panel storage box removal
Just took the storage box out of my panel . Its a two piece setup with the storage box sitting inside a surprisingly rigid metal frame that could be used as a amp rack. The whole thing has to weigh at least 100 lbs and it gives a ton of space for customizing . Sorry if this is old news but I searched and could not find much info on the forum about removal , so if anybody wants me to post pics on how to I will gladly do so. I dont know what way I want to go yet was thinking maybe a thin two piece bench and a huge flip down any ideas or pics.....

I've taken it out once out of curiosity. It weighs about 50lbs. Because of its bulkiness it just feels like it's over 100lbs. I'm planning to take it out to create a subwoofer enclosure.

Its not hard at all to remove. I did it in about 30 min in my moms driveway in the dark , it is good to have someone to help you pull it out because its kinda awkward and the metal frame has very sharp edges. I will try to take some pics today and get them posted...

Took mine out as well. Very well made and a bit more engineering that I suspected. I needed my impact gun. The bolts that stick out on the front portion need some protection, but I'm pleased with thr results.

I can't wait to see the pics! My wife and I have a 08 black panel and would like to put a flip down bench back there so if we need to haul any human cargo we can.
Has anyone added a seat back there yet? I was wondering if storage mounts are the same location as seat mounts or if I'll have to engineer them in there. We will prob end up putting just a lap belt in.
If anyone has any pics of the storage boxes removed if would be nice to see what you have put inplace!
