I'm about to buy an xB, just waiting for the 2006 models to come in

In the meantime, I was browsing Scion's website and while reading the features for the xB, I came across this:

Cargo Area Under-floor Storage

How big/small is this storage area? I'm assuming it's pretty small.

I've always liked to carry some basic tools inside all my vehicles. I was just wondering if this storage area under the cargo area was enough to accomodate a very small, basic toolbox, or maybe even just some jumper cables.

Can someone be so kind as to take a picture of this storage area?

Thanks in advance

 

The storage area is big enough for a small toolkit. That is it on the right, under the mat. The cover lifts off to expose a foam holding area. Yes it is watertight, and yes you can put beer and ice in it.



It's about 14"x18"x6" (complete guess)

 

...or you can put a sub in there. audioformz.com has sone:

 

some more info for you. Your spare tire is on the left, so no room there. But next to it is about 8" deep. I keep a small Craftsman socket set, a Leatherman tool, a Camelback (canteen), SureFire flashlight, and our first aid kit that came with the car, the car's manual, & a small umbrella. Oh yeah, and a Emerson folding knife. I was a boy scout, can you tell? "Be prepared." It's a small space, but you'd be surprised how much it will store. Sorry no pics.
Good luck with yours!

In the right side compartment I have jumper cables. 1/4" metric socket set and a canvas roll of tools including pliers, screwdrivers, and ratcheting wrenches. It is packed, but I have what I think I need.....

 

I keep essentials in that space in my xB, too... glass cleaner, cotton terry cloths, small spray
cleaner, small spray wax, micro-fiber cloths, silicone lube, tire shine, screwdrivers, pliers,
adjustable wrench, tire pressure gauge, duct tape, electrical tape, small prybar, hammer... :D

 

I won't be putting any subwoofers or anything like that

It's going to be strictly for emergency items such as a small toolset, jumper cables, and a flashlight

Can someone take a picture of the actual storage area opened up? I need a better idea of how big the storage area is

Thanks in advance

 

I'll get one in a couple hours if no one has posted one yet.

 

I use it to store my golf shoes and the like. Very convenient.

 

Got pics?

 

Here you go

 

I keep jumper cables and an amp in there. There's room for a good amount of stuff.

 

I still like the idea of putting beer in there

 

One of my favorite storage spaces for the xb.

 

My storage area became a sub enclosure. Now there is nothing for I have installed air ride.

 

thanks so much for the pics guys
