But in regards to the L/H area, I was wondering if anyone has modified it (or found a way) to fit in a tool bag or box. At the moment I have about $1000 worth of tools on display in the back and was thinking maybe there is a way to hide them a bit better. I still need to be able to carry the tools around with me so I was thinking maybe a flat tool bag, but haven't found anything suitable. Cheers.nondisclosed_email@example.com (bryce88)Mon, 01 Sep 2014 09:42:35 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084471,from=rss#post2084471https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084471,from=rss#post2084471Wings and small parts for some of my model aircraft sit in that area, nice and secure away from any moving objects.nondisclosed_email@example.com (JackMCC)Tue, 05 Aug 2014 17:18:47 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084395,from=rss#post2084395https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084395,from=rss#post2084395perfect for a couple of fold-up chairs we have.

I've given a hard eye to some of the more solid fruit trays (thrown away at the Fruit Market), but so far they have not quite fitted. Yo Dog, I did what you did and found some pretty close fitting (in terms of width) black cardboard boxes before I made a coreflute drawer. You can get these same low profile boxes from ALDI stores - they are the best ones out there - seems to be a brand they stock - but they slide fwd and backwds. Hell, you might as well buy coreflute sheets big enough to make a draw that goes the whole length of the bay. I reinforced the base for rigidity with another piece of coreflute moulded and glued to the inside. You won't need luck to make one - its the least amount of effort and the lowest cost for the most amount of satisfaction. I'm chuffed with mine.nondisclosed_email@example.com (nonredneck)Fri, 25 Jul 2014 14:18:30 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084245,from=rss#post2084245https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084245,from=rss#post2084245I had also thought of making a draw or something similar for the left side, right up until I bought my TRED's and realised they fit perfectly Currently, my left side permanently houses, TRED's, my 2nd fire extinguisher, panel saw and hatchet with little-to-no movement nondisclosed_email@example.com (Ian Ewin)Wed, 23 Jul 2014 02:06:10 +0000 Re: How do you use or have mod'ed the L/H cargo drawer area?https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084231,from=rss#post2084231https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2084231,from=rss#post2084231Great idea and it has worked well for you.

Staples also indent nicely into the material so they can't scrape - I ran a black sharpie over the staples and you can't notice them. All I could find was the 3mm stuff - It works fine (and I reckon the thicker stuff would be harder to fold within spec) but I would have preferred the 5mm board - its hard to buy locally. Bunnings only sell the more common 3mm white stuff ( but you could spray it black - its made for printing and painting). Tip - start with a thin cardboard template and allow for more material on the sides for folding the edges all the way around the top of the draw - it adds heaps more strength and doesn't look as cheap as an open coreflute edge. ok, now you can message me back and tell me what a cheap-ass I am for not spending $300 on a Nissan drawer. nondisclosed_email@example.com (nonredneck)Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:30:08 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070475,from=rss#post2070475https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070475,from=rss#post20704753-piece shovel kit, squeegee and tow plug live there.nondisclosed_email@example.com (nananut)Fri, 25 Jan 2013 15:26:24 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070460,from=rss#post2070460https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070460,from=rss#post2070460those are excellent suggestions above (would never have thought of putting frozen stuff under their). was a bit surprised at the $215 price tag to buy one..... a friend of mine said he would make a draw up for me (so i can utilize the space easily) nondisclosed_email@example.com (Nazar7)Fri, 25 Jan 2013 12:57:02 +0000 Re:https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070213,from=rss#post2070213https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070213,from=rss#post2070213We put all the glass xmas present in there.

Also the plug-in step attachment to the tow bar fits in there perfectly when not in use. Otherwise, I find it a good place to shove the frozen goods from the supermarket as that space is supremely well insulated.nondisclosed_email@example.com (DogTrail)Sat, 19 Jan 2013 00:16:41 +0000 How do you use or have mod'ed the L/H cargo drawer area?https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070190,from=rss#post2070190https://baustralianxtrail.runboard.com/p2070190,from=rss#post2070190For those that do not have a L/H cargo drawer.
