Just Browsing Show us your toolbox setup

[Smirke]

This what I run on the expanda and kept for the StarCraft. Just gotta move the gas bottles again, although mounting them inboard on a cradle this time. This box with the slides and dimensions was made for an expanda. I may not travel with a genie anymore so may make or buy a smaller one.

Hi achjimmy, could you provide dimensions for your box! It's just what we were wanting, however we home to have an engel where you have the bbq. Also, where did you source your runners from?
Thanks

Smirke I might still have the drawing somewhere. But I doubt you will fit an engel in under a Expanda bed

I saw a bloke up at airlie beach with a slide on his box, slide it up along side the annex opens up with the fridge webber and storage ready to go. Gas bottles were moved to just in front of the box. Wish I grabbed a photo

Me too. Sounds exactly what we want to do. Our Engels are the 40L ones and are approx 520mm high, including cover.

Much the same as others have done. Thanks for all the tips on how to install it. All up it cost me about $200 plus the box

Does that make much of a difference on your ball weight? What have you done with your spare wheel?

Here is my toolbox setup. Love the front opening. Still have access when bed is setup.

Can I ask where you got your box from?

Hi everyone, just installed a new toolbox on the front of my van but wondering what to do with the spare wheel? Its the large offroad mag wheel too.

 

[chartrock]

G'day Warren, search through the forum, a lot of members have shifted the spare to either the rear bumper bar or under the rear with a wind down winch. I tried both and preferred mounting on the rear bar.

"Ditto" to what @chartrock said re the rear bar install

Hi CrazyMOBB, do you have an extended drawbar?

 

[Lol88]

This is mine. Bottles in the middle, generator & fuel at one end, hoses in front of the bottles, weber baby q at the other end. Wdh bars sit next to BBQ when not in use, and the rattle gun for the alko legs sits there as well. Squeezebox ladder lies along the front of the box, can get to it from the side.

AFK is in the pole carrier.

Cheers

Have you reinforced the box at all? Or ever had any issues with the weight?

 

[Where to next]

Have also setup a system where 2 bikes sit on top of the box in an upright position and are held that position by an easy to set up bracket.

Any chance of a pic of the bike setup @Where to next ? Been thinking of doing the same!

 

[Where to next]

I had cleats welded to the drawbar which the bottom bracket that receives the tubing is bolts to. The rest comes together as you see it.

Thanks @Where to next that gives me something to think about... Only thing is our box has the angled lid!
