I'm looking to purchase a Super Cab in the near future as a DD. I don't plan on carrying more than 1 other person in the car, so I'd like to get rid of the jump seats. I would like to install a big lockable storage box so I can lock up my work laptop and keep other things out of sight, but secure.

Any ideas? I searched, but did not find any threads where someone had done this.

Thanks!

 

If you want to build something check this out.

There was also a guy who used a military ammo storage box mounted in the jack location I think for storage.

Here's the one I just finished.

 

Thanks for those links! That's a quite an improvement over what I was looking to do.

I found this a few minutes ago: http://www.tuffyproducts.com/p-275-2...-lock-box.aspx

Any experience with those?

 

That's pretty cool but it says you must have a minimum order of 5.

 

hhey vh5150 would you be able to make another box like that?

 

Yea I missed that part! Found one specifically for laptops: http://www.tuffyproducts.com/p-256-1...y-lockbox.aspx

 

That price scares me!

 

I would want one that I can put more than just a laptop in. The one vh5150 made is perfect for what I want and it looks like he bought it.

 

I would have to say "probably not"--this one took most 7 years to finish! Not really-I started it when i got my '04 new, wasn't happy with how it was turning out, so I ditched it until this winter.
Not really that hard to build though. The main box is 3/4" MDF, glued and screwed. The rounded corners are some molded pieces that I got from Rockler. The lids are 3/4" AC plywood with a skim-coat of bondo. Everything mounts using the jump-seat bolt locations.
I just used some pretty basic power tools-circular saw with guide, jigsaw, router, drill, screwgun. Key is to lay everything out and have a game plan.

I'm not much of a builder but I'm gonna try to find someone local to make one for me

i've got an ammo box also but it's just loose behind my seats, i keep my ratchet straps, some gloves, a hitch (which i'm taking out since i bought a better one) randomness. i bought it at princess auto for like $6 or $8.
