Inventing a sweet cargo area to house a fire extinguisher, mini shovel, and possibly extra space.

going to start on this in about a week

whats your opinion? no net or door below, with swing door, with cargo net

 

ps thats the passenger rear window

 

You are going to brake out that window. I like the idea but I don't see that working very well unless you don't wheel it very often.

 

where does it say hes breaking out the window?
i like the idea

 

i liked the second picture, this idea never crossed my mind before, and it looks to be very simple and with some buks in home depot you can do it.
great idea man.

 

I didn't say he was breaking out the window. I said he will break it out. A buddy of mine kinda made the same thing. From the twisting of the unibody wheeling and from the vibrations of the items you stick near the window it will break the window out. Seen it done.

He tried and tried to cut down the vibrations and couldn't come up with a solution. He busted out all the windows and wheels the **** out of it now.

 

good idea ,i had the same type of idea but a bit differant , i was gonna weld bars to the floor and up to the ceiling ,across the ceiling and back down the other side with holders and stuff for everything , just make you leave enough space so if that shovel moves or taking it off and on the rack doesnt hit the window

 

I wont be mounting it rite near the window and Im not going to break it out. im an emt and fire fighter so I wanted to make something to holster a fire extinguisher and the shovel wouldnt hurt either, it will be supporting 10 lbs max so im going to drill rite into the plastic molding I think

 

thanks man, I was thinking about just buying some of that 1" metal electrical piping and cutting it to length and hammering just the end flat and cleaning it up and taping it. I would then drill 2 holes per end for screws to connect to plastic.I could fasten the bars together with ss clamps and It would be 4" from window

 

fire extinguishers have a good amount of weight to em well if your using a decent size one not one of those mini ones, just screweing it into the plastic may not be enough , once you start hitting bumps even just driving on the streets its gonna come loose , unless you use some sort of backing

 

I like your idea

 

Ive already bought my extinguisher, its about 16" hight and 5 inches arround. I think Im going to make barckets that mount to the frame. I alreayd have my headliner and carpet out so that will be easy

 

the shovel for me is useless if i´m not inspired, first add some inspiration for the job.

well i understand the red points are the flat parts right??
ok
then the upper side is steel so you wont have any problem
the left and right side are plstic and behind steel so there is no problem
for the bottom i suggest to get under the plstic and tapper it direct to the steel.
IMO it will hold fine good luck

 

see thats why I love this forum!, I almost kept the shovel instead of jose quervo. gosh im a fool to have missed that! haha my name is troth and im am not smarter than a 5th grader!!! haha

I may just do the window mod and then do the rear seat mod for hidden space

You need to plan it well for this FAB to materialize. Make sure that you have those equipments strongly mounted to the passenger windows. You can also do some welding for additional support.
