Re: Blazer rear side panels

Yeah, I guess you could set it up for a fishing pole...or a one man/two man tent.

It's my son's Blazer--he's 16, and this is his first car, so we're trying to set it up to be fairly universal for the things we think he'll be doing with it--other than cruising the town with the top down!

I've always wanted to build a false floor from wheel well to wheel well and from the tailgate to the back of the rear seat. The plan was to have storage pods in this area for stuff that he could leave in the truck without have it..."borrowed". The fishing pole and camping gear came to mind. We would have to build another storage pod for when the back seat came out, something we could bolt in and remove fairly easily. We could even leave it in full time and bolt the back seat to it, top on or off. Who knows?

But, the key to it all is having the side panels as a permanent feature, and I think we're on to something.
