That is impressive OP.
3 questions- 1. What fabric did you use? 2. Where did you get it? 3. What did you glue it down with? Thanks in advance |

Looks like you did a pretty good job covering them.
I'm sure that carpet is not super forgiving on corners and angles. I've done a few things on a few Custom Car Audio systems (Enclosure, consoles, door panels, etc..) and I'm not as good at it as I'd like to be. I've seen shops build and carpet boxes that didn't come out that good. |

The cuts around the locks was a pain in the butt. |

I'm impressed. My carpet skills are severely lacking.

I keep waffling on building one for my FJ.
I've got a removable toolbox big enough for the essentials including my battery chainsaw but drawers are cool... |

I like it much more now. (Although I need to get the tire built onto a rear bumper). MUCH better than the totes I would use. Things are 'in place' now and I don't have to worry about it. |

Looks great. I love my drawers and would add them much higher on the list for another build.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Idahobound: can I submit an addendum to your propane tank mounting? That propane tank looks like it could become a projectile in a crash by slipping out of that strap. I would suggest using either: a cage divider to block the passengers from cargo, or strap the bottle down and put something through the handles or use a cargo net. You do not want to get into a crash, and have a propane bottle become a projectile. My opinion. Like the boxes, and when I figure out what truck / SUV I want, I will purchase some, as my wood working days are mostly over. Nice job, and good luck. Perfect concern for the tank. I did look at this for that reason as well. (Also in the event I roll). On the bottom of the tank, at both sides where it meets the box, is a mechanical metal that hooks through the base of the bottle and connects to the box. Its kind of hard to see in the picture, but you can kind of see where I went with it. To load the tank I lay it down and put the hooks in the bottom of the tank - rotate the tank to standing - strap in. So the hooks go in parrarell with the base, and once rotated they are opposite of one another to avoid coming out of the tank. If that make ant sense describing it... |
