P700 storage space challenge- looking for ideas

[L2R]

need some storage ideas. Want to do some day rides with wife and mutt.
I would like a bigger cooler but I can get by but I need a place to keep the helmets for places that require them.

I have too many projects in play now so don't want to spend money if I don't have to.
sat up last night and sketched up some ideas. Just don't want the helmets banging around hanging from a hook.

If the rear seats are not being used the area under the bed between it and the footwell can hold a small amount of stuff.

By the way, your sketches are way cooler than mine.

I hadn't thought about that area either. It might be the best place for the scissors jack to free up some more space.
now I have to go take more measurements.

As for the sketches, they are all cool and serve the purpose. I was getting ready to model up a shelf to divide the cubic space in the cargo area and decided to model up this instead to see if I even needed a shelf.

So, I am close and think these ideas will help me make it with what I have.

Lots of good folks here and lots of good ideas too-thanks!

I used to keep a tool bag in there. The only caveat is that stuff will get really dusty.

A couple of other areas I thought about with the 700 were the doors and roof.

I had considered cutting a section out of the inner panels of the doors and adding an opening like you might see on a glove box. The 700 doors are decently thick, so you could get tools or a 1st aid kit in there for sure. Some of the 1000 guys have now done this.

Another area was the under the roof. The area between the roof and roll cage. I kept a cargo net stretched out overhead and stored jackets, blankets, or sleeping bags up there. Anything light. But I had always envisioned a couple of light-weight plastic boxes moulded to fit the roof and cage area while staying above the occupants head line. Just an area for light-weight items in an unused space (unless you have a sound bar).

I use another dimension to store all my extra stuff. It’s right behind the peanut butter.

Is that what knocked the sardines off my shelf?

I keep some basic tools, first aid kit, zip ties, etc. in a Rigid tool box, that is dust prove.
It fits fine in my Jeep but didn't think about how big it is for the SXS until I modeled this up.

It has a latch system to attach it to other Rigid boxes. Be sweet if I could piggy back that
onto the gas can or mount it similarly onto the back of the tailgate like the gas can. That would allow for a bigger cooler.
Hmmmm....

I may go ahead and model up the shelf and just see what that looks like.
I agree on light weight items easily pulled down.

If I were in another dimension, I would have pull out drawers with a horizontal hinge that would allow the drawer to pull out and then down so you could see everything and have access at chest level so I could see the peanut butter and jelly.

I enjoy creating things in 3D, if I just had a sugar Momma to bankroll the materials, a 3D printer, bender and roller, I would be all set.

Always helps to brainstorm, thanks for comments.

How are your fab skills?
Swing away tire carrier

I have a mig welder. I did ok with a stick welder many years ago. I suck with a mig welder and need to just sit down and weld on scrap until I get better. Finding time to do that isn't easy to find but I may do just that this Winster and a swing away would be awesome.

Mig is pretty easy. Even the cheap box store migs are easy to use. Its just a matter of getting the settings right and I suggest using shielding gas vs innershield wire. I built the tire carrier with only a cheap mig and an angle grinder.
