Rear cargo box thread?

[jmferg]

Just a little peak at what I keep in my drawers. Essentially my mobile garage.
This only thing I need to add are a 35mm socket and dig my 1/2" drive breaker bar out of storage.
Aside from all the hand tools, there is an ARB bag full of recovery gear (tree saver, various length straps, shackles, frame hooks, etc). There is also an ez-deflator, smittybilt tire repair kit, small ABC extinguisher, jumper cables, electrical repair kit, various epoxies/rtv Sealant, first aid, electrical tape, cable ties, etc.
For camping, there are straps, butane lighters, matches, two flashlights, a poncho, a roof rack cargo net, gerber fixed blade, and trash bags.
It's pretty loaded down on the daily

Here's my super-simple build. The drawers just slide on the carpet. The original idea was to leave them out of the vehicle and simply slide them in for use. But, I just leave everything in there now. I will post pics of the contents, but the right side is all my offroading gear and tools, while the left side is empty (Full disclosure, my hi lift winching kit is in the engine bay ).

I made it such a low height because my dogs still ride on top of it. I measured the height of the tallest one and simply added 2 inches.

I only have roughly $90 into it, as it took about two full panels and $15 in drawer handles (one for each end of each drawer). That does include about $15 worth of 90-degree support brackets, but I think they were more trouble than they were worth.

The compressor is mounted on the right side wing, allowing it to pivot over to access the side storage compartment. All of my more generic emergency gear is in there or under the wings, so the more "hobby-specific" offroad gear and tools are confined to a single drawer.

The left side box is probably going to be used for cooking gear and other camping-specific supplies.

I just put the original carpet back on top, but lately I have been running with my wool blanket spread over the box and back seats. This protects them, slightly softens the ride for my dogs, and keeps me from having to use more storage for the blanket itself.

Oh, and the swing-out bumper was still mostly a work-in-progress in that last picture, heh.

Added a snap of the equipment drawer and my redneck tool tote .
