1987 4runner Bed Ideas?
I been thinkin about mounting a storage box in the bed of my 4runner. Id like storage that is not visibal to thieves. has anyone done something like this? Im not talking about a plastic container or something of that nature something semi permenant that can come out if needed.
or have a mesh pull over type thing that will not let anyone see whats in the bed. I usualy keep my tackle and rods in the back just in case im by some water
These are just ideas I have been thinking about if there are reasons this is not a good idea please let me know

by tool chest you meen like a tool box for your house?
Or do u mean like the ones people put in the back of their trucks?
The one that would fit in the 4runner are so small and have no storage
I think i will have to prolly fab something up my self because i dont want compartments like i have seen some people have i just want like a trunk in the back of my truck... if that makes any sense..
Do you have any pics ?

I think he's talking about something recessed into the floor. If that's the case some people have done it but it involves ditching something from under the rig, like your spare tire or fuel tank. Check out the in-bed truck boxes and drawer systems, they're prolly going to be the easiest and cheapest solution without cutting a huge hole in your bed.

The sleeping platform part will be for when I don't feel like setting up camp or for staying a little bit warmer on cold nights. Fold the rear seats forward, install the sleeping leaf between the storage box and the folded seat bottom, lay on top and go to sleep - to this end I already have an extra rear window switch installed so I can open/close the window without having to turn on the key.
I think the best resource for this (ideas, etc) will be this thread over on the ExPo -> Post up your drawer/storage system
