Morning, we haven’t yet. I wanted to check here to see if we just missed something lol. Probably will do that today. Other than that it looks nice, but it has a ton of movement.
Apologies for butting in. I bought mine 3 years ago and it only came with two brackets, and you can see there are only notches in the bottom edge in the middle of the sidewalls and holes drilled for two brackets. Besides adding 4 of my own brackets, I ditched the wing nut knobs for regular hardware which allows you to tighten things together better for added rigidity. Unless you’re going to be frequently taking the box in and out, there’s little point to the wing nut knobs In my opinion. I added the extra brackets because I keep a lot of weight under there and wanted more strength in the event of a rollover offroad.
That's an unbelievable deal at $200 shipped. Someone must have been cleaning out their garage and wanted it gone.
Thanks for the ideas and insight here. That may be the way that I have to go. It’s just adding more anchors. We felt like we did something wrong installing it because it was so flimsy. The back left corner can come up so much that somebody could put their hand underneath it and not that that is a worry just more so for sharing how much it can come up. I was just trying to see if there was another way or if we did something wrong before adding more anchors.
I don’t remember mine lifting quite that much but it’s been a while. I can tell you the brackets they provide could be made to work at the mounting points in the floor nearest the tailgate If they will sell them to you, or if you can make a case for them free because of your dissatisfaction. But if you want to attach to the back wall you will want something like the Simpson strong-ties because of the distance to that bolt, if I remember right the back wall isn’t at a 90 and I bent the bracket in a vise slightly. I’m sure you can figure all this out yourself, but if I can help with any pics or info let me know.
Thank you for all the help and ideas! We are super excited about the enclosure but this wobbly part makes us not so sure about it. I’ll try a few more things. I feel pretty confident we have it in correctly
My main problem with the flimsyness of it is that it makes the lid really hard to open and close since the whole box shifts around
Once I made the rollers smaller, my lid opens and closes easily. The sides aren't super solid, but they aren't flimsy enough to impact the functioning of the lid. I'm using the 1 L bracket per side but do plan to add 1 more per side.
Was thinking the same thing, but have no data other than price.
