Here's my version of the BOX. Instead of doing a drawer set up, I went with a lid. I did this because I plan to mount the shovel and axe to the back of it under the top kind of where they are now with quick fists.
I made the bottom (compartment) smaller than the top to give me access to the electrical outlet in the bottom passenger side corner. It's not bolted down, I used a couple of 1" black ratchet straps to hold it.
The top extends over the driver side jack compartment so that I had to place to mount my cheap $50 compressor I got at Checker.
My plan was to make this so that it can be removed in a few minutes, if need be.
I also plan to build a platform that can be removed and that will extend out over the rear seat backs for camping trips, kind of like LandCruiserSteve's.
Let me know what you all think!
Here's what I came up with to mount the axe and shovel instead of using quick fists.
Nothing much to them except some 5/16" carriage bolts, nuts, washers and some bar knobs I got at Lowes.
There was already a hole in the axe handle, so I added another. With the shovel I put a hole in the handle and the shovel is actually held pretty securely in the strap.
