Interior space usage redux

[CrnCnn]

Some of you may have seen Jacks (pbkid) thread on interior write up.

not enough to make it worth it...

i took some quick pics for you though...

just a little gain on the very far back left and right

Basically I want to build a box for the whole back that would have storage for my spare underneath and then some stuff on the sides like the rear cargo holds on an avalanche.

I would probly slice the rear panel where the yellow or green lines are and add up and down cargo holds there. Then the middle piece would go across the back.


Here is a BAD small drawing of my idea.



The red speckle would be reserved for a speaker and the parts with the green dot would be up and down cargo holds for a tow rope or whatever on either side of the wheel well. Then other different compartments around the tire.

i like the thought.. but i dont think you will be happy with the amount of room back there once its all said and done, i know id also have to find something to do with the panels in there, that unfinished look back there would drive me crazy, maybe tidy up the wires and rhino line it?

if it was me and i knew id never use the back seat again, i would build a mount to hold the spare tire upright behind the front seats and make a very thin false floor across the back of the whole cargo area so i could lay tools, rags, fluids flat underneath it and still have a flat cargo area

Storage for the spare underneath? If this is a full size spare your drawings are not too scale and your box will be a whole lot taller than you think and take up too much space I am afraid. But you will never know until you start the planning stages, it will be interesting to see what you decide.

I know that some others have done a few cargo permutations in the rear of the VX. There's always Ldub's cargo/sub box, and I think Kenny has gone through a couple of combinations back there. I think the ultimate cargo area box would be Grandpa Bob's storage box/ bed. If you can do without your rear seat, then I would say go for it. You can always use more storage. Take a look at the threads below for more ideas.

My seat is not going back in, at least not in my truck. I have seen and I like the idea of alot of these other thoughts. I am not certain on what I will do. I would end up cutting the top half of the panels to make it work but dont like the thought of that in case I change my mind later.

But what will you do with the rear seat?

But what will you do with the rear seat?

In my case, I have my seat mounted with pins, so it can go in or out at will.

Sorry for not crediting the member who posted the rear seat pins / mod.
