i just saw this... very nice work

 

That is awesome, that gives me somethin to think about.

 

Cool mod man, I jus saw the thread link to it. Too bad i have jumpseats...hmmm

 

that looks awesome. Where did you get the carpet?

 

You can still do it with jumpseats. Its not as great, but it works

How thick is the MDF board? I want to do this to put my wires and strobes supplies in.. I was going to use some plywood. What would be a safe thickness to be strong but not to thick so as to loose all my storage space?

 

Looks good!! I did the exact same thing to hide my amps and then set my system on it

 

thanks 4 those dimensions there Tony. I wanna do somethin similar to that....now i have a reference to go by.

 

Me too^ thanks. Looks good.

Wow this thread is old.

 

hmm that actually is a good idea... i might do it just for extra storage space.

 

I have no need for jump seats, but do need extra cargo space. So out with the jump seats, jump seat seat belts and jack. In their place I fabbed up a new rear panel and an extended cargo floor to cover the hump where the jump seats were.

The rear panel is Masonite and the cargo floor is MDF. The rear panel is made up of the top portion of the original panel and the Masonite extension. The patch in the center of the top part of the rear panel is cut from the bottom part that was cut away and discarded.

The patches for the seat belt holes in the rear doors are cut from that same scrap panel.

The cargo floor bolts in solid using the same mounting points as the jump seats, using stainless button-head allen bolts. It extends to a point just in front of the lap belt attachment points for the front seats. Both front seats can be put all the way back and fully reclined and not hit the floor extension. Everything is carpeted to match the original carpet as close as possible.

Here's a couple of pics:

 

^^^^^ that looks really nice. Good job....

 

sorry to ressurect this old a$$ thread but does anyone have these dimensions since the uploaded pictures gone i need just rough dimensions so i dont go wasting MDF cutting it wrong.Thanks Dave

 

AnyBody ttttt....

 

I would say just measure your truck. and if you don't trust the measurements then mock it up out of cardboard. I do that all the time

 

gotta love cardboard, always good for somethin and never a shortage

 

God I am an idiot i maintain multimillion dollar aircraft you would think i could build a box out of wood.

Thanks guys didnt even think about the cardboard mockup.

 

I use mine to store junk. Handy mod I must say.

 

^^^^ That's really slick!! I like! :)


Ok. Finally got mine in working model form. I'm going to paint the bottom gray and carpet the top to keep stuff from sliding. Installed my amps inside too.

Check it out.

"One of the pics has dimensions"

How can I see these pictures? I cant find em!!

 

wow, did you by any chance see the date on this thread?

 

You're going to need a time machine to 2006. If you want to built a platform in the back of your truck its really easy, just measure with a tape and then fit it in and trim to make it fit perfectly. It actually is quite square in the back of the ranger.

 

I don't see any pics,

 

 

you are right no SHERLOCK, the bastards DEAD, again where is the damn pics, LOL
