Interior storage

[DallasTahoe]

So I've got her almost ready to go, just gonna throw on some new upper ball joints and an alignment. But I need more storage without being too obtrusive to the interior. Under the rear drivers side seat is taken with my amp, so I'm looking at my barn doors. On my Tahoe I made a bs small compartment for little stuff like dog leashes and tampons for the wife lol, but that's not gonna fly on my Yuk. So being a woodworker I'm going to make something for both doors, I won't be cutting into the doors to use the interior space of them, just something to replace the carpeted area. I've already decided that under the rear passenger seat I'll keep a toolkit, but what else should I keep in the truck? I'm thinking an ax, a small military shovel, a tow strap, jumper cables, a 1st aid kit, And a jack, anything I'm missing? Keep in mind it will be an everyday driver with occasional full family use and two dogs in the back, ideas??

the list sounds right but you should have the factory jack in the rear rear side of cargo. there is some space on the left as well. how about flares or reflectors? what will be in the tool kit?

Don't forget the aircompressor/jumper pack, tubeless tire repair kit and a blanket

The jack will go under the back seat next to the tool kit, basically a full tool kit with sockets and wrenches, pliers etc. not worried about a jumper pack as I have a second battery that I'm setting up now. Tire kit and flares sound good, a blanket is a must! Didn't think about an air compressor I'll get a small one that runs off of the cig lighter, also thinkin a firestarter

I saw a guy post about putting in ammo cans, thought about it, but it will need to be removable and can't be bulky

some lighting.

Flashlights are automatic, but maybe some more exterior...

Ammo, don't forget ammo...

Hmmmm don't own any guns, but bottle rockets and Roman candles can set it off pretty good !!!

So I haven't bought any of the items needed for survival, I have however found something to hold a majority of it in, I bought one of the ridgid 22in storage cases from Home Depot today and made a mount for it on the drivers side barn door and I'll be making another storage bin on the top of my speaker box to hold other necessities

wonder if the bass will make the contents rattle.

 

[DallasTahoe]

Probably not, I don't listen to anything that really bumps, mostly rock and blues

Ok here's an update, added some storage to my Yuk, I have one section with a door for things that are larger, and two open spots for other items, all of which are lined with rubber tool drawer lining, mounted it on top of my sub box to make use of unused dead space, also moved my spare to the right rear and strapped it down and added my Ridgid box to the back of the seat with a pair of straps for other items

Nice set up and love the wood floors. I need to get my 12"s install on the sides like yours. How did you come up with the box design and how did you seal the underside? I can build anything as long as it's not in wood lol.

Thanks man! As far as the design I tried not to take up too much space cuz I still need to use as much as possible on a daily basis, the front sides and bottom are mdf, the back is all fiberglass, and those are 10's in there now. I had to use what I had, if I had a 12 or 15 I would have made it for that, which I would have preferred but oh well, it sounds pretty good considering I didn't do any measuring for airspace. I'd like to do a new box and design maybe something where you couldn't see the speakers at all, so I wouldn't have to worry about damaging them or theft.
