i was thinking about doing that. Just need to go and pickup a tour box for a shop.

I like the idea but I'd like to see it as a chopped tour pack. Maybe you could do a full size and a chopped.

Here's one I've been thinking about. This just modifies the lid, so it would be an inexpensive modification. You would also be able to upgrade the hinges at the same time. Similar to some sports cars.
kinda like this, but not so much like a hump

and this is my idea

I love the idea of a full size pak with a false floor (maybe folding in case I needed to move it and put something larger in from time to time). I could store tools or items that I don't need in immediate reach under there mostly. I will follow this thread and see how it turns out as I'm in the market for a tour-pak for our new SG.

When extra storage space is needed, make a couple adjustments inside and the tour pak is now 6 inches taller!
