Found this yesterday is anyone needs a bigger box.

Husky 48 in. Job Box-BMJB4824D - The Home Depot

Finally got around to doing something with that wasted space under the seat. Had enough old vinyl covered aluminum to make a box about 5" inches deep.

Two more things I've done for more places to put stuff....

Got the pocket pouches at Menards. They are made with a tab to slip into your pocket and hang outside. They slip out of the paracord loop when you need them out. The Maddog bags just hang on the door with paracord. Seems to work well this way.

TRACTOR SUPPLY aluminum 46 in. truck box fits perfect and is waterproof and dust tite. Very sturdy and well made and lockable. Every long gun that i have except shotguns will fit in the box.View attachment 8272

That's the same box I have on my rig. Light and big.

What's the best way to fasten it to the rack?

What's the best way to fasten it to the rack?

Made a bed out of 1/2" plywood that fit the rack dimensions. Then I used nuts and bolts with lock washers in front and back
where I could get a wrench in there. Self tappers in the middle. Take a look @JACKAL P500 build. That was the starting platform for what I did,
then just put your own twist on it. Jackals build should be the mandatory first read for anyone building a P5...
you'll pick up a ton of ideas and info there. He didn't get the title of ancient guru for nothing.

I mounted a box like yours, at first I had it all the way forward against the cage. I noticed the noise level increased a bunch. Glad to see you moved it toward the back. I ended up doing that

I am not meaning this to sound like its a bad thing, just trying to help.
Have you ever considered using the rubber Jeep hood hold down "thingy's" to hold that box on. Should mount up very well and allow access to that box when you need it.

Did you really say "thingy's"????

My box is mounted as close to the cage as possible while still opening.
Have a sub mounted in there...
250 watts and that noise level goes away!!

Hi yall I just put my first 50 miles on my new P5 and I love it. Bot I had to go back to work in Africa ( Congo ) and I will be there for the next 6 weeks. Can't wait to get home and put meany more miles on it. First thing I'm going to do is to put a windshield on it, winter is coming. I bought it with 26"tires on 14 in. rims, a top and a 4000 lb. winch. I have seen so many different ways to make my P5 better that it is hard to see where to start but I'm sure I will have a great time finding out. I will post some pics as soon as I can figure out how.
