Aforementioned build stalled...

After talking my design over with a couple people, and looking at my lack of a shop to build my intended storage unit, I decided to postpone my build of storage 'trunk' for the jeep. Until such a time where I have adequate resources and tools to accomplish my goal, this will have to do. It is secured to the tub by two bolts through the tub and into a cross member that were previously drilled for a tire carrier I had. Then I secured the back of the box to the back seat bracket bolts. I'll clean it up some more after Diego and I re-Herculine our jeeps again. Total cost to have a secure storage unit:
-$20 for box
-$6 for hardware (including eye bolts)
-$2 for shop time

If you put a 5200 series lock on that monster, it would be impenatrable!!!!

I like the 4 legged security system. I love DIY stuff. It's the military way.

Looks good!

The cargo tiedowns on top will come in handy.

Someone referred me to Pelican boxes, while applying the same method of storage. They're completely waterproof, so that may replace what I have. Still half the price of the tuffy one, can pick your size and style, and securable and waterproof. It'll make the list after tires, snorkel, synthetic rope.
