Been looking for storage solutions for a rear seat delete 2 door. Everything on the market hinders access to side panels and such. Also they seem big and bulky plus expensive and can’t be taken out and set off to the side. After much searching I finally came along a case that fit what I was looking for.

Looked at a lot of cases. Most are either 4” tall or 12” tall. Both wouldn’t work for me. After some more looking I came across the pelican V700 vault. At 6.5” tall, perfect for most items and still lets me set the dog bed on top of them raising it 6.5” higher. Reign enjoys the extra height for sitting and watching out the windows. Plus this leaves room to set my good jack or pair or fold up chairs in between them. Case is waterproof and dust proof. Comes with the standard pressure relief valve. Side and end locks. Can be used for flotation if needed.

My dilemma is that I do a little if everything. If I’m wheeling I want my tool load out and maybe coffee and lunch. If upnorth for a weekend maybe my hunting and or camp load out, weekend living off the land, survival load out. Either way that’s a lot to shove in a 2 door. So I decided multiple cases that I could just grab for whatever I plan on doing. After I get a roof rack the extra cases could be stored on top too. Being able to take a case out and set it off to the side to work out of is great.

DIMENSIONS (LWH | inches): Exterior 39.61 x 17.65 x 6.65 | Interior 36.50 x 14.50 x 6.00 - WEIGHT WITH FOAM: 16.26 Lbs (7.4 kg)

This nets us 1.81 cubic foot of storage which doesn’t seem like much. Almost seems like a waste of money. So let’s see what we can get in one. This is my cooking case. Which contains everything I would need wether I brought groceries or decided to live off the land that weekend.

I still have another dozen or so items to go in it. Just waiting for them to arrive. Hence the unused space that I left for those.

So if your looking for another storage solution beside a drawer setup this case may be for you.

I've been debating something similar. I like the idea of having some things always in my rig (yet out of the way and not taking up my cargo space) while other times I grab "for the outting".

Right now that consists various plastic boxes (those black with yellow top ones). Have one with sleeping bags, one for kitchen, etc.

..but thanks for sharing your load out. You're definitely making use of that limited two-door storage!

Nice setup! What did you use for the red trim on the side of the removable roof? Also what are the red knob coverings?

That would be the kinetic recovery rope. Best spot I found for storage and quick access to it.

I should clarify. What did you strap the rope to? How is it secured?
I’ll get a pic for ya when I get home tonight. Basically it’s one gun mount bracket on the forward part, 2 cinch straps in the middle and the back is just in the corner. Sounds dumb but it’s a solid set up. Been wheeling with it like that for a couple months now. Hasn’t moved yet, even on the 30* inclines. I just undo the front strap and the whole thing pulls out.
