Defender 90 rear internal storage boxes

Hi all

I'm thinking of removing the 2 rear most fold down seats in my 90 CSW and mounting 2 storage boxes in their place.

I very rarely carry passengers in the back but I want to leave the 2 seats behind the front drivers and passengers seat just in case.

Not interested in a draw system. I specifically looking for a pre made/molded box with a lid that won't overhang the bench and, as its a CSW, wont be too tall so that it blocks the side windows.

Has anyone found any that are a good size?

I think you can also get lids and also stack and click the handles to lock two together 1999 Defender TD5 110

Depends on the year of your 90 CSW, flat or stepped wheel arches?

My 2015 110 has the stepped wheel arches. I removed the fold down 3rd row. Using 12mm ply I made up a pair of L shaped shelves that fit along the wheel arches using the holes from the seats to secure them. Stuff can now go in the cheeks and the dogs in the dip. I hope this makes sense? I have some pictures somewhere.

I like a Tanos systainer box, as used by Festool amongst others. They can be ordered in many colours and sizes.

Was going to link to the long version and say put both seats on one side but they now do a short version.

I love MSS products, but... They are incredibly heavy being made of mild steel. I sold mine years ago in preference of plastic full length drawers by Animal transit boxes. Light weight, incredibly durable and they do not ever rust...

Yes they can rust. If inside a watertight (for a Landrover) wagon they should be ok. I’d
Ike something in my series soft top but the rust issue and price puts me off

Thanks for your input guys. Its given me something to think about.

West, those boxes you suggested look great. Not too high and secure. I had originally thought about fixing 2 large Stanly took boxes either side but then thought that scumbags would think that they were full of tools and break in just to nick the boxes.

Hmmmm..... I shall have a ponder.

I guess it depends on what you’re planning to put in them as to how big they would need to be

I have been using a couple of wolf boxes in the back of my 90 for years and they have worked well enough without costing the big money like a proper drawer system would

I like Systainer boxes, and there is a good range of inserts and padding which can be adapted to whatever you need to carry. I've got a collection, from which I select the ones I need for the job. The vehicle mount bases are good: the box locks on, rather than needing a strap (as, for example, Sortimo crates do). I have a couple fixed semi-permanently in the back, albeit on top of a drawer.
