That's pretty much what I did with my Boxer, but had the back full of storage boxes underneath and all the steps on the shelf, and also had another shelf in the side door compartment across the back for the drills etc... Would definitely do it like that again when I get another one.Finally took some pics of mine if you want ideas.http://picasaweb.google.com/Thesubneural/UntitledAlbum?feat=directlink
