Saw a crackin lockable box in lro international some months back. It fits exactly between the wheel boxes in a defender. And I've got a feeling it was the same height as the wheel boxes. the good thing about that was that you could stand say a dog cage on top , saving space . couldn't find it in this months I'll see if I can find it in any back issues I've got lying around.

this might be a handy site Forgetec4x4 makers of steering guards, sump guards, jackable sills & ground anchors

That'll be Mobile storage systems very very expensive.

There are similar boxes on Ebay much cheaper.

Also Anchor supplies had some Alloy storage boxes which looked quiet useful try their website.

forget mobile storage, i aint got that kinda $$$

 

[Pikey]

Cheap option I'm looking at is a couple of filing cabinet drawers side by side with the cabinet cut down & welded to suit. Not got any measurement yet but if you cut the top half of the drawer front off they should be just the right height.

Just found this on Fleabay cheaper than Mobile storage but then that wouldn't be difficult. Aluminium storage tool box landrover land rover 4x4 - eBay Vans Pickups, Commercial Vehicles, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 04-Oct-07 11:19:16 BST)

I'm just going to fabricate my own boxes to suit what ever my needs are, i think it'll be cheaper and i can get some light gauge steel if any one might be interested!

 

[Griffdowg]

do you think you could make me some up weyhey?

 

[Pikey]

All you need is a metal folder and a welder or a drill and pop riveter Not difficult to do.

 

[Griffdowg]

i wouldnt know what to do with the 1st 2 but drill and pop rivet might work. all my folds would be **** offline though... this id rather $$$$ someone or just buy a couple of wolf boxes.

[Pikey]

making a fold for a box is easy you cut out a cross shape on a piece of metal sheet with an allowance for the corners and the folder will put a nice neat crease in it for you I'm a bidding for a metal folder on Ebay at the minute. If I win it I'll be more than happy to make some up for you.

 

[Griffdowg]

... at a $$$. what will you be bending? i might think of making some up.

 

[Pikey]

well it says it'll bend upto 1.6mm steel and upto 637mm wide but there are ways to get round the length restriction

 

[stig]

ive got a 44" folder that will fold 1.2mm Steel and 3mm Alloy

 

[Pikey]
