| SWEET looking box, looks heavy though....what are the dimensions and weight? Is this something you built or can I run out and buy one somewhere?
Well, thanks for the compliments on the box I made last winter, its just another attempt to carry only what I need in the smallest box possible.
It is not too heavy, much lighter than the other boxes I've had. Dimensions are 14" tall, 16"deep, 8.5" wide. I carry 1gal (can) of fuel and my tx in it. The only thing I would have done different is put the battery and starter compartment on the bottom, the way it is now, its top-heavy so I have to put it in the truck next to something so it doesn't tip over.
I like aluminum boxes, they are easy to clean and there's no paint to peel.
You can build one, go to a sheet metal co, they can cut the panels for you, then just bolt it up. I used aluminum angle for the corners. Takes some time though, I spent about a week on mine. We made one for Maxx, just a little different, his battery is on the bottom and it has a door over the entire front. Maybe I can get him to post a pic if you want it.....
Hope this helps! |
