False floor in Rodeo

I have a false floor in my cruiser. I made mine out of MDF and used light galvanized angle for the joints but I also have a cargo barrier that the false floor is secured to. If your Rodeo is the type of vehicle with "dicky seats" in the back the anchor points for these seats can be used as well

Sorryabout the info. I got confused with the Jackaroo. If you have a ute I would not use mdf as it is not waterproof

Hi pafc, last year we made a false floor and storage drawers for a Rodeo ute. We used 3/4" angle iron and used the top of the wheel arch as the starting point.Tek screwed the angle on. No welding, just various lengths around the inside of the tub and a full length piece across the back with a middle support at the back. Also a piece of 1 1/2" wide angle in the middle front to back. We folded up a couple of drawers out of zincalume sheet with slight criss-cross fold on the sides for stability.Made rollers out of alternator bearings from the auto elec. bloke and run them in the grooves in the floor. Two pieces of marine ply for the top covered in boat carpet, and plywood fronts bolted to the drawer fronts. Rope pull handles with a bit of garden hose to hold and knots on the inside. The marine ply tops were gutter bolted down and it was a tight squeeze underneath with a spanner(I am 105 kgs!!!) but it got done. It cost all up $450 not including any labour, which you don't anyway when you build something for yourself. It's done a 4 month trip from SA to Exmouth and back with no design faults. Rus.

Gday pacf.
I'm pretty sure I've seen cast aluminium and steel joiners in some hardware shops.
They knock in tight and you can tek screw or rivet them in for extra security.
Good luck
