Default custom cargo area

I think this is the right forum if its not im sorry i figured i started with nothing and built something so its fabrication

so i got tired of having a mess of my cargo area because i take alot of stuff with me pretty much everywhere so i decided to build a drwer and tool box into it.

Looks Good man. The only prob I see is metal tools rattling in the metal box. Idk that would bug me too much. Now don't get me wrong my **** rattles too but I think that'd make Alot of noise. And does it have a lock? If not how does the tool box stay closed on the trail? Other then those thinks I like the idea Alot!

ya the tools do get a little annoying but there packed so tight you only hear them over really big drops or bumps and the drawers latch shat when the lid is closed so i just put a strap over the top and they stay shut
