TJ / LJ Rear Seat Storage Needed

First post here! This place is an awesome wealth of knowledge, been lurking for over a year.

If you're handy with a saw and have a little time you can make what I did here:

Originally the plan was to put a 5 1/2 inch speaker in where the water bottle is but with my 5 1/2's in the dash and the 6 1/2's overhead I really had no need for any more volume! The box is made out of 1/2 plywood. Sprayed the whole thing in Upol Raptor Liner and hand upholstered the cushions. The locks are more of a theft deterrent since they're plastic boat locks I got off of Amazon, but neat none the less. I used to have two 40mm ammo cans bolted where these sit now but it hit your shoulder if you sat in the back. WAYYYY more comfortable now plus it offers MORE storage the old cans!

If you guys have any questions or want exact dimensions, hit me up!

Here's a side shot of them on the LJ if anyone is curious.View attachment 187305

that is one fine looking LJ! i would love the dimensions to those boxes you built, i think those look perfect for what i need.
 
I'm glad everyone like them!

Here are some pics with dimensions for ya guys. Keep in mind that these are in INCHES and are the OUTSIDE DIMENSIONS. If you're planning on building these out of plywood like I did there will 100% be some hand fitting required. Plywood isn't perfectly straight, so some clamps, nails, wood glue and patience will go a LONG way.

Here's a shot of the ammo cans that were on there before:

And some redneck R&D to make sure it was comfortable:

Now the finished product. These are shots of the LEFT hand side, the right one is stuffed to the gills with supplies so I didn't take photos.

I have a set. I decided to look online today to learn more about them and came across this post and the other one referred to in the OP. Weird how basically zero info exists on these. The few other forum posts I've seen are from YJ owners discussing their discontinued boxes over 10 years ago.
