OK, have been wanting to tackle this one for awhile. Have been doing some searches, etc, please post any and all ideas, pics, links, whatever.
Here is what I am thinking. Full width (my spare is on roof rack) and full depth to seat. about 12" tall. Bottom and top, 1/2 plywood, side and rear 1x12's.
Then divided equally, three drawers made of 1x12 material. some sort of mounting system to remove.
The whole thing covered in grey cloth.
I am thinking angle BOLTED (NOT SELF TAPPED) angle iron, then a slip in and drop and pin setup. the ones by the seat would have holes, then a pin mounted on the box that fits into those holes, then push box forward into those holes, then back drop down just to fit into angle, with pin holes with a small hitch pin of some sort (still thinking this one thru)
a back lid that folds up to hold drawers shut, and also, this lid could flip down to be a work area/ eating area? (kinda small being 12") ideas?
The top is fastened down, (not a opening lid) because I will have stuff piled high on top like cooler, tent, camping gear, etc.
If it would hold, I am thinking some kind of fold out legs under that fold up under like a card table's. My only fear, is once I feel it with tools, straps, junk, etc, it may be to heavy to move AND for the legs to hold it. But it would be cool to take it out and use a camp table. Could even have sides and seat side that flip up (only 12") to make table that much bigger. Also I am not sure how these legs would hold up to being under the box during trial abuse (being crushed).
C'mon cuys, we can make the ultimate storage box, just start letting the brainstorm ideas fly. I can promise I won't slam ANY idea! just start typing.
I don't want to build this then think, I should have added this or that.
Thanks in advance,
Jason
