This pic will give an idea of storage capacity of the center section. I've got a 3+ season, 3-person MH tent, personal stove (which is all I use 90% of the time), hammock, goal zero lantern, BOB, first aid kit, and extra clothes. I still have plenty of room for a good size socket set.
I'll play around with some different combos of bags, tubs, and pelican cases until I get it the way I really want it.
On the left small side I have an ARB tow strap, camp ax, gloves, and a hitch. I can also fit my full size torque wrench and other long tools on the sides, including tool rolls once I get some.

Looks great! The carpet added a finishing touch!!

great job! I hope mine comes out as good. So far all I've done is order the parts to replace the subwoofer. It's just so darned HOT that I am not real motivated until it cools off a little.
If ORV made one for a two door I believe I would just go that route.

Honestly, I'm very glad that MTG talked me into making my own. I think mine is probably stronger than the ORV and all in, it cost me about $90 to get all of the materials. The difference in savings alone is almost enough to buy an ARB fridge.

Yep, at $789 + 49 for shipping the ORV is real pricey. So far I have $162.95 in the subwoofer relocation parts. I've been scouring the different forums looking at different implementations ranging from nice to the 1/2" warped plywood approach. I've got a few good ideas if I can just get them from my head to the finished product.

Deck looks great Sharkey, nicely done sir.

Understood. Having done it, I think the starting place has to be figuring out how you want it to actually tie into the floor.

Pretty sure I'm in the red on consulting fees. :yup:

Looks like I found a perfect size pelican box for the center section. The external size of the box is 6.93" and my deck sits at about 7" underneath. Pelican's are crush-proof and waterproof. So, all of my important gear will stay dry and the boxes will add support for the deck. I can fit two side by side turned lengthwise and still have quite a bit of room for other trip specific stuff.

I agree with you on that. figuring out how to tie it down may be the hardest part. I'm pretty I'll have to drill a few holes.
What's next on your list?

I bought some craftsman rolls for wrenches. They hold enough wrenches and I have one for standard and one for metric. They won't hold more then 8mm to 18mm though so I have 19's and 21's in my toolbag. I have seen some like what MTG has on eBay and Amazon but haven't bought any yet.
I too am looking for a roll that will hold crescent wrenches and the like.
