hoyden, that tire iron brings to mind the cross in a skull and cross bones. please tell me that's not where you normally store it, LOL.

 

Container with a latching lid is a good idea. I think I might look for one to put on top of my cargo net idea, with the base strapped down. That'll give us one easy access place for stuff while driving (ahem).

Ha! Nope, I was re-muddling the space. :D

 

I don't recommend a hinged box unless you have the headroom to open it all the way.
I'm still looking for one with a removable lid that can be latched securely (that doesn't break the bank).

Some container suggestions:

https://www.frontrun...pak-hi-lid.html

 

https://www.frontrun...r-cub-pack.html

 

https://www.frontrun...el-latches.html

 

I've seen these in person, but no experience in using them. They are my current first choice, pending possibly finding something better, should gear packing boxes become needed.

Re: NTSQD’s links. I have used both the Wolf Pack and Cub Pack and prefer the smaller Cub for one simple reason...they’re easier on your fingertips to open. The standard plastic clips on the Wolfs often have a small rough tab from the manufacturing process right where you place your index fingertip to open the box. Ouch. I’ve snapped several while demonstrating “who's the boss”. Apparently others have also, hence the availability of the metal replacement clips. The Cubs use an easy slide mechanism that I like. I would also recommend FR’s flat pack soft-sided offering. I use it for items I’m less worried about crushing and I believe the Cubs fit nicely inside if need be.

I like those Wolf Pack boxes.

 

I currently have a couple different Plano sportsman's trunks. About 1/2 that price and will keep rain out if outside. My kitchen box is a fairly large one and sits on the fold back seat of the cab lased down with cam straps. I also have a smaller on that is sold as a Plano shooters box. I've been pretty happy with them for my needs. That make several sizes and made in USA.
