thx138 Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 I love having all the room in my wagon but dont like the lack of storage. So I had a plan to build a platform and drawer combo. The top is 43" wide and 36" deep with 250lb drawer slides, there are 2 storage totes on the drivers side and their messurements are 25" x 17-9/16" x 9". the platform is about 2" lower than the second row folded down as in the pictures, i will be building a small box to bridge the gap between the starge and seat then having a 2" foam cussion made so my dogs have room to lay back there.

jrm223 Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 Pretty sweet set-up! I've had ideas twirling around in my head for my panel van for better storage and organization. For now, I'm using a mid-size pick-up aluminum toolbox that's strapped long-ways into the van so it doesn't move around. My plans are to create an aluminum diamondplate bulkhead & custom toolbox in the back - I should pick-up some sheets of cardboard or Lauan plywood to test-fit and create templates... Any plans to fill-in the gaps on the sides so your dogs don't get their legs stuck? Maybe some of the panel rigid insulation from Home Depot/etc cut down to fill the gap perfectly? My old Doberman got himself caught in my extended-cab Ranger once, so that's why I ask George 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

windguy Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 nice job - I like the modular design and craftsmanship. do you plan to finish it for added protection? PS - I'm behind in the times. I had to search out who Chewie is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarbukaDave Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Looks great! Is the box bolted in somehow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thx138 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 I didn't get notification of replies to this tread so sorry for being late. Pretty sweet set-up!

My old Doberman got himself caught in my extended-cab Ranger once, so that's why I ask I plan on using foam to fill the gaps on the sides once everything else is complete. Very nice, where did you get the sliding hinge and hardware? The slides came from Rockler and the latches from Amazon. nice job - I like the modular design and craftsmanship. do you plan to finish it for added protection? PS - I'm behind in the times. I had to search out who Chewie is. It will be carpeted once completed. Looks great! Is the box bolted in somehow? Yes it is mounted to the holes where the third row seats bolt down.

Slonie Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 This is legit, good job! I'd like to do something similar in two parts so that one side can be removed for rolling a bike or two in alongside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kndlkstms Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Sweet Job , well done. I've seen commercially made "low" drawers for Pick-up beds and maybe TC's too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
