We are planning either a 2 drawer system or a vertical slot system with pelican cases with a fridge freezer mount. On the sides a recovery gear stowage box and a 5 gallon water tank/can. All well secured for offroad.

next we are installing a dog guard to keep the gear from coming forward.

Will be sweet. I slapped together a shelf for my XJ out of pieces of wood I had laying around the house to experiment with what I liked. Still have to get spare tire and high lift out of way then I can start experimenting with sectioning and height. Is this a shelving you are making yourself or an aftermarket thing? Originally I was planning on using metal but the wood has been in there so long now and held up so well not so sure.

[Brad]

We are going to use wood for the box and main drawer covered in carpet for sound deadenings, I am thinking of using a African wood for the drawer fronts just to add a nice touch.

Brad, whats the overall detail? what all will be incorporated into the setup? anything serving dual purpose?

[Brad]

There will always be dual purpose. I like some of the ideas the Drifta guy has come up with:

i really like the slide outs that can be used as tables. I am also looking to add a pit posse drop down shelf on the door, safety grid over the back window:

which can have stuff hung from it, like this:

We have been slowly accumulating our ultimate first aid kit with advice from Pete and Big Ed.

Of course! I have a cross post on the storage solutions forum. Hence some of my ideas. The exact layout is still up in the air.
