Thread: One of them storage thingies?

I should have said 7 seater Disco II

If you pull out the seats and make a false floor out of ply up to and in line with the wheel arches you will have a simialr storage area at the side and the benefit of under floor storage. I did this to my Disco when I had it. Less than $100 and look the part if covered in carpet from Clark Rubber.

However I have not had a close look at one of them. Are they a seperate item that you can affix, or are part of the moulding.

In other words, can a buy just the bin and fit it?

Thanks

If you pull out the offside/drivers side 7th seat (or 6th if you count in that direction) you would have to remove the trim also to fit a LR storage bin - expensive - it would be easier/cheaper to just take out the seat and make up your own box.

The reason I suggest the offside/drivers side is IF you have rear Air Con, you wouldn't make too much space if you did the nearside/passenger side

Hi John
Unfortunately the 5 and 7 seaters are quite different.As others suggest it will be cheaper and offer more room to make your own setup.
Give serious consideration to a cargo barrier,in the event of an accident loose lugage can be lethal.

I've rung around Sydney and a few hundred klm's around and Melbourne trying to get the storage boxes and unique side trim panels to relace my 2 folding seats .........NO JOY!! ......it seems they were pretty flimsy and haven't lasted.

I suppose if it's only temporary, you could take out seats and fit carpet covered plywood panels .......all that luggage would hide your handywork?!?
