The Maverick models without the amplifier behind the rear seat has the mounting bracket unused. When I looked behind the rear seat in my XLT I began thinking of ways to utilize the space for extra storage and realized I could use the amplifier bracket to mount a storage bag. Here’s my DIY solution.
I had access to an unused desk side hanging storage bag from a desk (table) from my work. I used a 1/8 thick piece of strip stock, 1 inch wide and 16 inches long (your bag may require a different length) rounded the edges, drilled my holes for the amp bracket at 7-7/8” on center. I then drilled extra holes for the bag and painted black.
I folded back the tabs on the amp bracket to get a flush surface and mounted the strip and bag using 8-32 x 1” bolts with washers on each side and lock nuts.
Now I have extra storage in the unused area behind the rear seat where I currently have jumper cables and room for more.
