Some times it looks sounds better than it works. Point that box is pretty deep, and with various types and sizes of tools bashing around, might sound like a freight train coming at ya. With every thing over the end of the axle, whoo hoo, lol. Mount it temporary then decide if it will travel well.

A couple of thoughts...

Is it watertight? Crossing a stream could fill your tools with water and silt.

If a tool bounces out of the drawers, is it going to wedge and jam the drawer? Can you get it out without disassembling the box?

It looks like a good idea...just not sure how well it will work in real life :)

BTW, the poll says I voted to put the box in...but I didn't vote...???????????????????? Personally, I prefer a removable box, but that's just me. You need to do what is going to suit your needs best.

Should i mount the tool box?
