Rear cargo conversion (inspired by Kenny)

[crotchrocket]

Think i would go for alluminium chequer plate covered MDF (or similar) for mine, but i get the reasoning behind it!

I also like the mesh some people use over here, like a 2mm guage fence all along the inside and you can company that with brackets for tools / winches and bags for kit etc. Will find a pic



This is a netting version

would be a quality built in but removabld box with different size bins. That plastic coating is great stukk but stuff can slide all over the place. I also get annoyed by the noise of stuff sliding around and the increased echo factor. Perhaps there is a large plastic cargo box that would fit in the space

Well, then nonskid I put on the floor, nothing is sliding. For the sides, I like the cargo netting idea, use caribiners to attach stuff. Stuff swinging would be a bit annoying. We shall see. I did discover that I have a loose connection on my drivers front speaker, never noticed it till it was the only speakers I have connected.

Alright!!! I spent 6 hours today working on the back. I am 95% complete. I am going to strap the 6x9s down instead of mounting them. They will sit at the front end of the boxes I made. (not shown in photos in their final location) There is no room in the back, and they are too big for an overhead mount. So, under the boxes will be the drink holders. The boxes came out even better than I thought they would. The CO2 bottle fits like a dream. I found my CO2 extinguisher in the garage, went ahead and mounted that. The Tow strap will be strapped down as well. I fit the exhaust adapter for my jack under the rear potion on the passenger side. The amp mount came out good as well. I am pleased with the results. Here are some pics:

If you notice, the front of the boxes make awesome arm rests. I used outdoor carpeting instead of speak box carpet. It is sturdier, has a rubber backing, so deadens noise, its more comfortable as well. I hate carpeting, it takes forever, but I give myself a B+ on the carpeting job. Maybe an A-. I have had the same carpet on my back patio for 2 yrs, no fading, no ripping. Good stuff.
All together I have about 120 bucks, not including the 6x9s. I will finish up tomorrow. I am beat, 95 degrees, 110% humidity. I hate living in a swamp sometimes.
