Abstract: An improved vehicle mounted storage unit and workbench, comprising a variably configured cabinet, upper lid with workbench surface, mechanisms for varying the cabinet's working height, slides and wheels for moving the cabinet, mounting brackets to fix the unit to a floor portion of a vehicle. The slides allow the cabinet to slide in and out of the mounting brackets, and contain a quick release feature allowing the unit to be dismounted from them and the vehicle without using tools.

Abstract: A vehicle mounted storage unit, adapted to be mounted to a floor portion of a vehicle having juxtaposed side panels and wheel wells that extend outwardly from each side panel by a first distance, and a vehicle surface a second distance away from the rearmost portion of the wheel wells that is perpendicular to the side panels and comprises the inner surface of a moveable tailgate. The storage unit includes two mounting brackets fixed to the floor portion of the vehicle adjacent to each side panel between the wheel wells and the tailgate. The mounting brackets have a width that is less than the first distance, a length that is less than the second distance, and a height that is less than the height of the side panels. The cabinet has a slide mechanism that allows it to move horizontally over the tailgate to its stops and back into a fully retracted position at the rear stops adjacent to the mounting brackets.
