howdy, since i started my build iv wanted more storage so i made a set of rear draws i guess u can call them.

since i knew i wasn't going to rush them i placed a rubber tray Mat in the back so i didn't completely ruin the rear with tools.

that weekend i headed to bunning and purchased three sheets of chip board and a boxx of screw and some glue. this is where knowing people counts haha think that cost me all of 100 bucks and i put it down as a business expense :thefinger:.

then i started to fab it up after work, joy of being a tradie ... having every tool i could need including me haha

once i had a base i decided how high i wanted it and decide that by using my tool box it gave me a easy way to remove and change it.

once i had fixed it in place i started on the other area. i made up a draw and three boxes that sat between the tool box and the draw, then gave it a quick coat of paint

after it was half built i found that the center boxes where the right size for jerries haha

after placing box back inside i found that it missed the closed rear door by mms and that it actually sat on a slope meaning that everything would slide towards the front, simple fix was to place a length of 70 by 45 on its side and bolt it down to the floor though the old holes used for the seats.

with that problem solved it was fixed in place with two Tex screw to stop it bouncing and it was left like that for a while.

after a long time thinking i carpeted it and made it look all fancy :rofl:

now that its finished i put in place for the last time , i attached a fire extinguisher to the door and am planning to make a rear table. the esky is help down with blind tie downs that fold flat, the toll box holds all my gear like sand flags and recovery straps and bits and pieces like replacement bits and bobs.

theres area down the sides for stuff then there is still the holes in the sides that are there for other shit basically and all behind the seats too.

Very nice! What's it weigh approx? Will be saving this for a bit of inspiration when I finally do mine if that's all right!

haha most certainly mate, and on the weight i only used two of the three sheets, and fully made unpacked i could lift it so im guessing around the 30-40kgs as it wasn't a huge weight to lift.

Works well and I just used some lite chane to hold the jerries in place as a safety thing they are fairly snug though

is it hard to lift the jerries out once there full?

Iv found its easier to like open them so they lose the pressure they have built up then they slide straight out : P

Hey mate,

Nice job, just wondering if theres any fumes etc from having the jerries inside with you? Building some for a mate in a pajero wagon soon and was wondering what to do with jerries.
