Open-Source: Trunk Storage System (Open TSS)

[KirchTX]

I got rid of my apartment and lived in my Bronco in a parking lot on base for six months. The peak of the slope to the cargo area is ~ 8.5".

I have a few ideas. This one is made from 80/20 rail

This one is made from plasma cut plate and wood slats from amazon. I made this one to sleep in. I stopped developing it because its capital intensive and I need to sell more bushings first.

I will touch up the files in the coming weeks so people can make their own.

I like the idea of this. Reminds me of the kids' old Ikea bed slats that were joined together with webbing. Would make it easier to potentially take apart and put back together. Just would need the rails to be anchored together.

So as I build this, I can upload it as a community asset?

This is pretty cool. We have a 4x8 flatbed CNC routing table. I'd be interested in running a few off for fun once it's flushed out a little more. It would be pricier then wood but I also have .375 x 96x48 sheets of HDPE we could cut it from.

That would be awesome! If you guys want to send me some base measurements of your hard coolers I could draft up a mount for them.

Of course! The best thing to do would be design in around the OEM Delete base so that it was a standardized platform.

Following. Very cool. So if I'm understanding this correctly, I could take these files to someone with a cnc router, and they would be able to cut plywood exactly to the file?

I've been looking into a 2 door custom rear seat delete. Goose gear seems a bit too pricy for what it is, and America Adventure Labs seems a bit too heavy.

Honestly You could do it by hand. As it stands it's pretty straight forward. The CNC is more exact and then easily repeatable for push-button production runs.

Now its getting interesting. The PRO45 is the largest that makes any sense. It has a prep table / divider that can be used anywhere on the cooler. The lid and body has lots of attachment points, and it accepts standard catering pans for internal racks. Maybe we can make a sink holder for the cooler too.

The base is 16.6" x 25"

This is a wonderful idea! Thanks for starting something like this for the community. Hopefully it evolves into a passion project of many of us

A sink holder would be awesome for the coolers. Maybe a dual slide out system so the cooler slides like 20" and then a set of smaller slides nested below so a sink can slide out? That would give someone a more comfortable space to work.

I am installing brackets and slides today to test fitment.

Why is the drawer on the driver side? The 60% seat split is on the driver side, those of us who want to sleep in the back of the vehicle would prefer to see the drawer on the passenger side.

 

[Russ.Cere]

You can assemble it that way if you'd like. I just threw it there to model a quick mock up.

Validated some brackets over the weekend. I plan to sort the files for fabrication and make them available tomorrow.

I have my camp kitchen design in Sketch-up if you want those measurements. Basically uses the same base board principal you have in this post.

Awesome. If you have the files I can add them to the DropBox and link your build thread.
