Please share photos of your cargo area.

Example: the top of my truckvault to the back hatch is 33" and the top of the back of the seat to the back hatch is 29". A 33" inch solid container will not slip through a 29" hole.

Unless the latches that hold the seat back in place were to break...

But then again, the bolts and screws that hold things to the floor could go too.

The risks we live with!

I've been thinking about using YJ or TJ hood latches as tie-downs for a cargo box, mounted upside down so the working portion of the latch is on the box. Anybody tried something similar?

Yeah, I addressed that in my post....

"the box can't possibly break loose, unless the seat comes unhooked. And I am not too worried about that either, becuase, if you've ever tried to lay down the back seat with the cushions down, it only moves an inch or 2 at best."

Got bored today and went from this. . . . .

here's mine. Picked up a medic. box at the army surplus for $100. 10 latches, all steel, and water-proof

not the best looking but works great.

To this . . .

Finally got it 99% done... Very happy with the result. Box is in READY TO GO.

Thanks to eHall for the D-Ring post in Junkard Upgrades Great mod.

thats sick who makes this box can not find it anywhere

Pics from when I first built mine. I wanted to add a place to put the Viair and Tank. It's bolted through the floor, the fire ext is on one side with a Flashlight mounted on the other.
Plenty of room inside for parts, oil, Straps, tools that don't fit in the small tool box. With the tool box I wanted to be able to pull it out when I needed without lifting the lid.

It's been in for a couple of years now and the MDF is starting to show wear, looking at some of the pics here I may have to rebuild soon.

I also have straps going to the factor cargo mounts that I put on when wheeling, Just not sure how well the latches were going to hold in a roll over.

I can make one very similar. I already made one for mine.

You guys have some amazing setups, but wood? Is this an issue I mean you get it wet and it will be soaked with mud water for the next week?

I wish i had some pictues of my wheelin set up, ill get a pic on my DD deal tomorow.

Wood is fine... Seal it and paint it and carpet it and it will last a long time. Mine has thick rubber-backed carpet glued to it. I'm sure though that if you are getting your cargo box in the back of your Jeep wet while wheeleing, then the rest of your carpet would be wet and stinky as hell for the next week. The wooden box would be the last of my concerns I think if I got that deep in water seeing as both my amps are mounted in my cargo box.

I want to make a cargo drawer. the little ammo case alone weighs nearly 35 lbs with my tools crammed into it and it's a pain to dig all the tools out just to find the right one. So i think i will builds a cargo drawer instead.
anyone know any details sites with plans and dimensions?

How about some spare axle shaft and drive shaft storage ideas? Haven't seen much of that in here...

I incorporated a DS storage area into the front of mine, this can work with or without a rear seat. I cut the front of my box at an agnle as to match the rear seat angle.

See post #284 on this thread.

I actually plan to rebuild it almost identical accept I am going to have the parts water jet cut and then I will weld it together. This will be much lighter. and stronger and not have to worry about warping.

Probably not a new idea but mortar cans? I bought one at a local gun show for $20.

Those photos were posted almost 2 years ago, and the OP hasn't been on the forum for almost 2 months. Maybe try sending him a PM?

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...

 

[anthrax323]

It's not much, but it's progress.

Graduated from a milk crate (secured with a bungee cord) to a Raingler barrier net and a couple 8-gallon Action Packers:

Just a temporary setup until I finish building my box (will be documenting the full build)... Just figuring out the internal arrangement/compartmentalization now.
