I like that, but I was referring to the plastic basket on top.

Nice work. Did you make a way to attach to the floor? Or is it just sitting in there?

opps...

it's an old chicken coop i found on an friends feild...

I haven't really figured out a way to tie it down yet, so it's just sitting there. Tho it can't really go far, it's only 7" from the roof... so i hope it's good the way it is. I might have the need to take it out sometime.

You might be able to make something that attaches to the factory tie-down hooks on the floor. You might even be able to attach it to the metal plate in the back seat
