Cheap Trunk Storage

[shaeet]

If theres one thing I hate about this car more than anything, its the plastic-lined rear trunk area. I both love and hate the feature. I love the fact I can put any dirty/jagged object back there and not give a crap about it ruining my trunk upholstery or paneling. but at the same time I hate that I can't put simple things back there without them sliding around and banging violently when I take corners.So...I was browsing the new Harbor Freight coupons on slickdeals and saw a coupon for a "Trunk Organizer" for 7.99, regular price is 12.99 I believe. I figured i'd print it and see if my local store had one when I went to buy a tile saw I needed for a bathroom job. And they did!Pretty nifty, it fits perfectly in the trunk and you can secure it with bungee cords if you don't want it to move around. It can fit 4 brown grocery bags or other stuff and it also folds flat if you want to store it when hauling bigger stuff.Check out photos:

Nice! That would be pretty nice to have. I never even thought of something like that. I may have to stop by the Harbor Freight in Davenport when I go to visit my brother next week. Even without the coupon it's not a bad deal at all!

Wifey's got a similar item.Works to keep round things from rolling around....like 2 liter bottles.

1) Buy the carpet for the floor lining.2) Utilize the 2 compartments on the side, the very front hidden compartment along the back bench, and the large compartment around the spare tire. I keep nothing in sight. My umbrella is in the front hidden compartment, my first aid, bungees, rope, jumper cables, and portable pressure machine are under.

Good find!As far as stuff sliding around, getting a 'factory' cargo mat helps a lot, although they are probably getting hard to find now.1. It's custom cut to fit the space so it stays in place pretty well. In 2003-2004 it was symmetrical, so it could be turned over and used with either the carpeted side or the vinyl side up. (Not sure if was true about the 2005-08's when the added the subwoofer on the passenger side.)2. Carpeted side up helps keep dry things from sliding around.3. The vinyl side up keeps wet, dirty, messy things from soiling the cargo area.Here's a related thread from 2007 -->http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=29985Four years later, I'm still using this.Velcro strips tie three mini-milk crates together to accomplish the same purpose, except that they don't fold up. They do fit on the floor of the rear passenger area.And the bottom of the crates holds well to the carpeted side of the factory mat.

I have one of those right now, holding a bunch of turbo parts LOLThey do hold those reuseable grocery bags nicely

Shouldn't those turbo parts be on your engine?
