Wheel arch toolbox

Post by Thabogrobler »

I have seen this while working in the USA and would like to build one in the recent future: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Auto-ATV ... t104633280" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


What do you guys think?

For me it will work brilliant in my Kz(Work truck) as I need tools the whole day and I am fed up crawling into a bakkie!

Pretty good idea, should work well. :think: The only thing is that it's a bit too small, you would have to have one on each side and then it becomes a bit pricey in relation to what there is available here. I carry 3 full sized tool boxes with me and one of the benefits is that if I require a particular range of tools, I can carry the whole box to the work point which saves running back and fro.

Ja, I do aswell.

But I pack the tools I need in a bucket and that way do not have to carry 40kg+ of tools around all day.

Yep, I have open carry boxes for that but so often one needs something that wasn't anticipated. Either way, I have to give my crew something to do otherwise they get lazy! :lol:
