I'm defintely interested in a set of those storage lockers that replace the quarter windows. I was going to replace the glass with aluminum and attach molle panels to the inside, for molle pouches.
I like your idea better.

My plan is to make a removable MOLLE panel for the part of the box that protrudes into the interior. So you could access/remove the pouches from inside the vehicle.
The boxes themselves will be sealed off from the interior, so no worries about dust/water entering your vehicle.

a tubular lock similar to the one found on our locking gas caps would be good to see on the door

The doors will definitely have locks! I know for me personally, I don't trust anyone around unlocked gear. When travelling and having to stay at hotels, I even wonder about my spare wheel/tire disappearing. LOL

Speaking of which, I need to pickup one of those locking gas cap doors!

At this point, I'm still trying to get setup as a vendor before discussing pricing/purchasing details. Not sure if that's going to happen or not..

Regardless, I'll be making these parts for my H3. Was just trying to give others an opportunity to have the parts as well.





For material, most likely a lighter gauge steel. I am going to cut a door out of aluminum to see if I can make that material work!

I'll post up some pics of my rotopack idea too.

If you don't become a sponsor just sell it, and make a website and don't promote on here. (Hopefully no admins get mad at me)

I could've sworn someone posted this idea on this thread already but I didn't see it

some covers to hide the ugly door jam on the b pillar? would be great so we can take off our doors with a bit more style

I'd be in for the storage even if it were only accessible from the interior.
I personally would prefer not to have to deal with another key.

With a 100% tint, or a painted aluminium cover.
What the heck! Maybe some machined H3 decals for those with rigs that suit it.. For a bit extra $$$?

I'm currently working on an interior storage design that you might like!

Also, the latches that I have spec'd out for those side doors don't have to be locked in order to function and keep the doors closed. They just have the option to lock if you feel the need to do so.

I used to want to put bins in the rear window cubbies until I put some covers in them to block prying eyes from checking out what was in the back. It sure makes it hard to see backing out of a parking spot! Now I'm not so hot on them, but if they are lighter and useful at holding stuff I may have to change my mind.

A good backup camera might fix that issue! I've just got the factory monitor/camera in the rearview mirror, and so far I've never had to look out those side windows.

Always thought that bird-eye setup that another member on here has (Favrish i think) would be great in one of these rigs, as visibility is pretty low compared to a lot of vehicles.

Made some quick/rough prototypes of the led foglight brackets today.
Hoping to maybe get them installed this evening and see if they fit the way I had envisioned.






















Since these lights originally used 2 screws per side to secure they're height adjustment, I needed a way to lock them out using only 1 screw per side.
Solution was to fit the flat edge of the bracket tightly against the back outer "lip" of the light.
This way it won't rotate within the bracket.
