    Default Vs ute toolbox

    hi guys just woundering, as im a tradie (sparky) and i need to put a few toolboxes in me ute on either side preferably with the wheelwell cut out so they sit flush on the side's descent size tool boxes from front to back im thinking, i need that space in the middle to fit me ladder and stuff so the tool boxes have to sit flush up the sides and not go over the top so i can still have me soft cover on.

    just woundering if anyone had seen a setup for this or has any plans or and info as such to make some or wat not

    Thanks

    You're a tradie, ask a builder or your boss :S

    What I would do is get a roll bar to lean the ladder on so you can get one toolbox that goes at the back of your tray. easy as! Plus you get a shmick roll bar.

    there was some on Ebay for the sides of a VG-VS ute, with the correct gaps (One wheel arch being longer then the other), they were in Sydney, could always search and see if they are relisted.

    cant cut the wheel arches out as the wheel needs to go in there, unless you want it looking like a truck. honestly and most around here do (new ve Utes) tow a trailer, others have rodeos and Colorado's with the tray but the commodores have trailers usually

    there is shit all room in the boxes if you do that not even enough for a drill box haha best bet would be to buy a hard cover and bolt roof racks on it for ladder etc and set tools out in tray
