Hey guys can you give me some ideas for setting up ones key machines,workbench,tool caddy etc.in the cargo area of an SUV(Specifically a Chevy Blazer or Dodge Durango)?I know a van would be the ideal choice,but I am on a budget and want to set up shop in a vehicle that I can use as an "everyday car".Thanks in advance.

PS:Here's a pic of the hatches of both of those aforementioned vehicles

If you are trying to save money, find a used two drawer vertical file-- it gives you lots of room for tools/stuff and a bit of secondary locking
protection. I like to put a file bar auxiliary lock on mine along with a decent padlock. I have paid $10+ for good old used vertical files and they are super heavy duty--I fill mine up with every color kwikset deadbolt and schlage deadbolt locks & the drawers can really take a beating year after year--You hafta really bolt them down good (just like anything else) because I'm sure you can imagine what can happen if your car runs into something & this thing crushes your head right after the airbag saves it :shock:
