Cargo Area organization

I stumbled across this cargo area box while looking for a drawer system for the back of my T4R. I was about to fork out about $1200 for an Adventure Trailer drawer system (which would have been much higher quality), but for $269, this deserved a second look. It's a medium sized SUV Cargo Caddy that I purchased from LLBean. It's fairly light, appx 40ish lbs unloaded, and comes with a carpeted plywood top, two dividers, and is lockable.
I had to remove the cargo area divider, which took five minutes with an 11mm socket.

I am a veterinarian and use my 4runner every day for farm calls to work on horses, so it will be tested. I downsized from an F-150 with a full bed replacement fiberglass box ($11k), so obviously I am sacrificing some space in the name of fuel efficiency and reliability.
It's sturdy enough that I will be mounting my fridge to the top on the plywood, but it's light enough that I can take it out when I am going on trips (I have to use the 4runner's fun factor somehow)
I have just over 10k on my 4runner (my first), and it's offroad at least 3x a week. Never fails to amaze me.
Hurry up Shrockworks with your replacement bumper....

cool, does it stay in place in the back or move around? and do you have a link to where you got it from llbean?
 
Called llbean back.. They refunded me the difference on the price before and the clearance price. Score. Good company to deal with.
 
It fits pretty securely in the cargo area. I haven't had it slide around any. It fits flush against the back seat, or can be moved back so that the back seats can lean back. If you wanted to really secure it, it could be mounted to the sliding cargo tray or with turnbuckles to the cargo points in the rear.
 
Sorry. I have 4th gen. It doesn't have sliding tray. I also have my 33" spare tire in the back stand-up too. I have to measure the back when I get home today. If it fit, I will order one.
 
Thanks for the info. Placed order with llbean. Too bad not available in black (i checked with sales rep), but at $215 shipped (free shipping, but $15 for freight), I am not complaining...
 
I have this same cargo box and I really like it, can't beat the price either.

I think I would find a way to make sure it was secured properly no matter how heavy or light it may be. God forbid you were to get in a role over, this could very well be the flying object that kills you….it's happened before. :( The last thing I want my tombstone to say is "killed by Cargo Caddy".

There are 4 bolts under that black liner on the floor that I have mine strapped to.

I have this same box. Have had it a year or two, but haven't secured it yet. Any advice on the best way to secure it without having to drill through the truck? Not sure I know what 4 bolts you are referring to. I have an SR5, therefore do not have the sliding tray. Don't want to do anything that will make it extremely difficult to move either.
 
4Runner for a mobile vet

Sorry to dig up an old thread, but how do you like the 4runner for vet work now that some time has passed?

I spent the OP a pm to his inbox asking some specifics about doing mobile vet work out of the 4runner.
