Extended cab pick up “back seat” tool box ideas.

[GA Groundcare]

Hello!

 

We have just bought an Isuzu D-Max extended cab and where the mini back seats are we want to build in a tool box / proper storage area. 

Anyone done this and have any inspirational pictures? Or know where something off the shelf that suits can be purchased? 

 

Doesn’t have to be specifically on a D-Max, any King / extended cab will suffice ?

If I go down this route I’ll probably just knock some ply shelving up like Reg has done.

Mine will have to incorporate a dog nest as well!

Also following with interest.

No Stella fridge?

Just a warning to all who do this, you must tell your insurance company you have added shelves and racking or in the event of a claim, they will invalidate it!

Good point Dan.

 

I bet they would then increase the premium.

 

The argument that passengers might be more valuable than tools probably wouldn't wash with them.

Sorry to hear about that Dan.

 

In your case, was the reason for the claim attributed to the modifications or unrelated to them?

Nothing happened to me. It was to a mate  who had an accident, side swiped someone on motorway. The said because he has not informed him of the modification, they only paid out for the damage to the other vehicle.

That's not so bad then.

 

I have written off a few vehicles over the years, and in at least two cases I am not sure the anyone from either insurance company bothered to look at them before decreeing the scrap sentence.

All i know is they sent an assessor out to look, he must have flagged it up.

He tried to fight it, but the small print clearly stated about failure to notify modifications etc. He has moved companies now
