Late to the game, to say the least, but here's another option for cool box storage. This is my own design that i'm 3-d printing at home and selling on etsy for staggering amounts of money so I can get richety-rich-rich ASAP. For all you who don't dig 3-d printed stuff, fair enough and no need to disparage. I totally get it. I just don't have any big-time manufacturing chops, so this is it.

This has been a free-time project for many months, and i think i finally have something that i'm happy enough with to share. In the meantime, lots of outfits have filled in what was a nearly complete gap back in July when i got the truck, so guessing most of you all have something you're already happy with and this overpriced and tardy offering will be of no interest. But if not, here's the listing.

Love the GX550 silhouette.

Just to clarify....the basic item is the lower box and the upper tray...seems straightforward enough.

Then is the blue arrow below pointing to a plastic, 3D printed can holder (the "can insert" option)?

And is the yellow arrow pointing to a plastic, 3D printed, hinged storage box (the "box insert" option)?

Bingo. Sorry, this is my first attempt at something like this, and clearly need to think a couple things through more in terms of conveying the idea. The hinged box goes in the front left compartment of the box as situated in this pic. The can goes in the cooling cylinder in the rear-right. Glad you noticed the silhouette, fun little addition.

Thanks bluegill, appreciate the feedback.

Very slick - but if you really want to print money - ditch the 'cool box organizer' name and call them "extreme Overlanding emergency storage interface units.' Paint them signal read and incorporate a flashing beacon on them or put a on USB port that does nothing. You'll be pumping them out the door for $249 each.

Daayyummmm, now there’s a marketer!
 
This is pretty cool. Does the little silhouette get in the way of closing it at all? I'm assuming not, but thought I'd ask.

Hey GAIAGX. Wish i'd been as clever as you and had thought about it up front. Instead I wasted a couple hours and a couple hundred grams of filament by going full front to rear edge on the silhouette my first try. Fortunately it was an easy fix though, and as pictured everything fits just fine.
 
Michael just hand-delivered my new cubby storage box. I must say, this thing is very nicely done. Can't wait to use it, will report back!
 
It's listed as sold out for me.
Hey @fftfk. Yeah, looks like @Mainelexus beat you to the punch by just a couple minutes. It takess a full night and morning on the printer, so I am only listing one at a time to avoid over-promising. If you like, I can give you a head's up prior to re-listing?

I would like to purchase one of these from you. Could you please let me know when one is available? Thank you.
 
Nothing to purchase!!! As a long time etsy shop owner, create multiple listings with extended processing time for your custom orders!
