I'm going to be putting a full-sized spare on my roof rack soon, and looking to do some serious upgrades to the storage area of my 5-seat 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport.
Once the spare is on the roof, this leaves a TON of empty space below the load area, and given that the Disco Sport already has so little interior storage, I don't want it to go to waste.
Other than just dumping stuff in there that has to be dug out, what are some ideas?
I'm thinking about possibly putting a water tank in there that would be plumbed to somewhere accessible for input and output, so I can build a permanent box in the load area, and don't need to access it.
Anybody done anything similar, or anything else?
The area in question stores a 30.5" x 10.7" tire and wheel snuggly, there's only a small flange in the bottom center for securing the rod that holds in the wheel. Or all the styrofoam bits can come out, leaving an open area about 38" x 34" x 11", but support would need to be added for the floor deck.
