SO side box find and a question

[jeepmedic]

I found this side box on CL for $100 while not a you **** it was a decent deal, needs cleaning bad and a little TLC. My question is has anyone ever hung 2 sides off the same side of the main box? I already have a box off each side of my main. I have included pics of my current setup too. I am looking at hanging it off the right hand side.

Hook that on the left side and put the master series end cab top cab what ever it is just sitting on a peice of plywood next to the box.

Since the krl add on doesn't exactly match up with a heritage series box.

Hang it off the right side. You shouldn't have a problem

Thats a you **** thats a 250.00 box up here for some reason people pay $$$ for them?

 

[fordbroncodave]

$100 is a steal for that! i would pay at least $200 for it right now

 

[Deer Run]

I would say that you got a Great Deal on that box for $100. Well done.

the one currently on the right is a 3 drawer 2 shelf one, my OCD is pushing me to put the new drawer one there and then hang the drawer/shelf one in the end. The part that ***** is that top box is 300lbs empty and the black top is made out of 2x12's and is bolted down to the main box. I also have been contemplating not using the door on the drawer one. (home box no locks needed).

If one looks long enough, more or larger tool boxes will come. I've many, many medium-size top and bottom boxes, but only one side box and not particularly proud of it.

Have you considered a second top/bottom set for the less-often-used tools?

This is a bargain box actually It has been collected off CL the bottom Main and right side box was $1000, the KRL side was $250 and the HF top was $275 on sale with coupon. including the new side I am into it for $1625 plus the lumber/bolts/paint so $1650 which isnt bad at all. I am currently in a 12'x20' single car garage which is way over stuffed but I will be here atleast a couple more years. I also just 26" Cman stack for the boys which might end up having to be in the shed.

I used to have three side cabs hooked on my old KR combn the left was a set of drawers and then a small locker type hanging off that.Another small locker on the right side.Made it hellish to roll around but mine usually didn't go far.

Thanks my major concern was weight/balance, Mine doesnt have to move at all until I upgrade to a better place after the wife graduates.

If you load both side cabs to capacity, you might have a problem. Put some 2x4's or something underneath just to help support the weight of the extra side cab. If you load both side cabs to capacity, you might have a problem.

They just hang off the lip edge, I can get you a pic later I am at work tonight.

 

[crewchief888]

um maybe

those boxes are 23 years old now, and were heavily loaded for a long time.
one set of friction slides were replaced about 3 years ago, they're all still smooth opening, and the box frame hasnt twisted, or bent.

 

[jeepmedic]

Got it put on and left the door off for now, not sure about but it will prolly stay off.

 

[jim m]

why not build a 2 by 6 frame with its own casters and just park it next to your box

It was a special order from the catalog they have on top of the deal with all the sale ads as you walk in the door. it was on sale for $349 no shipping charges to the store and i used a 20% coupon so $280.
