Ive been following this guys progress on a different forum, in setting up his new business making storage boxes for the load area of Defenders

Barebox.co.uk

I genuinely have no connection to his business, but the boxes seem to be getting lots of praise, so thought I'd spread the word.

No, I havent. But folk on the landrovernet defender forum seem quite pleased with them. I think he was initially just making them for the forum members, but has since set up a new business out of it.

they are only made out of 1mm sheet steel, that's a lot of money for something you could make yourself with some rivets a jigsaw and a folder improvised outta some angle iron

might be more cost effective if they offered them without the galv - nice to have but does a box intended for use inside really need to be galvanized ?

bit thin, thicker gauge metal would be an advantage

now if it was powder coated 3mm plate and had multi point locks-would be good.
I was expecting van vault type of job, but custom defender fit.

As an insecure storage compartment-ideal for keeping your crap in
