false floor for boot build

[mad1]

i was thinkin about building a false floor into the boot of my frontera just to keep the guns out of view. Has any one done one before does it work ok and how did you do it

[JDFrain]

Did one in a defender 90 worked out a treat. keeps things out of view etc. simple build just framed it out with 2x2 just above wheel arch height them ply lined with 18mm. Easy job mind in the back of a 90 not to sure about a frontera though

I thought about doing the same thing, seemed too much effort so I just painted over the windows

 

Try cutting out 2 bits of ply, to the size/shape of the boot (use the mat/carpet in the boot as a template) separate the 2 with some blocks

You must have the lwb then,as i cant see how you would do this in a swb like mine,as said before just black out windows and bolt a box in somewhere to put the fore end in then you have done your bit if the worst ever happens

would'ent that make you more prone to leaving guns in the car, while popping in that shop quickly, would the FAO be happy

Sometimes it's necessary, as long as all reasonable precautions have been taken you should be fine. there are various security options if you do have to leave them in a vehicle from in car cabinets to security cables and alike

thats what Im saying but a wooden false floor is not a proper securing device,

[hawkeye]

It would be if you had a big rottie sat on top

i already have a length off high tensile cable attached to the sub frame through to the boot with a pad lock to secure to the case or trigger guard . Also the windows are tinted and there is a pull over cover across boot all i was thinking was to make the boot look less cluttered . I was thinkin about using one of the army surplus ammo boxes to keep any carts in what do you think or is this going over the top . The guns will not be left in for longer than need be just when travellingn too and from the gun club or clay club plus i think its more carefull than trusting your car alarm . I have 2 staffys but they get car sick

Do you know anything about adding storage space in the sides of the loadbay? I've seen it on a Series, but not a 90/110
