G'day,
have been researching for a solution for the back of the Rodeo. Problem is that with a big slippery, plastic area, things bounce around a lot when it's not squeezed as full as Anna Nicole Smith's bra.
I need at least a false floor type of solution that will let me mount a fridge slide or put some dividers on or whatever to keep things from flying around. Would be interested in putting shovels, axes, recovery gear etc underneath and then crates etc on top.
Want to do it myself so I can make it simple, removable and not overly expensive. To be honest, I'll never pay the amount of money they want for commercial ones PLUS they seem like they waste a fair bit of space.
What do other Rodeo, Hilux, Navara, Courier, Triton, Bravo (hope I didn't leave anyone out there) drivers do?
Thanks in advance,
Smocky.
P.S. Bottle of scotch for the best correct entry :-)

HI Smocky
Had dad's engineering and fitting
shop build a false floor for the back of my Courier Duel Cab. It worked
well allow all camping gear under the floor, fridge slide on top as
well as hold down points for strappng plastic tubs.
Made out of plywood and pine, took a few minutes to get in and out by myself, quicker with some assistance. Can send some photos if you are interested.
Regards Wayne

Wayne,
Sorry to hi-jack the
forum thread, but I was wondering if you could send some pics of your false floor to me too?? I'm looking at doing something like this for my Hilux dual cab. Sounds like a good idea....
Regards,
Michael.
