    Crappy cell phone pics but I built a rear platform in my AC to mount a fridge/ freezer for camping and lockable/ secure storage. The seats can go all the way to the rear position since I'm 6"2" and need the legroom. Added some simple pull out drawers underneath to clean it up a bit.

    Let me see if I have more pics on my phone. I basically just used a cardboard template and cut it out of 3/4 MDF.

    Here is the only other photo I have. I used pocket holes to join the two pieces of wood and used spray adhesive, staples and automotive carpet from autozone to finish. I drilled two holes in the top, center of the platform to run longer bolts into the holes where the seat belts used to go. Between those bolts and the front seats, the platform has no way it can move. Cardboard and a sharpie are the most important tools in this project.FullSizeRender.jpg
