Due to having the roll cage on the hybrid I had to remove the windscreens from the inside. It was relatively easy to remove the top panel to the dash then all the retainer plate screws were easy to remove. I would recommend this way to replace the windscreens to anyone, I had them done within 2 hours with a few simple tools.
Next I moved onto storage in the rear. When ever I go camping it's usually a collection of boxes in the rear which are unorganized at best. Searching the internet I see that many invest in storage drawers and platforms stretching from side to side. Not being able to afford these setups I use them as the inspiration of the what I made. The plan is simple a platform that created a floor from wheel house to wheel house. Now this being a Land Rover built back in 1980, the tolerances are hit and miss. Where I'm leading with that comment is that the wheel house on the left was 5mm taller than that on the right. If I had left is so, the plastic containers would not be able to slide in under the platform as they would catch on the right hand side. Therefore I overlapped the steel on the right which gave me the clearance that I needed.
With the support brace to the right of center it gives plenty of strength to the platform that I'm able to get on top and there is no movement. The plastic box to the left is 60cm x 40cm x20cm which I can fit 2 under the platform. Then to the right the smaller boxes are 40cm x 30cm x 15cm and there to I can fit 2. Also on the left side I made the frame so that it's possible to place the 20L reserve diesel tank forward of the rear axle. It's well protected there and doesn't bump around when I'm driving.
The final thing that I'll do is add a felt over the aluminium to keep the boxes and gear on the new platform from moving around.
