Great idea for low cost. I like pelican boxes or MTM case gard products simply due to ease of use.

I have one model 1819 and was looking for a second. Found them here for $30 with shipping and tax. http://www.academy.com/shop/pdp/plano-storage-locker#repChildCatid=3516443

We use these surplus Hardigg (Pelican) cases (http://cases2go.com/resize/Shared/Images/Product/MEDICAL-SUPPLY-CASE-29-X-18-X-10-ID/472-MED-30180802-low.jpg), because they’re waterproof/dustproof and easily robust enough to stack and sit/stand upon. They fit 2 across in the rack with space to securely strap them down. We bought them on a sale for <$100ea. Only downside is that they're strong enough that it's tempting to pack them too heavy.

Love my Plano boxes. My needs are slightly different. We have a few smaller boxes for our camping gear to be organized. The gear all stays separated in our water tight offroad trailer so we don't need to condense it into just a couple boxes because it hardly ever needs to be transported far outside the trailer. Looks like you have your packed for efficiency.

[QUOTE="Jose, post: 36856, member: 4667"]Cool I've been looking for some boxes big enough for a family of four that would fit the Gobi Roof that I'm getting for my JKUR. With the checklist that you posted up earlier I'll be showing this to my wife cause I'm pretty sure she will add some stuff to it cause of my two boys 9 and 6. Lol[/QUOTE]

Great!

Hey Dan,

Ya – these are great for weekend trips, but if you want to stand on em, or use em as a raft, you’ll need something different. These have been good for me without concern for water or dust for about 4 years now, but they are NOT heavy duty.

I like the idea of using these cases but my concern is their water and dust resistance. That could probably be corrected by adding some weather sealing but I’m considering something more durable for my upcoming trip to Alaska from the lower 48. Thanks for the info!
