17' Series 2014 17.56-2 storage box

[Darren Bundy]

Hey Darren, I bought my stone guard through Abba Caravans in Rockingham, Perth. The guard is made by JB Caravans and cost was $500 roughly. Might seem a bit steep, but I couldn't make something as neat as this one and it bolted straight to the A-frame.

Thanks GUlewis. I will check them out next week. What's another 500 on the mod list eh :greedy_dollars:

Guys, one of our members makes something similar for that application. @Stone Stomper does a wonderful job. I think he will have a website.

Thanks macca, these look great. Will do sum more research and decide if to make one myself or not....

How do you find tbe storm cover? I was tossing up if I should get a cheap cover or go the whole hog and get the storm cover.

Storm cover is unreal very easy to put on and worth the coin.

Does any one know the largest size storage box avalible for a 2014 17.56-2 with the extended A-frame? Im looking for a black checker plate model. Any options or plans appreciated.

I have a box, that I have designed and is now with a manufacturer for a quote, it will go on a 2014 17:56 1 with the extended chasis., and I have asked for it in Black Checker Plate also. When I get the quote and the final design I can let you know if you like. Box is approx 1800 by 920 in centre of van, side fan back to match the Deflector Stone Guard. Cheers Ben

Here is my recent modification to our 17.56 OB Expanda , Moved the gas bottles and installed 1000wx500hx600d ali toolbox purchased from blackwoods for $320, next step is to build a frame to house spare wheel under front of van as there is plenty of room.

 

[vasco pyjama]

Just the cost of box as I said was $320 plus consumables such as angle and welding materials and braided gas hose so I would guess no more than $500 all up

i
This is my box. Didn't want to go to wide and affect my turning circle. My cruiser has a kaymar tyre carrier.

 

[vasco pyjama]

Looks good. What is the set up covering your gas bottles?

 

[Danniel jenkins]

Bottles are mounted back in original location with factory mounts. There are drain holes in the bottom behind each gas bottle. Also relocated the jack and factory mount into here as well.

Going to change the copper lines to stainless flexi lines.

 

[vasco pyjama]

yes braided hose is the go just keep it out of the sun when possible.Where did you relocate your spare to ?

 

[Danniel jenkins]

under the back. Cut down my landcruiser spare wheel carrier

 

[vasco pyjama]

was thinking about installing it up front section of van but that looks ok as well

 

[Danniel jenkins]

I put it at the rear for better weight distribution .

 

[vasco pyjama]
