Lets see pics of your home made utility boxes

Thinking about building a box with drawers and stuff for the cargo area. To put your basic gear in like recovery stuff and tools, etc. Just want to get some ideas.

Also, might be a silly question, but if you carpeted the whole outside to match, what did you use to keep the carpet down? Glue? Tacs?

Thanks

Here's a link to my thread. This has proved very valuable for keeping stuff stored and from flying around the cargo area....I don't have drawers, but I have compartments underneath accessible by both the rear hatch and by folding the rear seats down (and they're separate compartments).

p.s. For the carpeting I used adhesive and a staple gun and it's not going anywhere..even with my dog back there moving around and sliding all over the place in turns

I think this is the only picture I have of mine, and this was taken a long time ago. Its pretty sturdy, and has a lid that flips open. It holds all my crap so I'm happy. I covered it in Herucliner when I did my interior.

Don't worry, there is no more strap with hooks, and the tire is always strapped down, just not in that picture. I learned that the hard way one time.

That looks really nice. How is it held in place though?

Looks nice. I think I want to do the drawers though. But, you just gave me an idea. Maybe I should make the drawers accessible from both sides.



Anybody else?

Hers a few shots of mine I made about 3 years ago. The box is made out of MDF board. The draw has a sheet metal face and the top of the box has stainless steel grate on it. It has 3 sections, the draw, a section for fluids and a sealed section for my 10" infinity sub, it's bolted through the floor to keep it secure. This is very heavy duty and can store a lot of stuff, It has always worked great for me.

Damn I like that one. Been really needing to do something with mine. Tired of strapping everything down only to have to undo it all if I need to break out a spare. I also need to quit being the salvage jeep that carriers all the spare parts .

Here's Mine, it's pretty crappy, but it works well. After having it for a few years now a Drawer type box would be alot more benifical so I'll be making one soon.
