Thread: Has anyone....custom rear interior?

In the case of Camel Landy's pics the shelf/bin arrangement was done by Land Rover Special Vehicle Operations for the G4 event cars.
So does that make it built or modified?

Custom fit out is more the term, rather than build, as for Camel Landys custom, to me that is not a custom fit out, more the adding of a shelf.

A custom fit out is more like stripping out the rear of the car and building something more useful for touring, utilising the space more efficently, which I think is more what Hamish is looking for.

The other thing you can't see is that the load space protector is bolted to the far edge of the shelf and then the upper brackets bolt through the plastic trim, into some existing captive nuts (grab-handle I think).

The advantage of doing the load space protector this way is that you can still carry long items, just by dropping the rear seats.

Thanks....but not quite what I meant. In this picture I can see your bin, which sits in the oem dark grey interior plastic trim, and then above that is the light grey interior window trim. In the centre, you have your shelf. In that space I have a set of "drifta drawers" (www.drifta.com.au) and above that a modified fourby fitout frame.

I want to completely remove that dark grey trim (done a long time ago), and replace it with a ply box, which is "wider" (ie intrudes into the floor more by about 30mm, matching if you like the rear door width, and taller, in that it fits in with the light grey windrow trim panel. The desired result is more storage space, stonger boxes, not to mention a stop to that annoying plastic rattle. This will free up space for a water tank, a subwoofer, and dedicated recovery gear and parts storage.

To help illustrate this, the picture below shows a fourby fitout picture of a D2. I have this frame, but different drawers. Mine are two low drawers, with a fridge slide on top, with a wooden divider between the top of the drawers, and the drop down shelf.



I want to bring the side cubbies out to the metal frame legs, and up to the window trim, all the way to the cargo barrier......make sense?

A shelf and two small bins.

I had the rear bins out recently, and it didn't seem there was a huge amount of extra space. The back of the bins are very close to the body framing. The front edge has limited usable space due to the framing for the second row seat belt mounts and wheel arches. The only area there was substantial extra usable space was between the back of the bins and the door frame.

It's also worth mentioning the lower edge of upper trim sections clips directly onto the dark gray plastic of the lower trim, so you'd need to work out a way of securing those mounting points or your plastic rattles will be far worse than standard.
