I needed some way of storing my tools and recovery junk so I bought a Stanley rolling tool box, cut a couple slots in the bottom of it, and ran a ratchet strap through the back seat footman's loops.


The pull handle pushes in further,BTW, and I put on padlocks and Velcro'd them to the latches to cut out the rattling.

try mounting it under or behind the glove box. I saw a write up for that somewhere on here.

Well free for me ! had some extra leather and thin foam laying around. Ripped it apart and was careful not to stick the side sticky plastic pieces to the table , glued and stapled it to the cover .. works really nice. only thing i would have done different maybe a bit thicker foam but still works really nice and my elbow is happier!
