also the 4 lids to the "ammo cans" as they call them when flipped over look like this, to hold 6 packs of beehhhhhh, SODA!

lol, yeah as if that's as cool as this.

NO WAY!!

Looking from A and B measurements below, from the top of the deck to the top of the box would be 5.5" With only 49" between the D pillars "C", if the brackets for the diagonal supports are right above the decked box at E, PLYWOOD won't fit. So if Leitner does put them there, i'll have to modify it to mount at spot D below. I wonder if that area is structural enough to support it. I'm assuming so, with a static max load of 1000lbs, if weight is dispersed evenly, then only 250 lbs of weight at that spot......should be fine, don't you think?


Height A is 12" on all decked boxes.

Height B is 17.5"

C is 49" between the D pillars.

Need to fab up a new mount and shorten the diagonal support possibly.

not sure if i like this or not, XL pod,

I think I like the regular pods better - anything long and precious* like in that pics will get locked in the cab under the rear seat, and anything less precious can go in a decked drawer. Come to think of it, the decked drawers can hold precious long items too, so I definitely wouldn't need a 3rd option for long storage, and would probably go with one or two regular pods on each side.

* must pronounce it like gollum

Yeah I agree, also if I get the big box, it'll just be an unorganized smashed in mess of crap. With three individual pods I'd be much more organized with my precious* items.

Steffen for the rare times you’ll be hauling plywood I would suggest that you just unbolt the strut. It should only take a minute or two then you’d be good to go!! ;-)

Might have to unbolt the strut mount though. I think that'll be in the way more. And I'll probably be hauling plywood daily, =) Lol

But you do bring up a good option. 8 bolts and voila, plywood hauling!

EDIT: 6 bolts, even easier!

Just ran across this system from Australia.
Hopefully they’ll make a version for the Glad once it takes off...

I belive these msa drawers were posted in another thread on a glafiatot. Maybe the bright white club. If they have the drawers, I'm assuming they'll develop the whole kit.

@SKT, do you remember, I thought you posted the photo. Can't find the thread, but I did find this photo on Google.
