The "Mini Mi" BOX

First off I'd like to thank a few guys who inspired me to go forward w/ this project. LandCruiserSteve and Corey. Thanks a lot guys. It was your projects that inspired my own.

Here's the completed box. I went w/ a box only 7'' tall and the drawers are 5.25" tall. Mainly because I have a 130lb American Bulldog I haul around w/ me and I wanted to give him plenty of room.


The front portion has a carpet that goes over it, but it got wet in the rain. I'll update a picture later.


Last one. I moved the tie down points to the top of the box and used the original holes to fasten the box down to the truck body.


This is the false floor that covers the folded down seats. It's easy to remove when I have additional folks to ride in the back.


A side profile of it. The foot on the right is what levels the floor area.


One of two Footmans loops to attach the floor to the box. Compliments to Steve. I had never heard of one of these prior to his build. This was the hardest to track down of all the hardware. Try a Sail Boat specialty shop.


The back of the box. This shows the ledge again and the footmans loops. You'll notice I removed altogether the angled piece of plastic that sits between the cargo area and the seats.


A beauty shot. The drawers are 29" deep


Just another shot showing the drawer slides ((Blum Slides))


And another


Drawers Completed
Top Shelf

Underneath

Air Tools and Tire Kit


And one of the many reasons for the build.


If anyone has questions about measurements or anything at all feel free to inquire. I'll be happy to post plans for it.

Plans!

Re: The "Mini Mi" BOX

Ahhh, it's so I can still have access to my outlet back there. But I'm sure I'll come up w/ some crafty item to stash in that space

Stupid me. I totally forgot about the outlet, and I even have one. The box does look great.

My pleasure, Silverdusk. Yours came out great!! Matter of fact, it kinda looks like my contraption and Corey's got together and had an offspring. "A chip off of the old box," if you will. (But, don't be expecting any child support. )

Looks great. I found a fire extinguisher that fit perfectly into the recess on the right side.

Re: The "Mini Mi" BOX

Nice work Silverdusk, one of these weekends when it's not so hot and nasty humid up here I'm gonna do the same.

Question, do you have drawer locks to prevent the drawers from slightly opening and banging into the rear door on the truck everytime you accelerate from a stop?
