Any harm in asking where you got 'em ??
Zeb, got them through a crowd in Athlone www.irvine.ie
Thing about them is you cant actually lock them. I put velcro under the lid so they are held securely but in transit when camping for example, I'd put a bungee over them to be sure.
How many are you looking for by the way, I can make some enquiries for you
Stu, one of the lads on here had told me about Argos selling 5 boxes in a set similar to W/Boxes - I just dont see them in the recent catalogue over here anyway. Worth checking their site
Edit: Found them on Argos and this is the company who supply them:

I uese the really usefull boxes from Staples.
They are nowhere near as robust as Wolf or other expedition boxes but are much cheaper.
I use the transparent ones also, so much easier to see what's inside.
I use the 11litre ones designed for chirstmas wrappng paper as theya re just the right length to go between the back of the seat and the tail gate when stacked 3 high.
You can get 2 stacks in half of the width of the cargo area so could still have one of the third row seats in place.
Very interested in the box system though Stu.

Well being me, I've gone completely mad, got excited about the project and gone into it all guns blazing!
I've had a quick measure and bought boxes, but I am concerned that they won't actually fit.
Any I've gone for:
The two 600 x 400 boxes are 425mm high
The three 400 x 300 boxes are 325mm high
On top of these I am planning on stacking 400 x 300mm boxes that are 114mm high
Then the 300 x 200 boxes are 220mm high so I've got 4 of them two on top of two.
I suspect these might not fit in as they will make the depth 1000mm which will be a struggle at 440mm high as the slope of the middle seats shortens the depth, but if they do then I'll just leave them out.
The boxes look good and strong, so I hope they will be good, I'm fed up with buying cheap plastic boxes and them not lasting.D3 HSE MY05 Auto

Yeah i know, but at least I've not done any cutting yet! If they don't all fit, then I'll just drop the 200 x 300 boxes out of the mix and then I'll be ok. I will take photos etc. as I go through the process.D3 HSE MY05 Auto
