    Had a good look at them today, unreal how well you've done mate. Darren and I were comparing at supercheap today and nothing came close.
    Nice bit of product placement on the label!

    Haha - yeah, AB's wheel bag got a look in. Had the rum goggles on when I took that photo too. Had been a long day of driving and we pulled up in one of the old road quarries for the night.

    Thanks for the feedback. Be great to get some photos of the boxes being used and any comments on how they go. We were sent a nice video by a bloke on Facebook yesterday giving them the big thumbs up. He had tied them down on the slide on his drawers beside the fridge. Looked like they sat there really nicely too.

    Just had a quick shuffle around with 3 x boxes in the back of the family wagon. Have been meaning to get rid of the Titan 80+kg drawers for a while.

    They do sit perfectly atop of the Titan fridge slide though, even with the Waeco CF80L on the right.

    Just can’t quite slide it all the way out with the 3rd rear one on top but thinking only two in the back will be fine for us for now. Others can go up top on the racks

    Got mine today. I knew it'd be a good'un, but it's actually way more solid than I had thought it would be. Thanks Ben.

    Pic of my wife showing that aside from storage the box will easily replace the folding step I carry to make access to the Patrol's engine compartment easier.

    Could double as a fishing box. Ha ha!

    DSC00084.jpg

    But it's main purpose is for storage of Kitchen gear. Carried in the rear of the Tvan, where the folded tent (in the Tvan's rear door) hods it securely in place, but is placed outside on the ground alongside the slide out kitchen at every camp. Stays out over night, & now we no longer have the need to ocky strap a lid on to keep a variety of outback critters from our gear. Could've promoted it as a 'dingo proof box'!

    Got ours yesterday. Have to say, very impressed indeed. Reinforcing under the rim, bloody tough product whick should hopefully take some punishment.

    Tested the weight baring by standing on one of @Avo and I can say they hold 115kg easy. They're a good height for sittimg on or using as a foot stool.

    The missus mentioned she'd like some wheels on them to make it nice n easy to move under tables etc.
