Cargo Storage Unit?
Anyone know of a good (looking) cargo storage unit?
I have seen a couple, but none impressed me.
Need a unit to place behind second row seats to hold jumper cables, chains, etc.
Thanks.

Cargo Storage Unit?
Hi,
I considered one long ago, then decided to build one as a second floor type compartment. Fortunately before I got started on the project I had to load and unload all the emergency gear I carry several times in one week to haul plywood, landscape timbers, etc. I realized then that one unit that would hold everything was too awkward and heavy for me to handle by myself and presented a storage space problem in a carefully organized and jam-packed 2 car garage with two vehicles in it. It also meant that while hauling the heavy or big stuff, I wouldn't have onboard the jumper cables, tools, winch, tow strap, etc. Solution: five small canvas bags of the low cost or freebie kind with zippers. The smaller lighter stuff can go under the rear seat. the others ride behind the second seat until they have to be moved for cargo. Then after the seats are laid flat they ride on the cargo or in the front of the vehicle on the floor or seat. That way I can haul anything and carry all the stuff I might possible need on the road or off. And I won't strain my back moving it alone even if done several times a week.
Hope this helps.
