Im about to buy my 136" high roof with dual sliders.
I plan on using it for work and as a family vehicle. I want a crew van style setup, with a second row of seats. (Either a sprinter bench or 2 captain chairs.) Behind those seats I would like to keep my tools and equipment.
If anyone has any input I would love to hear it.
I would like to:
1-Put up a partition (bulkhead) behind the 2nd row of seats. Preferably right after the door opening. I think that the Ranger aluminum partition with the sliding door can work in the aft location, if I mod it slightly. I would prob need to add a piece of aluminum at the top. I also am considering fabricating one myself out of steel and plywood. If anyone has any input I would really like to know.
2- Install a sunroof in the rear "work" area for light and ventilation. I am not sure if i want a power one or a pop up one.
3- Put in led lighting. I need the work area to be really really bright. Any suggestions on brands? Where to buy?
4- Put down a 3/4 plywood floor. Any tricks to get the cutouts right the first time ;-)
5- Cover the inside walls, floor, and roof (headliner) with carpet
6- Build shelves for tools and with plastic bins for the many small parts I carry with me. prob out of plywood.
7- I am still trying to figure out a solution for heat and AC in the back work area. I havent found anything that seems reliable a sufficient yet, at an affordable price.
I respectfully ask all the esteemed members of the forum for their advice, and/or opinions. Although I am a chronic "Modder" I have never taken on this type of project.
Thanks in advance!
