Default Trunk Box!
I've been thinking about building a box for the trunk of my XJ for a while now and finally decided to do it. Here's what I came up with. Let me know what y'all think!

I'll be using 3/4" plywood, seal it once its built, then carpet over it.

Yeah I wasn't sure where to put it. Hopefully a mod can move it for me?

I hope you realize every measurement except the out side dimensions are wrong.

you need to account for the thickness of the wood.

'Stuff' slides in from back.
Optional lid.

I like the designs where you can remove it quickly and flip it over if you need to haul something sizable.
