Mike thanks for your response, I'll follow up later tonight with interior drawer pictures, final product and hardware pictures. The "low profile" hardware is specific to the 80 series M10-1.25 captured nuts located in the body; the head design of the hardware is a pan style, with custom washers to fit the this low profile application for a more stout install.

Van,

Will you be offering these in kit-form at some point down the line? Been following your thread on Mud, may be interested later this year (like, after my tax return ).

Thanks!

Appreciate the kind words. I have thought about making these to sale as a kit, but the price margin for most of the boxes is really competitive, add shipping cost and well it's really tough to justify. If you are still interested or others are interested I would consider it. In the meantime Adventure Trailer makes a awesome box or boxes if you like, they customize, and they even make DIY kit, ask for Mario. This is basically a "one off" consider it a "collector's item"- LOL!:smiley_drive:

Up coming trip 18-20 March to Hoosier National Forest, south-central indiana, will allow me to meet you for delivery, requires driving on you part, but will equal big savings against shipping. Extended delivery options to Louisville and Cincinnati are also optional. PM if interested.
