Rear cargo security system
UPDATE: on post #18 12FEB2013
I've been on photobucket trying to rotate and resize these for almost an hour and I'm done playing on the computer so here is a link to the photos...

Ok, so we've got a big wide open rear cargo area but sh!t rolls around and there's no way to organize stuff. ARB offers a solution starting around $1100 and the prices go up from there ARB Drawers | ARB 4x4 Accessories
Tuffy makes some hardcore stuff that our SWAT guys use and this stuff is made tough https://www.pro.tuffyproducts.com/p-322-custom-heavy-duty-truck-bed-security-drawers.aspx but it starts around $1600 or so for custom made cargo since they only have premade kits for popular America LE vehicles.
Mine is filling the entire rear area starting from the back of the rear seats and going to the rear hatch, and will be 14" high of usable interior drawer space (I can't remember the exact specs). I wanted enough height to be usable space and still allow my German Shepherd to sit on it and not feel smashed between the head liner. I will have mine mounted to the truck by drilling 4 mounting points down through the floor with the bolt heads under the drawer incase anyone got the nuts off they wouldn't be able to pop the bolts out of the holes without removing the entire drawer.
The skeleton of the box is constructed from 16 guage square tubing of various sizes depending on the funtion of it in the construction. The skin of the box and the drawer is 16 guage cold roll steel. There is a three point flush mount T-handle locking mechanism and the drawer slides I will be using are Accuride or Kape and Vogt extra heavy duty slides. It will have a seal around where the drawer and box mate to keep dust and what not out (you guys that have also been in the sand box know how sand gets into any small crevice) mine will have towards the front of the drawer three equal length area's for .308 and 5.56mm magazines and the next row will be the width of the drawer and maybe 5 inch deep to accommodate an AR15 or SCAR17 sized rifle.
Cost will vary on how large you want yours and how stout you want it made.
If you have interest in having one made for you let me know.
