If you don't want Air-Con or heating, then there is a lot of room in the dash once it is removed...

I have a soft top 73 Series so I got rid of it all...

Was thinking of putting DOOF DOOF in there, but not now that I know how i drive it...

What are you after, just some sort of draw setup for the rear...

I have to admit I was really surprised at just how much room is in the back of a middy once you pull the rear seat. May day weekend I fitted:

all my tent poles, 12' x 9' touring tent, groundsheet 24' x 12', tarp 24' x 12', 40litre engel, camp battery box, queen size inflatable bed & bedding, clothes for the missus and I , 2xgas cookers, 6' folding blow moulded table, recovery box, tools, 20l drinking water, car fluids, fording blind, shovel, bow saw, cane knife, chain saw, gps, laptop, pool toys, Bundy, mixer, & some other camping junk.

All of this fitted in below the rear window height!!!!

I think I can carry more in the middy than I can in the 4Runner & it's set up with drawers etc.

I have a SWB LC. I was tinkering with the idea of removing the back seat and putting in one or two of those storage boxes...the one you would fit in the back of a 4 door pickup.

Seats are out at the moment, but I think they'll go back in, I have too much fun taking mates out fourbying...

I have no roof, I think a drawer setup for me is best, locking it with a lock, and or just by leaving the back doors locked...

Nice setup though...
