This next ghetto project might seem strange...but there's a practical reason.
My goal was/is to anchor two All-Boxes in place of the second row 60% seats...BUT....I want to retain the ability to open both boxes without removing them, and right next to my fridge on the 40% side. This means they must be spaced apart very precisely or you can't unlock the latch. Also going to use them to sleep on.
So I did this (will refine/paint at some point, but I'm in a hurry)...
Cut a quick piece of 3/4 plywood to a rough shape and then traced around carefully placed footprints of each box (shorter box is to clear the wheel well)...
By creating a groove that fits their protruding, outer footprint...they are kept EXACTLY in place when tied down...retaining the ability to open their latches & room for the opening lids between them without having to untie or adjust.
The smaller footprint box is to deal with the wheel well...and the fact that it over-pals the edge is because I wanted it as far back from the front seat as possible, and also as close to the left passenger door as possible. The gaps allow opening clasps without removal.
Later I trimmed the extra off of the front (closest edge in photo--which hangs over the edge toward front seats, and over edge of floor toward passenger door so the smaller box sits level...
And...it worked.
