me away. The only thing that I probably would have done different would be to add two more casters.
jt mobley I would definitely recommend using a small cut off wheel for the cuts. The casters under the box would definitely reduce the load on the cart. I’m glad I could help you. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I just picked up the 4 drawer harbor Freight Roll cart in blue today. I plan on doing mods and stuff to it. So i like these videos for ideas. Walking back and forth to my box gets annoying so now I can put my most used tools in the cart and have it right next to me.
if you mounted the side box flush to the front the power strip could be put on the back unless you need to set the tool box flat to a wall idk just thinkin
I actually built this to go in my car trailer. So I wanted it to sit flush against the wall. Otherwise I would have flushed the front. If you did that then mount the power strip in the back. You could drill a hole to run the cables through to charge stuff with the lid down.
If you make the fronts flush with each other, it only takes 2 little slits with a cutoff to make the side box work, one at the back of the lid and one on the box.
David Addler the jack holder cane from summit racing or amazon. I could have put the shelf on the other side. I didn’t feel like I needed it with the top of the side cabinet.
Hanna Say Go it’s sticking out. It’s thicker than the cart. It hasn’t to stick out the front or the back. Mine is strapped into the trailer most of the time so I choose to have the front out further.
Pete Thiel one other tip is you can take some of that dry powder and mix with MEK (methyl ethyl ketone) and it will turn the powder into a liquid and you can touch up the bare metal where it’s cut and then use a heat gun to cure it.
Why didnt you have the side cabinet flush with the front of the cart? What about putting that side tray back on? I'd put a set of casters under that side box.
Heavy D I chose not to have it flush with the front because I strap it to my car trailer. This cart is meant to stay with my drag car. I could put the side tray back on if I wanted to drill holes in side cabinet or not have a handle on the other side. You can put casters on the side box. I have plans to modify it even more now.
@@BringItMuscleCars That makes perfect sense, you may have said it in the video that it was going into your race trailer and I just missed it. I have the yellow cart and was wishing it was bigger, I am going to absolutely steal your upgrade tip and put a side cabinet on mine! Awesome tip!
Add folding shelf to the back and another cabinet to the other side. On the inside of top box remove tools put plasma TV. In one draw put laptop. And on one of side cabinets put vice on other cabinet put mini lathe.
If you make your cart so big it has all your tools then what's the need for a tool chest? I store all my rarely used tools in my cart to have more room in my main box. I leave the top empty to hold tools while I do a job and when the job is done I put them all back in my tool box then move on to the next job.
Retrogamer1010 for me it’s being able to store stuff underneath the box. Have the jackstands and other bigger items there is really nice. I normally have my cart in my trailer. It’s geared towards my racecar. But I agree if you don’t move it around much and have a lot of tools a box is the way to go. It’s more economical to get a decent size box than my set up.
*Hey man I just subscribed I have the EXACT Same box and would LOVE to do this as a add on, because I don’t want to buy a full size tool box just yet, I look forward to seeing the Review and maybe adding the casters under the End cabinet? Hopefully you show us step by step how to do it because I NEED This in my life haha my box is getting a little cramped!!*
Bring It Muscle Cars *hell yeah! And maybe if you can give us Step by step Details like the Caster sizes and where to bolt where or make holes and so on and so on! , I’m sure I’m asking from a lot of other people too!*
I’ve done this with my harbor freight box just didn’t put the jack on it lol. But once it’s filled up it gets pretty heavy to push around to add a jack that’s gotta get heavy. And idk about lifting the jack up and down after a few times I’d just leave it off.
Mattterson34 !! For me having the jack on there is just storage. I keep my cart in the car trailer. This allows me to have a spot for it and take up the least amount of space
I’ve seen several videos, where guys put the side boxes on their rolling carts. Maybe HF will change the side or make a different size, so they’ll fit without modifying
You may have doubled the weight carrying capacity of the cart, so the weak link may now be the wheels. Any thoughts of upgrading the wheels and castors?
What about adding the tool tray to the other side, and making it flip up on top of the lid of the cart. Then you can still use the pull handle, and have the cart tray work surface. Drop the handle lower, and install a flip hinge, and braces? Just thinking in my head
thanks for doing a video on adding the side cabinet some of the guys at my work and I have been thinking about doing this. Please do a follow up video after use to let us know if it is too much weight we have to move our carts around in a factory.
It's too much rolling around a factory. Unless you reinforce it really well the bolts will start to try to pull out of it mainly it seems to be the expansion joints they put in the floor. I've seen it happen on at least 3 of them now. Unless it just sits in one spot I'd suggest skipping adding any big locker or drawers on the end. If you still have to do it, IMHO best thing to do is get some angle iron and build a frame for it to sit on. Then move the casters out to all 4 corners.
Flip the handle upside down so it’s flush with the top. What brand, color and where did you get the paint? I like the additional holes in the screwdriver tray idea. Pretty sure that bad boy is over the weight limit. Hope it works out -thanks for the video.
Just wondering why you didn't fab up a frame to go under them both so you could upgrade the casters the ones on the cart do not hold up when over loaded and pushing it around they will last for awhile just my thoughts plus with the cars behind you you should have all the tools to fab it up easily
Michael Cross I’ve seen people make a frame for the bottom. It’s possible that I might do that. I’ve been looking at bigger “off road” casters to make it easier to move around at the track if I need to. For the most part it sits still in the trailer. I don’t do the fab work on the race car. I leave that to pros. When you’re doing 155-165 you don’t want anything to go wrong.
I picked up the 4 drow and then added a side tool box on both sides then l put on bigger wheels. Works great. Then found a 9 drew top box, took the lead off it fitted in the bottom.
I put the same side cabinet on my us general cart. I have mine so it’s flush at the front. I plan on adding casters to the underside of the end cabinet. I have a walk around video of it on my channel. 👍
Wouldn't a dremel with a cut off wheel have worked easier than mauling it with tin snips lol
Yes but I couldn’t find mine so I went with what I had available
@@BringItMuscleCars ooof. Well, thanks for the idea regardless!
I put all my racing stickers on sheet magnets and then cut around them. That way I can take them off or move them around at any time. Great video !
Bob Moyer that’s a great idea. Thanks for the idea.
That's a great idea

Do you move it around. That’s got to be pretty heavy. The side cabinets are heavy. If I could weld I would have built a cradle. I had thought of that.
Where did you source the floor jack holder? Nice Job on the tool cart
I hope I grow up to be like this guy
@@BRado I haven’t grown up yet.

Why didn’t u just use the grinder u mentioned to make the cuts? Guess I’m a little confused on that whole deal
Travis Gustin I went to get my grinder. Someone borrowed it and didn’t put it back. I had to use what I had available.
Bring It Muscle Cars nothing worse than that!
Travis Gustin true. Everyone was like it wasn’t me. I didn’t know you had one. Yeah okay.
@@BringItMuscleCars I would rather loan out my dog than loan out my tools. At least my dog knows how to find her way back home.
PaganWizard very true. I had to start locking my boxes at our shop because a lot of tools have walked away.
I was thinking of adding that end cabinet to my blue cart. Looks great. I also agree with you on Harbor Freight should come out with different color jack stands.
Maybe they will hear us and do it. Everything else is color matched.
I would have just put a set of casters under the new cabinet
Chris Spderbetg I was going to. I still might once I see how it nice handles the weight being fully loaded.
This is what I was going to reccomend. Maybe add a thin plate to bottom of the cabinet along the outside edge to support the casters, and add like 2 there.

Measure the gap to ground put a set of swivel casters on bottom of side box

I know definitely your box is totally awesome and so Kool keep up the amazing jobs guys
Thanks man. Much appreciated.
What is that matching green spray paint?
Is the bottom of the side cabinet secured to the cart? If so how did you do it
It’s not. It’s heavy enough that it’s not going anywhere. The Sid cabinet weights like 120 lbs or something. It’s heavy.
Where you snag that Jack holder?
Switch to the blue caster wheels they sell. They hold more weight and last longer.
TheTyrial86 I have two blue ones so all four are swivel casters now.
What magnetics are those that are holding your ratcheting wrenches?
Just stumbled upon this for new ideas and it was good stuff! Also the Red green show ref was a nice touch!
is there a link to that jack holder?

What happened to your side tray/shelf? Will it mount to the end cabinet?

How did you get the lid to stay straight up?
Not sure what you mean. That’s just how they are. Maybe the older versions don’t do that.
@@BringItMuscleCars I do have an older red one, the top doesn’t go straight up when open,leans forward a little

outdoorzone summit racing or Amazon. They both had it. I bought it last summer.
Bring It Muscle Cars thank you!!
If you make your cart so big it has all your tools then what's the need for a tool chest? I store all my rarely used tools in my cart to have more room in my main box. I leave the top empty to hold tools while I do a job and when the job is done I put them all back in my tool box then move on to the next job.
Retrogamer1010 for me it’s being able to store stuff underneath the box. Have the jackstands and other bigger items there is really nice. I normally have my cart in my trailer. It’s geared towards my racecar. But I agree if you don’t move it around much and have a lot of tools a box is the way to go. It’s more economical to get a decent size box than my set up.
*Hey man I just subscribed I have the EXACT Same box and would LOVE to do this as a add on, because I don’t want to buy a full size tool box just yet, I look forward to seeing the Review and maybe adding the casters under the End cabinet? Hopefully you show us step by step how to do it because I NEED This in my life haha my box is getting a little cramped!!*
IDABAYAREA650I thanks man. I definitely have more in store for the box. I’m going to do casters on the cabinet.
Bring It Muscle Cars *hell yeah! And maybe if you can give us Step by step Details like the Caster sizes and where to bolt where or make holes and so on and so on! , I’m sure I’m asking from a lot of other people too!*
I’ve done this with my harbor freight box just didn’t put the jack on it lol. But once it’s filled up it gets pretty heavy to push around to add a jack that’s gotta get heavy. And idk about lifting the jack up and down after a few times I’d just leave it off.
Mattterson34 !! For me having the jack on there is just storage. I keep my cart in the car trailer. This allows me to have a spot for it and take up the least amount of space
Nice. I have the orange one.
adam vera I wanted orange but they were out of that color.
I’ve seen several videos, where guys put the side boxes on their rolling carts. Maybe HF will change the side or make a different size, so they’ll fit without modifying
That would be nice if they did that.
If I ever need more space on my matco cart I might just run this first lol. If It doesn't work I'll just repurpose it for my hf tool cart at home
Great video
Looks like I will be trying this out
Thanks
Pheanele Hamm-Brown thanks for watching. I hope it helps make the process easier for you.
Great, I will be doing the same thing but I cannot find the jack holder? Where did you get it?
Thanks
I bought it from amazon or summit racing. both had them.
Will end locker will work instead cabinets?
Jerry Wafflers they mount the same way so it should work.
Bring It Muscle Cars. Is there a way to mount caster wheels on the side box??? ..... great video thank u guys
I liked and subscribed.
Thanks for liking and subscribing. I would say you can mount them underneath but it will take some fab work.
You may have doubled the weight carrying capacity of the cart, so the weak link may now be the wheels. Any thoughts of upgrading the wheels and castors?
I had upgraded the wheels. The weak point is actually the side frame and bottom floor. It’s already bent
@@BringItMuscleCars dam 😁
What about adding the tool tray to the other side, and making it flip up on top of the lid of the cart. Then you can still use the pull handle, and have the cart tray work surface. Drop the handle lower, and install a flip hinge, and braces? Just thinking in my head
That probably would have worked.
Has anyone tried to put the end cabinet on the side of the new Full bank box? Wondering if it would fit.
I think it fits but they are different sizes.
thanks for doing a video on adding the side cabinet some of the guys at my work and I have been thinking about doing this. Please do a follow up video after use to let us know if it is too much weight we have to move our carts around in a factory.
joshua hall I can do that. Thank you for watching and commenting. I appreciate the support.
It's too much rolling around a factory. Unless you reinforce it really well the bolts will start to try to pull out of it mainly it seems to be the expansion joints they put in the floor. I've seen it happen on at least 3 of them now. Unless it just sits in one spot I'd suggest skipping adding any big locker or drawers on the end.
If you still have to do it, IMHO best thing to do is get some angle iron and build a frame for it to sit on. Then move the casters out to all 4 corners.
Flip the handle upside down so it’s flush with the top. What brand, color and where did you get the paint? I like the additional holes in the screwdriver tray idea. Pretty sure that bad boy is over the weight limit. Hope it works out -thanks for the video.
Just wondering why you didn't fab up a frame to go under them both so you could upgrade the casters the ones on the cart do not hold up when over loaded and pushing it around they will last for awhile just my thoughts plus with the cars behind you you should have all the tools to fab it up easily
Michael Cross I’ve seen people make a frame for the bottom. It’s possible that I might do that. I’ve been looking at bigger “off road” casters to make it easier to move around at the track if I need to. For the most part it sits still in the trailer.
I don’t do the fab work on the race car. I leave that to pros. When you’re doing 155-165 you don’t want anything to go wrong.
I picked up the 4 drow and then added a side tool box on both sides then l put on bigger wheels. Works great. Then found a 9 drew top box, took the lead off it fitted in the bottom.
Matt Swearingen that’s a lot of box at that point. Why didn’t you just get one of there boxes. It might have been cheaper.
Well I already have a Craftsman bottom and top box but I like this set up.
Matt Swearingen makes sense then.
I put the same side cabinet on my us general cart. I have mine so it’s flush at the front. I plan on adding casters to the underside of the end cabinet. I have a walk around video of it on my channel. 👍
I’ve actually watched your video a few times.
