    Options for flat-sided storage boxes?

    What options are out there for storage boxes that have flat sides, like the FrontRunner Wolf/Cub Packs and Alu-boxes? Doesn't necessarily have to be waterproof like those. Something that maximizes interior space would be ideal, it doesn't have to necessarily be as sturdy as a wolf pack.

    Mint "80" - Would You Have the Roof Cut Off to Install a Campteq?

    I definitely see those pop-top campers as an improvement, not just a piece of kit. I wouldn't even pause to think about it.

    Lets talk shovels

    yeah, but how good they are is pretty irrelevant to the wisdom in strapping $600 worth of equipment to the outside of your truck. My $60 shovel is strapped ontop of my $60 chinese x-bulls though.

    Ideas for Re-purposing spare tire storage?

    Right now I'm doing preliminary planning for a water system as a start. I think I can get a 10 gallon tank and a pump in there with room to spare. Possibly enough room for an air compressor and small reservoir as well. I would LOVE an auxiliary fuel tank, the Disco Sport has an abysmally small...

    Ideas for Re-purposing spare tire storage?

    I'm going to be putting a full-sized spare on my roof rack soon, and looking to do some serious upgrades to the storage area of my 5-seat 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Once the spare is on the roof, this leaves a TON of empty space below the load area, and given that the Disco Sport already...

    Hardware for mounting axe and shovel to roof basket?

    I'm looking for a solution for attaching my axe and shovel to my Rhino-rack XTray basket. Basically just need something that locks to a 1/2" pipe on one side, and can hold the axe/shovel handle on the other, but I'm not sure where to start looking.

    Let's talk about buckets

    my father has at least 20 large plastic paint buckets in his garage. To the best of my knowledge the man has never painted anything that required more than a single gallon in his entire life. Neither of us have any idea where they came from.
