As said above, depends what you want to do with it, if its for tools, just bolting down a tool chest with a lock and drawers would probably do....

I was planning to put a smallish boot build in mine before I did my back in, was planning on building into the back half of the boot, allowing me to keep the dickie seats.... probably bolting the highlift onto it on the side facing the back and having flaps on top for access.....

What material have you used there wrecker? I'm pressing my nose up to the screen but I cant tell..

I've made a drawer unit that sits between the wheel arches, slimline, just tall enough to fit my socket set, spanners and bits and bobs, and am about to turn my dickie seat spaces into pockets using some plywood. I've got no photos at saved of it and the whole thing is currently sat in the garage (Its removable) so I can see the holes in my boot floof better !

A while back Discourse showed how to make a tidy boot box that was removable it was angled at the rear to fit up snung to the rear seat with the front hinged at the bottom to fold out, came out just behind the dickie seats so u can still use em. ill try and find the plans if u like
