My Plano in the back of the GQ was $150 odd has the big O ring seal in the lid but doesn't keep dust out which is disappointing given the blurb on them .
The trip were starting next week to the Cape and Kimberly makes me wish I'd looked into yours sooner for the back seat area , seats are removed and have a false floor but making good use of the area would be easier with the expedition box and we've been trialling different methods to make the storage of gear a bit neater and easier to get to .
Will look into it further for next years trip .

Two of these sit nicely side by side across the Patrol when the seats are rolled forward. With the seats out you would have access to all of the footwells as a bonus.

Foot wells gone I basically have a flat floor , the idea was with tubs and crates it's all easy to remove rather than dedicated shelves then I get to use the available room at other times when not on the tracks .

Guys, I am wondering if anyone might help me out with a very short questionaire? It would take about 5 mins of your time to answer 8 short questions. Basically I need some data for a conversation with the Accountants and it would help me out enormously.
Please PM me if you are willing and able.
Cheers in advance!
Ben
