Default Storage Ideas wanted

Okay, I posted this question on the General discussion section and no one responded so I’ll try my luck here.

Maybe it is a stupid question but everybody’s gotta learn some how!

I want to put a couple storage boxes in the engine compartment but don’t know what kind to get or how to secure them.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Wow, that looks awesome, Steel!

I assume that is polished aluminum diamond plate?

How is it secured? Did you use a urethane glue of some sort?

No the bottom piece is screwed to the fiberglass with the screws for the hatch actuators. Then I just used self drilling screw to hold the vertical boxes and dividers. Worked out great.

Did you have that storage box made or did you buy it that way?

I work at a metal fabricator. I did the drawings then we fabricating them in the shop. The only problem is you have too take out a lot of stuff to install them.

The Outlaw came with one storage box already in the engine compartment. I LOVE yours though. Looks GREAT! Good job.
