STORAGE BOX FOR H3

[reddevil]

Hey guys, Premier hummer accesories has a storage box for the H3....It looks great. I think the price is $750 plus $95 for shipping www.premierhummer.com
check it out!!!!!!

[jp's-h3]

$750 + $95 s&h ! :eek:

Just a little over priced! :giggling:

Wait for a while, you will be able to get them for half that price! :D

[Desert Dan]

Kind of pricey* I wonder what Amstar's rear box and drawers will cost.

The drawer idea is pretty good.

When the back seat is folded down is it pretty flat?

*Again they think all Hummer owners are either very rich or stupid or both.

I have thought of making a shelf in the back w/o drawers where tool boxes and stuff could go under and ice chest and camping gear on top. You could anchor teh shelf or box to the tie downs.

I made my rear sleeping prototype platform with 1"x12" pine and spent $30 bucks on some carpet and padding.

[H3.007]

Rear sleeping prototype platform? Hmmmmm...... interesting..... pics?

:popcorn:

[Desert Dan]

I took a few pics on an old "film" camera. I'll get it developed and burn CD.

PM me and I'll email you pics next week.

The platform works pretty good.

[DDWH]

I can think of better things to spend almost 1k on.:eek: You could make one yourself of better quality for under 100 bucks. I believe that company uses carpet covered particle board, not even solid wood or metal.:mad:

If you made one yourself couldnt you make it to the height of the back seats folded and have a relatively flat floor.

You could do whatever you wanted...basically your only limited by available local stock hardware. Then again, you could probably find anything you wanted on the www:excited:

[Steve - SanJose]

I might want one of these if the price was more reasonable.

[The Green Lantern]

Nice, but I don't really need storage.

[reddevil]

I don't either but I thought that there were some people here that wanted this....thats why I posted it.

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

That price is beyond being a RIP OFF...

In any major METRO area find a cabinet maker and you can have it done at 1/3 the price, or less, maybe a little more if you want drawers, etc etc (wood , plywood, formica over plywood, or...)

Heck 3/8 or 1/2 AC plywood, a saw, a drill, good glue... Flip up hinge the back piece, lay in 2 or 3 plywood drawers (the seperaters would give support to the top {supporting the middle}),

An EASY weekend project.

Used a steel storage shelve jacked from moms garage. Think is was 2'x4' shelve grey steel :beerchug: Fit perfect with 4 spacers and some stainless self tapping screws to the sides. Sitting atop two plastic storage bins about 5" high. Modular and no wasted space when in...:clapping:
Similar effect, far more cost effective.:fdance:

Any pics?

[wpage]

OK 1st attempt at a resized photo of storage solution...

[Urban Ops]

I've been wanting to get something like that for mine too but thats way to pricey. With the way the seats DON'T lay flat, I can only get one dog cage in there. If I had something like that I could get 2 of my bomb dogs in my H3. I hate the fact that my wife can carry more in her Exploder than I can in my 3.:mad:

[fourfourto]

That works super low cost.:clapping:

I like the covered wood idea the best with 2 or 3 draws,maybe a flap on the inside behind rear seat to extend it some when seats are folded so a air bed could be used or if you need a long flat floor.

[Waiting on my Black H3]

For a little over $200.00 go to Sears and get a Craftsman tool box. Craftsman 1-Drawer Intermediate Chest, 40 in. Wide, Ball Bearing, Black

Sears item #00959604000 Mfr. model #59604

Built like a craftsman, and a whold lot cheaper@@!!!:dancingbanana: :dancingbanana: :clapping:

[fourfourto]

Looks nice height 7 1/2 inches and width 41 inches good but its only 18 inces deep.
nice option ,The cargo area is apx 33 inches deep and 42 inches wide.

Well, I have plans drawn up and will probably build a storage drawer system for rear this Friday. It will be 8" tall, 41" wide, and 28" deep. This will allow for rear door to close and sloped back of rear seats. It will have two sep. drawers on ball bearing glides, each drawer will have a rubber liner mat, it wiil be bolted down to tie downs, and tie downs will be move to top of unit with large heavy duty rubber mat from Tractor Supply. Will post pics when done.

Wish me luck!

Did anyone ever produce a reasonably priced model?

For my fellow weekend warriors, did the rear door interfere with the driver's side drawer in your cabinets? When I open my door, the interior portion looks like it might interfere with a drawer being pulled out completely on that side.

Otherwise, I think I can build one for around $150. Does anyone know of a good plastic materials supplier? I was going to try to build mine of lightweight yet strong plastics to save on weight and mileage. :popcorn:

Haven't done mine yet, been lazy...

[H3.007]

Ok all, here is my answer to the cargo organization issue.

It weighs around 15 - 20 pounds empty. Manual R&D and construction time was right around 3 hours. I skipped the drawer idea as this configuration allows much more space in the lower quadrant to be utilized.

Total cost of materials - $85.00.

As far as durability, today I had a packaged 50" plasma television partially sitting on the lower portion of the system and the rest on the folded seats. The cargo system never even groaned.

Enjoy! :beerchug:

[usetosellhummer]

looks like more hassel then help

[H3.007]

How so? :popcorn:

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Its a shelf, doesn't have a lockable drawer...

Don't think its what everyone was talking about... if it works for you GREAT but we are looking for a box the size of the cargo area, 4 to 8" tall with a drawer or drawers, possibly lockable...

I think I just wet myself regarding the hooker crack :dancingbanana:

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAA (Very nice dig!)

Just a note on the rack - the top layer and legs pop out and the bottom layer is at the height of the panel bevel, just below the power outlet.

To each there own I guess.

Give us a rapid field report...

[fourfourto]

The mid size would fit in the cargo area its Apx 42 X 33.
That would leave Apx 2 9/16 inch gap to each side(at the bottom) and 3/4inch at the hatch.
I think the rear seats folded are are less then 10 inches high ,but its close.(might be enough to even out a twin or full air mattresshttp://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/images/icons/icon14.gif)

If you get one give a write up:D

[Steve - SanJose]

Interesting at that price point....

[Gunner_45]

It may be a bit before I order this thing??.

(Got another -non H3- toy on order that has priority)

However, I?ve loosed my price ferret and found some better deals on it.

That old adage ?You get what you pay for? may apply here, but
all I?m looking for in this thing is a way to keep all the heavy
crap out of the side cubby?s and the rear door (especially). I?m
sure I?ll have to make some sort of drawer prop as it doesn?t
appear to be self supporting when fully extended?.But I
could live with that.

I?ll be sure to post up some install pics and what not when I get it.

(If it turns out to be half arse decent and there is some interest, maybe
it would warrant an attempt at a group buy)

RYD:

That first link (manufacturer) works for me......

Try this one instead.....should take you to the home page :)

http://www.suvcargocaddy.com/

As for the second listing, Ignore the "Not for the H3", it is the same
EXACT box....I guess the site just doesnt have us listed in the fitment
guide.

[H3.007]

Someone might want to double-check the exterior depth. I think the maximum depth I figured for mine was 26" from door to seat-backs. These boxes state they are 29" deep.

I could be wrong but I thought I'd mention the possibility of an improper fit...

[Gunner_45]

Good point....I need to crawl my large round @ss back there and
take some proper measurements with the hatch closed.

The rearward slant of the back seats might create some fitment problems.

[FJD]

Don't expect these to fit guys!!!

I just had my buddy make a custom one for me and the specs I have doesn't allow for these boxes to fit.

My specs were:
40" wide x 26" deep x 10" high. There is a little extra room around it but I don't see how you're going to get the "mid-size" in there with a 32.5" depth or the "full-size" at 45.5" wide.

Just don't see it fitting in there based on the dimensions I measured but, good luck !! :D

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

Are the BACK VERTICAL Pieces of the ready made boxes at 90 degree (straight up and down) or do the slope out at the bottom to match the seat back ????

[Gunner_45]

Just got back from checking......

$%@^&$%#$!!$$% ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Son of A ??????..

The d@mn thing is about 3.5 inches too deep.

Deck measurements are fine,

However, when measuring a foot off the deck, between
the rear seat back and inside of the (closed) hatch, you get 29 inches.

Even with the rubber mat and carpet removed, you only gain another inch of clearance.
The slant of the seats and the thickness of the hatch are what did me in.

(for the record, I would have double checked prior to ordering and should have done that prior to posting as well....double dumb ass on me)

Damn?.that is both disappointing and embarrassing.......:crying:

Man?that really brings the suck.

Sorry to waste ya?lls time.

[Steve - SanJose]

Good to know. Thanks for doing the research and homework for us.

[fourfourto]

I must have rough measured the High side with the hatch open .
:twak: I feel stupid:shhh:

Sorry to hear about that gunner ... hope you can send it back.

So what were the actual dimensions of the cargo area on the deck and at seat height ... I want to add them to the FAQ :D

[H3.007]

I wouldn't feel bad about the oversite... tis why we are all here. I am glad I caught the specs and remembered what I had to work with for the rack. For that fact, I am glad I saved you the money.

I wonder if there would be a way to shorten that product ....
