Thanks. I have been trying to figure out a better system myself. I like the Tuffy Box but it weighs around 70# dry. At least that is what I was told.

I just saw that 65swb45 has some bench seats with boxes from Conferr that only need upholstering on e-bay. or contact him directly.

this is what i used, www.knaackbox.com they have different lenghts and hieghts but it was about $105.00 with tax. fairly thick steel will keep the ohnest people out and slow down others

here is my homemade under seat (3rd row seat from 93 suburban) drawer. I used 100# drawer slides from home depot and welded up a drawer out of steel mesh and 4'"flat stock. The slides are bolted to the sides of the wheel wells and the lacth is a window security lock. It works great, stores alot and only cost about 30.00 in material. the removal suburban seat acts as a lid and pivots up if I don't want to slide the drawer out.

That is freakin smooth man, nice work.

here is a few shots of the drawer full of gear and of how it is attached to the inner fender wall. the other image is of the suburban seat folded in the up position.It is kind of like the stadium seating in a land rover; gives good visibility to the rear passengers. the middle pic also shows the quick connect attachment point to the suburban seat.

Search turned up huge amounts of info on 60, 62, 80 and 100 series....but nothing on 40s.

I'm looking for lockable storage for the rear of my 40 that is ~7 inches tall by ~41 inches wide that extends from just inside the rear doors to near the body to frame bolts in the rear floor (6/77 FJ40). That would be floor to fender height. Planning on mounting my Geo Tracker/Zuki Samuri rear seat on top of said storage box. Cruiser only has a full length bikini top, so I'd prefer metal over wood if possible. I'm getting a Tuffy console for Christmas (luv my wife!), but Tuffy has nothing that is FJ40 specific for rear storage.

Well here is an old post that I bringing up. Old post with pictures lost.

This is exactly what I am looking for. a box to go under a platform that will hold my geo rear seats. Anyone have pictures of the end result?

Thanks,

I've seen pictures of these tool boxes mounted to the wheel wells either on Mud or Expedition Portal, they appear to fit well, and I think would make decent arms rests, had there been a bench in the back.
