I'm just getting going on a HDJ81 overland build for a South America adventure. I'm going to start a build thread soon but I've been super busy and have a vacation coming up.
Anyway, I keep reading that I want some hidden and lockable storage on my rig somewhere. Large enough for electronics and documents, money, passports ect. I am building a drawer system/sleeping platform, and my first idea was to incorporate it into that but now I have a different idea.
What about a Wagon Gear/Trail Taylor tailgate storage system, but with a layer of thick carpet over the whole thing so it hides the seems? I'd have to figure out some sort of hidden latch release, but that shouldn't be too bad. I feel like even if I am being held up at gun-point while my rig is ransacked, the average South American criminal isn't going to find it.
If anyone else has any other ideas for hidden storage, I'd love to hear them.
