So I came across XLT-FX4's thread about making an underseat storage and I thought it was a great idea so I went to Lowe's on Saturday and picked up a 5/4" x 8" x 10' board for about ~$5.40. I measured how long I wanted it to stick out to where it was still comfy for people sitting in the back seat and it was about 6.5". The premade holes on the left side that XLT-FX4 mentioned were to big so I drilled two 1/8" holes on each side and used 1 1/4" deck screws to hold the boards in place. Then I got some cardboard and trimmed out the hump which wasn't too hard just have to do little by little. Then I cut the hump out of the wood using a jigsaw and screwed everything in. My toolbox fits perfectly in it and it looks much more organized now. I'm waiting on our friend that has a carpet business to get me some scrap carpet to match which I'll put in later. Thanks XLT-FX4. Here are some pics.


Just finished putting the sides in.


Everything in place now


Cleaned up, the left corner was a little off because I forgot to push it down when screwing but I don't mind, it'll be covered soon.


Everything in place including: 3' bungee cords, 1 long strap, gloves, crowbar and jack accessories (I moved the jack with the space tire), ice scraper, binoculars, tool box, two jackets, window flag and a pair of shoes under the jackets.

 

Looking good... I like it...

 

interested to see the carpet covering, he's in the auto carpet business? might be hard pressed to find a match, consider vinyl?

 

If he doesn't have any I can get some at walmart, I just figured I'd ask him and save me a couple bucks. And Ranger go look at XLT-FX4 thread, he has pictures when he put the carpet on his and it looks good. https://www.f150online.com/forums/su...orage-box.html

 

does look pretty sharp, looks like the speaker box carpet. just thought maybe vinyl since you have tan interior.

 

Might be able cut a matching piece of carper out of a junked, wrecked truck. It SHOULD be cheap. I doubt they get many calls for used carpets.

 

that's thinking with your dipstick

 

I know Walmart has the carpet I'm just trying to save a couple bucks, in the mean time every time I hope in the truck it has that fresh cut wood smell that I love

 

that is a good smell, they need some fresh cut lumber air fresheners.

 

I would love that

 

"that's thinking with your dipstick "

LOL! Is that good or bad?

 

I think he is quoting that Irish man off that car commercial where if you do something dumb to your car he whips you with a dipstick

 

no underseat storage for me darn factory subwoofer lol

 

either way its funny...loved that commercial....lmao
