DIY Crewmax under seat storage

Under seat storage for Crewmax.
Time: about an hour between beer and other chores.
Cost: approximately $20.00

Let's begin:



Cut a piece of cardboard to desired size and use as template when cutting through carpet and Styrofoam.

Remove Styrofoam to expose floorboard. Clean up edges to ensure foam was cut straight and not at an angle.

I used 1x4 to build my frame. Measure opening Cut pieces and assemble using wood glue and brad nails. Note picture below for raised areas on floor board.
Trace raised areas with pencil and I used a jig saw to cut trace marks so board sat flush with the other sides.

Once I was happy with fitment, I painted boards with a flat black spray paint, not a perfect match but no one is really going to see it.

The carpet that was originally cut out I just cut 1 1/2 of 2 sides as I'm using 3/4 inch thick material.

Finished interior width.


Finished interior depth.

Total height is roughly 3 inches.
Works well with First aid kit, straps and misc things. A small 1/2 inch lid can be placed over and it will not interfere with seat folding back down.

 

Looks good! Are you going to add any others?

 

thats nice and clean lookin!

 

Thanks, yes will be adding a bigger one under the 60 seat. Don't have time now as trying to make sure everything is good incase we get hit with this hurricane.

 

Great work!

one of these would help with those raised areas. I use mine note often then I thought I would.
