Creative storage UNDER your rig???

[1leglance]

So recently I have been spending some time under my 1970 Suburban and figure there is alot of unused space....
The question is WHAT to put WHERE?
And of course please keep in mind we have those lovely Border Patrol check points and I do enjoy trips to Baja which means anything I put under my rig needs to be easy to open/show that is contraband free.

I already have plans to install my Extreme Outback system under the rig.

I was thinking a box for spare fluids maybe...oil/trans/gear bottles.

Maybe a water tank to keep that wgt low.

Spare parts box for those things I would only need if I broke down.

So anyone and everyone please show off any under rig storage you have put together.

Welllll....
I have 2 air tanks for a combined storage of ~5.5 gallons at 120 PSI.

I wouldn't put parts under their since you might not be able to get them in a break down. Example......in a mud pit.

Auxiliary fuel tank for more range!

I was thinking about mounting an Odyssey battery between the composite bed and fender of my Tacoma but haven't gotten around to it. They make some narrow models that should fit. I think I could get a .30 cal ammo can in there too but it wouldn't be easy to get in and out. Of course after some thought I figured it'd be easier to cut the bed from the inside if I wanted to add more storage openings. I've also thought of having an air tank built that would fit in that area between the bed and the quarter panel.

In my Westy, I have spare cables and belts under the cooler. You have to remove the vent to get to them but they're there if needed.

I had a small 2gal air tank there on my 84 toy pickup for OBA. I used 5/8" aluminum fuel piping from a race car supply shop and brass JIC-10 fittings from a plumbing shop (same as -10AN racecar stuff, but 1/4 the price). I installed a pressure relief valve and a water drain just like the home and contractor compressors.

My 80-series has the same size 2 gal tank under the drivers seat bolted to the side of the frame rail, tucked up nicely.

Here's one idea from FullSizeBronco.com: http://www.fullsizebronco.com/forum/showthread.php?t=27362
or just the photos: http://www.supermotors.net/registry/4970/20792-2

It was designed to be hidden (obviously not what you want) but without covering the compartment with carpet or by adding a door, it might work if your Suburban has a similar rear seat riser.
