Hi all,
I am sure I have heard that asked of me at some stage!
But what I am actually after is advice from anyone who has made there own cargo drawers.
We have a 2010 Hilux dual cab, that we were thinking of getting rid of when the lease ran out, but with the recent changes and being too damn happy with the tug, we will keep it. With the van on the way, we will be doing (hopefully) a bit more touring so want to set the tug up a bit better.
I am reasonably handy, and am not prepared to spend $2500 on pre made ones. Can anyone offer thoughts and suggestions before I go about trying to make some. I am thinking of making up in 12mm ply to be nice and strong, will cover with marine carpet. Am thinking of making it in two halves as we have a canopy so need them to go in and out without having to resort to taking the lid off! Do they have to be secured to the tray or is the weight of the units and what they have in them enough? If have to be secured, how should I do this. This is the part I am not fond of having to do. It's ok if you stuff up on some timber, but not the car!
Have been reading @Stone Stomper s with envy, but just after any other ideas etc.
Any thoughts, advice and pics would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
BJ
