DIY (Extra Storage) behind rear seats

[Randy H.]

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.

Thanks for the idea! I bought a desk bag and just hung it off the two child seat tethers. Not perfect but it works.

It came from a Cubiker office desk my work got on Amazon(picture attached) We didn’t use the bag, so in my truck it went. Probably can contact Cubiker and just get the bag.

Awesome. Thank you very much.

Here’s a direct link to the bag that the OP was talking about. I think I’m going to purchase one.https://www.amazon.com/VIVO-Workstation-Organizer-Sections-DESK-AC08PG/dp/B09RMTXN46

That VIVO bag is very similar. Only difference I see is the one I have has an insert that goes inside to keep it expanded.

I actually have two (2) more of the same bags I used at my work (un-needed). If someone wants to pay shipping (Venmo) I will send them out free.

I’ll take one! How much are we thinking for shipping. The bag itself is like $20

I'd be down for the other one if shipping isn't too crazy! Very cool of you to offer them up!

That bracket looks like a place to mount a 110v inverter.

Like the child seat clips were asking for that storage bag.

My XLT has the inverter; the bracket I used on the back passenger wall I believe is for the Lariat amplifier.

PM me your zip code (I can weigh and estimate the shipping here at my work)
