Nice pics guys, I was wandering around Walmart while the wife was bethink groceries, here is what I came up with, store brand card table 20"x48" metal frame plastic top, I can cut legs down or when make the stow able to reattach, then I figure I can throw a sheet of thin diamond plate on top for grip, I also figured. 3 of a certain type Rubbermaid bins with lids will fit
So if it worked total is like $60-70 without diamond plate
I figure 1 bin for stuff like first aid, power inverter tp etc, one for winch/ recovery stuff, one for fluids/ breakdown items
Light water resistant bins I can remove , flat light shelf I can stack stuff on, also I can make it low like street wolfs for wife to get her grocery area back
Dusty those would be nice to find 4 for $25

I measured today and that table fits perfect with the 2 nd row seats in the normal position if I cut the legs short like I plan so it is a matter of finding exactly what " totes" will fit in that space
Any other pics of what you guys have done?

OK so here is what I worked out
2 Rubbermaid bins, Lowes
2 hefty bins Lowes
1 24x48 Rubbermaid table, Walmart?
This is the ruff idea, front of table sits on the wheel wells, I will need to support it on the sides later for more permanent, but for now it is what I needed, think if I lay the seats down I will have a large flat cargo area much better the fold tumble oops seats in my way still
Containers have stuff I always carry, can always take more now if wanted, best part table can be removed and used trail side for BBQ or whatever

That's correct, the drawers and everything we built from scratch. Cost about $120 total for wood materials if I remember correctly. I could drive over the drawers with my Disco however and they would hold up.
Man, I keep scaring at my scrap sheetmetal and the 48" pan break at work just itching to back my truck I to the warehouse and start fabbing some drawers/shelving. At that point id have to make a rear doorcard and my rear storage panels. So much metal, so many options. Think ill just goto lowes and copy you.
