    Cargo Box with external Battery

    I needed more space for tools, gear, etc that is always with the Argo and also wanted to secure the external battery. This cargo box fits perfect and I put the Optima Yellow top inside a battery box bolted inside the cargo box. Both are secured and keeps things from moving around and out of the weather.

    Great idea. Fits perfectly. Straddles the humps in the floor pan and stays in place. Where did you get the tool box?

    WalMart - Sterilite brand. Wanted one with metal latches and hinge so it doesn't break in the cold.

    I went out to the garage and dug the label out of the garbage.
    In case you cannot read the label:
    Mfg: Sterilite
    Part#: 1842LAB9-Black
    Dims: 31 1/4" L x 17 5/8" W x 13 7/8" H

    Those dims include the lid section which is larger. The area below the lid is 28" L x 16" W x 12" H.

    Why the external battery out of curiosity?

    The previous owner relocated the battery to behind the seat. It didn't have a battery when I purchased it and I put in a Optima Yellow top tarp strapped behind the seat. Didn't like that and decided to bolt the battery in the storage box. Didn't need to worry about gassing with the Optima AGM battery. I could put the smaller battery back under the hood, there are pros/cons to doing that.

    Right on. Just curious if there was some intention outside of that. I have equipment behind my seats, otherwise I could consider doing same for more room or weight balance.
