Toolbox recommendations
« on: June 20, 2018, 03:51:05 PM »
So the toolbox on the front of the CT is quite small and a nice large one would easily fit. I'd like to incorporate the pole holder if possible. We already have the electrics in it, so those will need to go in. We use a battery box on top of the pole holder, but ditching the pole holder and relocating the battery internally would also be great. I can fit up to 1700x700. The current one is 1250x400.

Anyone have any recommendations (and indicative prices)?

The current toolbox is below.

I got a box custom made by this mob and was very pleased with the quality and service.

I got 2 boxes made at different times.

Had the large box made first to replace one like yours. But man you can store so much Shit in there!!

Then had the second box folded up to store poles, and to sit 2 batteries on top of..
Easily accessible this way.



My only issue with Toolbox Center Mitcham was the welding on the displayed boxes and trailers looked like something from a pelicans arse dropped from 30,000ft hitting a Echidna.

Any idea on the price difference between a custom made box and a comparable ‘off the shelf’ unit?
