I'm thinkin' there's enough of us running these boxes that Ridgid should become a supporting vendor...just sayin

So how is everyone securing their boxes in the bed? I wish the size larger box didn’t have the wheels and handle on it. I could use a scootch more room occasionally.

I drilled a hole in the side and put a eye-bolt in there with a big fender washer on the inside. worked great last trip.

I tried a loop on my second stack but it flexed the box a lot, so picked up a couple more bolts at fastnal

I know it seems like they would come loose but they don’t. In probably 500miles of rough trails they didn’t even once.

You got anymore pics of the boxes strapped down?

I don’t I’m not near it

It’s just a strap under the box and over each bolt.
I added tie down points under the factory bed bolts.

I see now. It's laced under the box and through the bolts! Thanks for clearing that up!

These Ridgid boxes almost lock into the grooves of the P1000 bed instead of sliding side to side .

They work shockingly well.

I saw some craftsman boxes that lock and stack at Lowe's today. It was 3 of them in 3 sizes, I think for around $90 or so for all.

I almost bought those. They are thinner than the Ridgid and I could not figure out how to mount the base to the Pioneer. They have a different mechanism to lock them together.

Re-opening this thread to see if anyone else has come up with some more storage options and pictures. Thanks.

Some updates to my original design.
Added more to the first aid, I hope I throw everything in that box away in a few years.

How do you get the Rigid boxes to stay stacked and what’s in the tube?
