Post by: Disco_Stu on May 12, 2008, 08:32:08: I've removed my seats a while back, currently got some plastic crates bungied to the sides with tools in. My plan is to turn them into storage bins, maybe hinged, not sure yet if its necessary.

One side needs to have my inverter and a couple of 12v outlets mounted there. I'm gonna make them out of plywood first and see if I like them in use, if they're good, I'll re-make them with ally tread plate to match the rear door card.

had a brochure through the door the other day stating they were getting them in soon.
no price for them unfortunately.
I've been looking for some myself as well, like rocking horse poo to find

The standard disco items are rubbish - specially if you're using the truck for any kind of work or off-road. Try making some plywood cut to shape and held in with mild steel straps. Pic attached.

I work in a school, so there's always plenty of waste bits of metal and wood about. B&Q stock metal, but its at rip-off prices.
