Crew cab 2nd row seats storage
Just wondered if anyone is doing anything interesting with the space available under the rear seats? Thinking about fitting some drawers.

Also, I’ve unbolted the seats from the back of the cab so that I can tilt them forward and store stuff behind them - I assume there is no issue with doing that?

It's the most useful storage area on a double cab, you can pack all manner of stuff in there!

Been trying to sort something out myself. Currently got a shoddy plastic drawer which I've forced in. Though I think I'll make something better from wood, or maybe ali (thatll cost me though)

I assume the bolts, like on our 130, were for the middle seat passenger in a crash. The seats are from a 110 CSW but mounted more upright and therefore probably not designed to lock in that position on a DCPU? 1951 80" S1 2.0

Seats lock fine, just as in an SW. I think the bolts are just to stop rattles and frustrate the owner!

It's certainly cavernous

But what about the space with the seatbox - anyone made use of that?

On a 110 there is no space in the seatbox, it's full of chassis. On the 130 there is a huge wasted space because the chassis is flat under the seat. See AndrewS's "Longshanks" build thread for pictures.

Ah - that might be what was confusing me - I knew I had seen some photos of a removed seatbox...

Pre-puma 130s have a removable cover to access the storage area. I put Puma 110 seats in my 130 and found they don’t fit exactly right even with the correct brackets for the rear of the seat. I think Puma 130s must have a slightly different mounting foot for the front of the seat.

One thing I’m contemplating is getting old squar 130 doors and having a drawer from each side of that’s rear seat box.

I’ve seen I picture where someone had. Put a cabinet hinge on the little triangle bit of body with a sliding bolt to lock it in place. And had then fitted a draw in the seat box.

I’m in the process of affixing the triangular piece to the door so that there’s a square opening, I have a pair of drawers to fit in then where the seat box is. Then either a rear seat from a RR classic or a pair of puma fronts in on the modded seat box..
That’s the plan, anyway..
