Re: Is this right

That might be right for that box. I had one build a few years ago that was similar, but without the bottom portion, that was just over 2 cubic feet total.

Re: Is this right

The dimensions given for that box (41 X 15 X 16) make it come out to about 5.6 cubic feet. That doesn't take into consideration the space taken away by the slope of the top or the smaller section of the lower half. The top half of that thing is only about 7 or 8 inches deep. To come out right, you have to add the volume of 3 sections of the box, the wedge over the top section, the top section itself and the bottom section. I don't think it would be hard to make 3 cubic feet back there, 4 might be stretching it a little.

I originally had mine built so that it was flush with the floor of the cargo area, then we needed about another cubic foot. Slanting the top actually adds quite a bit of air space over the original design. I have a box now that takes up about 3/4 of the lower portion of the well (from left to right with some dead space next to the spare tire) and it measures about 1.25 cubic feet.

The edge of the board, which is also the top of the box, is where the enclosure ends.



And the finished product, minus the cover. The whole thing is still below the floor level of the cargo area.
