Rear Cargo Setups

Post pics of your boot!

I'm looking to add an air compressor, power inverter, storage for recovery gear and Engel 45 fridge. I've searched this forum and others, but only found a few pics.

TIA

Can your onboard air go under the hood?

A few pictures in my (Norwegian language) forum here. There's a link to a PDF file there somewhere too.

Not a DII, but you get the idea.

I have my onboard air on the rear drivers side. An 8" tall box with a Drawer and cubby. The drawer has HD sliders rated at 150lbs. The drawer serves as a quick access mess kit for lunches and such, while the cubby holds all the sleeping equipment. The box also serves as an anchor point for tying down the 4 pelican cases that usually ride on it. I also have an Olivares custom rear door table... Which is pretty much the best mod ever.

Love the SS rear door panel and drop down counter. Got any close up shots or a write up on the build?

 

[R_Lefebvre]

Yeah, that table is great!

I don't have any close ups just yet. I will post some up though inthe near future.

The table will also be featured in a future issue of Overland Journal. A step by step guide to how Marc builds it with a full materials list. He only built 4 and has thrown away the templates because he does not want to be tempted to build any more as it is really labor intensive to get it just right.

Andrew,

Here is a Steve Rupps site with some pretty detailed photos of his awesome rear door table, hopefully he won't mind and may chime in to tell about it.

When I first saw Mark's cool table I was *almost* jealous I didn't have a Disco. The Disco guys have got the rear of their trucks really figured out. Me? I just toss crap in there with boxes. I have to re-configure my truck constantly, and can't decide on any one specific way to 'organize', so I haven't done anything except just gut the rear and use it more like a pick-up bed.

I'd attatch a pic, but you can probably imagine what it looks like.

It took me three years to finally convince him I was worthy...

I don't think he is 100% convinced!!!

Michael I somehow always thought you would have your interior well organized considering the care that went into building your Land Rovers.

I like to play house when on the trail.

Here's a view of my Land Rover from the rear door. This is how it looks fully packed for a long trip. There is a place for everything & I try to keep everything in its place. yeah, I know, a wee bit anal retentive about keeping the living area of my Land Rover organized and tidy. The air compressor is at the right rear alongside the fold up jump seat.

Dinner preparation.

I can go from driving to camp set up within 2 minutes, rain or shine, light or dark.

Current view of the side of the cabinet next to the second sink. The green basket and cleaning supplies reside inside the first sink whilst on the trail. I made the knife holder a couple months ago. The knife retainer for the trail is not attached.

Do you have any photos of the way it's set up now and have you got any idea where you want to put the compressor or the Fridge, are you going to maintain the rear seat or will that be used for storage also.

I will be addressing these issues in the future.
