Line-X'd my Interior (1 Viewer)

[ChefFJ]

Well.... a part of it atleast.....





This project has taken around 100 hours of rewarding labor over the past few months but I think it was worth it.

Whole thing started on my last outing when I was frustrated with not being able to easily reach anything in the cargo area, atleast not past the wheel wells. Plus I just couldnt keep things from shifting around. So a cargo organizer with deep drawers was necessary. So thanks to Mud I found a number of ideas that I wanted to incorporate. eBay was a huge help too..... the slides, tie downs, inverter, complete OBA set-up, and all the electrical do dads all came from there at huge savings.... the 500# slides alone would normally be $75-100 each... I scored them for $80 for the set of 4. The drawer handles/locks came from Allegis.com. The whole box is made from 3/4" pirch plywood and every inch was treated with either Line-X or a clear conversion varnish to protect from moisture issues.

This description could go on forever so I'll just let the pics speak for themselves....






















And a teaser pic of my current project.... anyone have a guess what it is??

I would guess speaker enclosure for doors, all I can say is that is awesome, very clean and functional and though I wont be doing subs if I wanted to that would be the way!

Looks great. What is under the amp?

Sentry Auto Safe..... When the seats are in the upright position you can't tell that something is hidden under the box. Figured a safe there would be less likely found in the case of a break-in. Small unit.... but just big enough to hold my Glock 23.

Please show more of the front door speaker pods. These look really good!

That has to be one of the cleanest rear cargo boxes I've ever seen.

I normally don't care for rear cargo boxes, but I would not complain if I had that in the back of my truck!

 

[lndcruz]

Wow. Your setup is really the only rear storage system I have actually cared for. Very clean looking.

 

[mshelby]

I am about to start working on a setup very similar to yours except where the subs are it will be just another shelf with a hinged lid.

Very clean

 

[bigbluefj]

look forward to see how the doors turn out looking good!!

Nice setup! I just picked up a FZJ80 yesterday and am doing a similar setup for my front speakers. Here's a pic of my old setup on my Taco

 

[Sanchez]

That is a slick set up man!

This is almost identical to what I had in my 4Runner. Loved it. Great soundstage. But I really didn't feel that the Cruiser has the room to spare at the feet. This way I keep all of my foot comfort and only loose a small margin at my shin. Fair compromise. Guess I'll know for sure tomorrow when I get to install the speakers.
Update to follow.

I feel you on the leg room. Let me know how your sound turns out. Maybe I'll go a different route than kick panels. You do some sweet looking work!

 

[Jrob80]

Wow, that is awesome, I have been kicking around this idea and keep going back & forth on it. Any vibration issues with the subs and the back seats?

Really cool I will be starring at these picks all day!

 

[ozarkroozer]

Nice!! Good spot for the power inverter, I'm stealing your Idea

 

[gotmud]

I'm certainly jealous! I need my third row (4 kids) so that is out of the question for me

 

[CreeperSleeper]

I think that is one of the best looking boxes I have seen... Mine is the ugliest but it was really cheap to build! LOL

 

[AppleTech]

Really nice - definitely gives me something to think about for version 2.0 of mine!

[UncleJesse]

Can't believe I'm about to say this, but dude you got a nice box.

Do you get any unwanted rattle from the subs? Anywhere in the box or the content of the the drawers?

 

[Tapage]

and I was happy with my kenwood sub in my cargo area ..

really nice cargo setup ..
