BTW I've got that same box. I cut 2 rectangle holes in the bottom of the box where the rear seat WAS
(those 2 welded-on loops where the seat attached), sat the box over them and wedged a
steel bar thru the loops from the inside of the box. Removable but difficult to steal.

I know they're charging 60/hour for labor, which is really not bad. They said to replace the bumper and install the fogs, about 3-4 hours. Around here, I've seen places charge upward of 120/hour. That's usually the stealerships though.

The place I'm having it done specializes in Jeep mods and repairs, so I know my baby will be in good hands. I'm going to a shop called "Endangered Species".

Thanks for the help on the boxes. I was hoping they might be waterproof... but, I will take what I can get!
Haha small world... I used to live in Belchertown MA, and I used to Bring my old CJ-7 and YJ to that same shop, "Endangered Species" in Holyoke! All those guys were really cool and they did good work, I'm sure there's some new faces there now but I highly recomend them. All my old wheeling buddies from MA swear by that place too!

Mine is a little smaller than this one, but costs $99 bucks from Northerntool.com

It can be locked with a padlock, but I don't

They're made of diamond plate aluminum and are VERY light

Yes, they came highly recommended... I did ask around a bit. they are still in Holyoke. I've been dealing with a guy named Todd... he's very easy to deal with, which is cool. I'm still a Jeep noob... LOL.

It Is a small world though!

JKKAT and Jimbo...

Yes, something more along those lines... a little smaller than Kat's is all I need.

I'll check out Northerntool. Thanks!
