access cab extra storage

Hey guys i did a search but couldn't find anything about this. Has anybody cutout this area in the backseat of their access cab and/or made some kind of storage container to fit this area in order to gain storage space? Seems like a good idea to me, was wondering if anybody else has done it.

 

Not a fruitful space to exploit in terms of storage. The drive shaft hump continues through there. Better to focus your creative energies on designing a shelf or cabinet storage bin that resides above that platform.

 

wow that picture is extremely helpful thank you! looks like ill have to refocus my efforts...
well thats the kind of thing i wanted to get out of this thread. thank you!

 

I thought about trying to do a pull-out rack system back there. It'd be kinda cool to have a pre-cut tray for various tools, or a long single rack for a gun.

 

I'm on the same boat. Baby seat and all.. took the whole back out to find that ot was too shallow to do anything..especially with the car seat..

 

Ooh well my bad but i actually just pulled that pic from the internet.. Im 20 and am thanking the lord everyday for the fact that i don't have to tote a carseat around..

Yup.. the goal was to store a long gun in there.. where did you end up putting yours?

 

In that case do a cust job take it all out and build sky os the limit.

 

Heyyyyy now there's an idea

 

I am going to go with an overhead console hanging vertically and maybe seat covers with pockets to use that space. The shelf will hold a fridge great, or an aluminum lock box. Plenty of hard lash down points.

have you found anything other then those smittybilts? i heard they werent that good but it seems like an awesome idea

 

Here is what I made for extra cab storage

 

Very Smart. Great use of the upper-flat-platform, and the uneven body metal below. makes sense.

 

Thanks. I don't take anyone in the back when off roading so I wanted a safe place to store tools tow gear and things. Tons of room I am very happy with it.

 

I think it's just the seat cover stitching that's weak - everything else about their stuff is pretty bullet proof. I just like the thought of compartments and pockets rather than rummaging around in a bin, but I have to admit that HBTaco02's built in deal with the locking lids is EFFIN SWEET.

 

Hey nice job man that looks great! i like what youve done there!

 

Thanks.....

 

Nice work !

Where did you find the hatches and frames?

 

I just welded some square tubing and covered it with marine plywood and indoor outdoor carpet. Tha hatches are marine storage covers from a boat hardware supply shop.

 

Thats for heeps, it attaches to the factory roll cage. Where are you planning to attach it to?

 

I can see screwing it to the back wall there somehow - not a difficult problem to overcome.
