Default XJ Rear storage solution

Found this box at Tractor Supply for $99. Fits well, locks and the lid stays up.

I have a swing away and don't run a lift or big tires so it works for me. I just needed a lockable place to keep stuff I don't want the general public to look in and see. Firearms, gear, Etc.

Nice big box for sure one I had not saw before. I use 3 large plastic box's in the rear of mine marked for different items, then a series of nylon zipper bags and packs to fill around them.


I did mount several U-Bolts through the floor so that I can use 11/4" ratchet straps to hold everything down in the rear.


The locks on that box will only last about 20-30 seconds to open for someone wanting into it. Like most all locks they only keep honest people honest, sad to say.

True enough... If someone wants into your stuff bad enough they're going to get into it.

9/10 of that battle is keeping things out of plain, easy sight, which this would do nicely... it fits that spot really well. I might have to find one of these.

Edit: found myself in TSC this morning and got my hands on one to check it out... Man it's nice but a hundy is an awful lot for a big piece of blow-molded plastic...
