Looks nice, but I'm not going to build a box to take up the entire cargo area.

Just looking for simple ideas for drive shafts and axle shafts...I have nothing behind the front seats other than cage tubes (and a tool bag, a small spares etc bag, and a fluids bag). Maybe a box just big enough to fit the shafts (that's right)?

Those mortar boxes aren't long enough...

what do i win?

ok... i cleaned things up a bit. lol. spare is now on the rear tire carrier:

got plenty of room for the girl:

seat back folds all the way up. ill make the investment into good tool boxes for all of my goodies and make a rack once the OBA is installed permanently this winter.

The winch-less daily driver recovery setup. My box has a 50' 30k strap, 10' chain, a tree hugger, gloves, and a couple D-rings. The come-along is a Harbor Freight 8k special. It's slow but at least I can get out if I am out alone. I'll loose the come-along once I get my bumper finished and winch mounted.

It's just my $0.02, but I shiver when I see heavy stuff like come-a-longs, toolboxes and high lifts secured by bungee cords. The hooks on those things are a cheap grade of paper-clip and the cording not much better. At least step up to rubber tarp straps (check for dry-rot please) or invest in some small ratchet straps or motorcycle tie-downs.

Ratchet straps have so many uses I consider them as part of my tool kit anyhow. Keeper makes some of the best. Chinese cheapies aren't worth the packaging they come in.

heres mine.. around 15$ from wally world
and my spare is on the bumper

Cost effective; Did the same with my 1990 XJ.

na, that's a good point. They don't move around at all when I wheel or daily drive but ya never know in an accident or something. I'll get some real tie-downs and sort that out.

Okay, you guys will finally be happy. The gasket around my fuel pump was leaking so I had to drop the hitch, skid and tank to replace it. While it was down, I installed my heavy duty tie downs.

I likey. Do we have any detail pics with it not in use? I did not look through the whole thread, but a quick glance, and I didn't see any.
Thanks!

 

[playwithit]

A few more including while under construction. These are all I have. Any specific questions I may be able to answer.

 

[xjcannon]

Thanks,

Birch, 5/8" and then added marine spar finish. Glued and countersunk, screwed with the exception of the top which is screwed and L-bracketed down.

Bolted through the stock hold down mounts with fender washers. 300lb slides. I added a bottle opener and a magnet. Have inverter built in as well as 12v receptacles for the fridge and other accessories.

 

[ChuckstrPT]

nice box.

x2. I like that design a lot, simple and very useful. How tall is it? I like the variety of "stuff" you can fit in the drawers:cheers:

 

[Fred85]

This is my "urban" cargo area. Had to make some obvious tradeoffs in the depth of the bays but it works. The top is covered in bedliner

I decided to remove my tool box due to space. I needed to fit my Dog Kennel in the back and the kennel takes up the entire cargo area. So I took two ammo box's and welded them together and cut and folded one side to make it fit the contour of the wheel well. The box fits a bottle jack, 4 tie downs, Hi Lift Jack wheel lift, flash light, tire plug kit, small tow strap, road reflector, and one pack of JB Weld. I can also fit a large 50ft tow strap and army shovel behind the box. I had relocate the wires for the hatch and tail light. Now I can carry some stuff and the Dog Kennel and still be able to get the box out with the Dog Kennel inside.
