Can you post a pic of it in the jeep?

Also, how wide did you make it? I'm making one soon here, and here are some thoughts I had, I'd love your view/opinion:

The floor seems mostly flat, but there are "bumps" just inside the wheel wells. I'm not sure whether to build the box wide enough so that it sits ON the bumps, or INSIDE the bumps. What'd you do?

My plans (for now, at least :S ) are to build a box that WOULD sit on the bumps... but remove the floor carpet piece, and strategically place 4ish rubber "blocks" so the box will "float" slightly above any metal pieces on the floor. I'm planning on removing the 2 front-most cargo hooks, and screwing the floor of the box to the floor using those bolt holes.

Design sketches to follow...

IT SITS INSIDE THE SUB AND THE WHEEL WELLS WITH ABOUT 5 INCHES OF SPACE ONT HE LEFT SIDE



I LEFT THE SPACE SO I COULD STILL PUT GROCERIES AND 2X4'S ETC. W/OUT HAVING TO UNLOCK AND LOCK THE BOX.

Crud. I just realized I can't see the dang pics. I have to wait to get home and on the lap top. This is killing me.
