k5 cargo box anyone have?

[Icemanf4i]

Does anyone have a nice cargo box in there k5 that fills the cargo area. I would like to get one since i do a lot of hunting , target shoorting, outdoors stuff and thought it would be nice to have a cargo box to hold those items. Kind of like the ones used in the tv show 24 , the ones in the back of there suv's. Post pics if you have one or have seem one.

I think tuffy has them for the back of the k5s that slide out. There was one in the for sale forum.

Keith was selling his. It was definatly durable.

I used an army surplus medical storage box. Secured to the bed floor (plates under the bed). Maybe you need something bigger, but if not it's pretty cheap storage. I also have a long low surpluss storage box - 6" high, maybe 20 inches wide and 48 inches long.

I will have to post a pic... but I have a custom box that I built about 7 years ago... i made it out of aluminum and holds a ton of stuff including a lot of gun equipment! you might also want to look in to pelican cases, i use them also for my handguns and rifles when they are being transported.

2 removable crossbar tubes of the rollcage bolted to the cage proper. Welded tabs under the deck pieces, rollcage and support crossbars all align so locking hitch pins and/or locks secure the deck to the cage. The support crossbars aslo have plates to support the deck pieces.

Anything really heavy under the deck like that supply box is bolted to plates under the bed. The toolbag and winch bag also have tie downs under the deck so in case of rollover they don't smash thru the deck.

The entire deck locks with the latches you see topside, underneath and in front. I still have to lock the tailgate, then the whole thing will be pretty secure from theft. Then I'm going to go over it again and maybe add some additional pieces to secure the entire deck more than it is now, in a high speed roll.

Overbuild, I say.

Hi Ski,
What type of box is it exactly? Like for ebay or Surplus store searching.

Thanks.

I picked up a diamond plate over the rail box for a 6' bed at Lowes, it had a dent on the bottom so I got it for 50. It goes against the back seat and still leaves me a little room to the tailgate for the spare.

It's an army medical supply box. Got it at The Supply Sargent in Burbank. I'm sure you can find one at any army surplus. I thought cheaperthandirt.com had them at one time too.

I talked to keith last night and the big Tuffy box is still for sale, but I don't think he has the hook up on shipping anymore. Shipping that thing cross country might be a pain, its big.

Here is the link if you want to try to get a hold of him:

mines not full sized but I really like how it came out and how it works.
It started life as a cell tower equipment box. after cingular sold it off for scrap I bought it and stripped it out. it is all aluminum and has a door on the front and the rear. here are some pics.
