I hope to design/build it for both. Tie downs could be anchored to the top of the box (provided it is stron emough). The drains will be a little tougher. I suppose I could do without them and without the ability to spray out the bed with a hose in return for the added utility. I was actually thinking of something that would fit under the mat and look pretty sotck except when the mat was out. When you take that shelf out, you will see that there is basically a form fit plastic top over a sort of honey comb plastic filler. I will try to make the enclosure/box fit in the same spot as the filler. I measured the space to be 44.4" w x 30" d x 3.75" h. So not a huge space, but some extra that can be used none the less! Now I need to figure out how to make a basically hollow box strong enough to take some weight on top of it without caving. I was hoping to use some light weight metal, but may have to opt for steel for the strength. I will also need to make the top either double hinged or double doors to allow quick access to storage towards the rear of the truck and to the electronics mounted closer to the gate.

We are also going to try to fit 2 10" Kicker Solo L7's under the 60 part of the rear seat--gonna be very tight!!!!
