Hello Everyone,
We just signed up as a sponsor of this Storage Solutions forum and would like to introduce our new Caribou Quick Fasten Cargo Box & Case products.
Caribou Quick Fasten Cargo Box Systems™ provide tough, waterproof, secure quick attach & release storage for Jeep, Truck, SUV, Trailer, RV, Boat and many other platforms. No more unsecure straps, troublesome stretch cords, and bolted-in metal boxes that reduce cargo space versatility. Our YouTube video is here... http://www.youtube.com/user/cariboucases#p/a/u/1/O0eioiX3umc
First, a bit about the boxes & cases we use. Caribou Cargo Boxes and Cases (manufactured by Pelican & others) are made from a super-tough copolymer plastic – they will not crack and shatter like hard plastic and will not dent, rust and leak like metal boxes. Meeting stringent MIL-Specs for impact, chemical/UV resistance, and water-proofness, they are relatively light-weight for their size but built to take military-style abuse, and they are covered by the manufacturer's lifetime guarantee. Here are the details...
Offered in eight sizes from 1538 cu-in to 7308 cu-in. Many models are equipped with wheels and pull handles for easy transport, and optional internal foam is available.
Weatherproof NEMA-4 rated keyed locks are integrated into the cargo box and case lids for security, and a rubber o-ring seals the lid for complete waterproof storage. An automatic pressure valve regulates internal pressure when changing altitudes.
Now about our new Quick Fasten System. Caribou QFS™ allows Cargo Boxes & Cases to be securely attached and removed from the vehicle in seconds. The unique Caribou QFS™ patent pending device provides theft resistance while you're away from the vehicle and unsurpassed convenience when you arrive at camp, work site, or anytime you need to free-up space in the vehicle's cargo area. A simple quarter-turn of 2 fasteners and you can lift-off the box or case.
Several styles of Caribou QFS™ are offered including a version for Yakima and Thule racks. You have a choice of external-to-the-case fasteners or internal-to-the-case fasteners. Optional coated steel channel rails in lengths ranging from 18" to 40" make installation a breeze by requiring only 4 holes and mounting points, and you can position the box or case anywhere along the rails. Caribou QFS™ is also offered separately as DIY kits for securing ammo cans, drawer systems, and other projects. Basically, you can customize the cargo box and fastening system to your exact needs. This is a very flexible system. Here are some examples...
7300 Series Box with External Quick Fasten & Rails On Yakima Rack:
Here we have the 7300 Box with the External Quick Fasten System and our 40" coated steel channel rails designed for Yakima racks. A special security key required to turn the front fasteners, and you pull the case forward to disengage the rear forks from the flange bushings on the bases.
2100 Series Case Internal Quick Fasten Version with Rails On Yakima Rack:
Here we have a 2100 case with the Internal Quick Fasten System and our rails on a Yakima rack. Pel-Locators™ under the case provide easy “No-Sight” alignment of the case with the fastener bases, and increase shear strength (scroll down to learn more about Pel-Locators™
. A key lock is integrated into the case lid, so when the lid is locked shut the fastener is not accessible and you have security.
5500 Series Box with External Quick Fasten System™ In Truck Bed:
Here we have the External QFS™ Bases bolted to the bed of the truck. No rails were used for a low profile.
2100 Series Internal Quick Fasten Version In Truck Bed Vertical:
Here we have the 2100 case mounted vertically with the Internal Quick Fasten System and our coated steel channel rails.
Pel-Locators™
We offer 4-Packs of Pel-Locators™ that when screwed down to a cargo deck will keep Pelican cases from sliding around and enable only one strap to be used to tie-down the case. The Pel-Locator™ is designed to closely fit the oval lugs on the bottom of several Pelican cases (1520, 1550, 1600).

Over the next few months we'll instroduce a few new variations to our Quick Fasten System including one that will fasten fridges and an aircraft track compatible system.
Caribou has been offering modified Pelican cases as part of our Caribou Motorcycle Luggage for several years and performance has been outstanding where crashes on rough terrain are common. This legendary toughness will serve Jeep, Truck, SUV, Off-Road and Commercial Vehicle customers equally as well and surpass any cargo box system available today in features, function and price. Other industries that may benefit from the use of Caribou QFS™ products include Air/Rail/Truck Cargo Systems, Specialty Vehicle, Aerospace, Construction, Electronic Enclosures, Military, Fire & Rescue, Law Enforcement, Boat, RV, Trailers, Motorcycles and more.
