Default Building Storage Box, What would you want yours to have? Give Input.

I'm planning to build a storage box this weekend for my JK. I want something secure for my gear when I have my soft top down and a place to keep things organized and not shoved under me seat or in a bag.

My Idea:

-100% secure
-Removable when not needed
-Flip lid w/ tray (dividers for gear, also removable when you need to carry large items in box, or carry tray to camp site or job site)
-Carpet inside box and diamond plate top (clean looks)
-Flip up floor to get to storage area
-Tie downs to mount cooler or other item's to top of box
- Hi Lift jack mount on top (you see what I mean when pics are taken)


Any suggestions to make it better?? What would you like in a detailed organized storage box for your JK??

Def. waterproof! Lockable (secure). Maybe "rhino-lined"( interior). Maybe some bracketry or something to secure it to the floor (no drilling just to be able to mount it where the seats clamp to floor).

Default Storage Box Built 1

So here it is!!! First, thanks to my DAD for all his help on this! It is not complete but you can see what it looks like and how it works. I still need to install latches, carpet, lights etc......

The flat part behind the hinge on the top is where the high lift jack will be mounted, the fold down front will have supports to act as a tailgate.

Any other ideas you have to improve it, please let me know!

I like the design. I assume the hole in the floor is for the factory storage space. Will the factory lid still work?
