Thread: It's Pop-Top Time. Interior storage ideas?

This looks fantastic. I wish I was in NSW

I have cut the floor in my 110 and recessed an under floor storage box between the chassis rails. It's made of galvanised tin (professionally) and cost about $100. The floor panel screws over the top. This means that a whole lot of spares can be tucked away and saves a box space in the back. The box needs to clear the tailshaft & muffler, but it's deep enough for parts. I've since put a drain hole in it with a bung, after getting water into the back floor on the Cape York crossings.

I've also seen underfloor storage in the driver and passenger footwells, but I have the acoustic mat, so haven't bothered with that location.

Other storage option are the under cubby safe and an overhead centre console.

Another idea would be to replace the back seats with the new Exmoor Trim bucket seats, but just get the (R) and (L), giving you a centre corridor. They're just under $1K ea landed from the UK (quote from Karcraft). You can fit seat organisers on the back of the buckets for additional storage.

Fitting a mesh against the inside of the rear windows (where you don't have the hatch) provides security, but also somewhere where you can attach light stuff with ocky straps. I haven't done this, but I have bungy cord woven through my cargo barrier on the passenger side, this is a good place to get a pillow out of the way, or a raincoat or a jumper. I even keep the small light weight first aid kit there for quick access on a trip.

The front runner water tank under the LHS guard will save you the space of a couple of jerry cans.
