Storage Boxes for Camping

Yeah...all I read was "caught a lot of fish."

That and "LIQUOR STORE".

That's fair, unloading the boxes just drove me nuts.

Because it's the size of this thing? I used to carry a 5 gal jug (like Primo) with a hand pump on the top, but they tip too easily. This is stable and effectively takes up less space than a 5 gal water jug.

Kidding of course, especially since I almost took 2 jugs last time.

Oh yeah, I got that. 7 gal is an odd number to carry though if you're not familiar with those cubes.

Isn't that where everyone starts a fishing trip?

Well I just got back from a trip to REI (not for boxes but can't help looking). They had those cubes as well as Yeti coolers (which are basically Yeti boxes but with insulation). There was also a 4 runner in the parking lot that had 2 Front Runners stacked on the roof.

When I get some extra cash I think I'm going to buy one of the Front Runners. The Yeti's are great but also just a fancier version of what I have and doesn't solve my problem of having to stack things up in a box.

Also found something else at REI I never knew I needed:

Only the good trips.

For anyone interested I did some more digging and Front Runner make dividers for the boxes:

I then looked at the address of Front Runner and it's just over in Agoura Hills. May take a drive over there this weekend to check them out. Looks like a cool store.

I know you were asking about storage boxes to put on the floor of your Jeep. But have you considered storage containers that will keep some of your camping gear off of the floor?

I installed these Magellan storage bags in my 392 before doing the Rubicon Trail two weeks ago, and I thought they worked great for overnight camping. I kept all of our food, pots and pans, utensils, bowls, plates, and personal hygiene items in the overhead storage bags. They saved enough room on the floor that I was able to keep our 28-quart cooler, bottled water, the tent, camp chairs, sleeping bags, air mattresses, and other items in the rear compartment without even lowering the rear seat.

Those are pretty interesting. My only issue against those are they block some of the view out the rear window although the reviews seem to say that it doesn't.

I'm going to try and consolidate some stuff on this next trip and see what works and what doesn't. Always looking to improve my camping setup.

Dumb question, but it looks like the corner/curve is greater than 90° and specifically for the 4-door; happen to know the fit for a 2-door?

They are real easy to install and remove, and I had planned on taking them back out after returning from the Rubicon. But after driving the Jeep for a few days with them installed I don't even notice a difference from before they were installed. I don't plan to remove them between camping trips anymore.

I think the rollbar angle is the same for a JL and a JLU in that area. I would think they would fit a JL, but would confirm that before buying.

Throw it in the back of the Jeep and go.

these appear a bit more structured and out of the way and fits well along roll bar. I have a Vector interior cargo shelf and these are supposed to work with that, too.
