I'm looking for a quality heavy duty box for the back rack on my 450ES.Wanting one that would likely stand up to the rigors of a light roll over without caving in on itself.Not the kind with a seat built in but just the box.Specifically black in color.Dimensions roughly 2'x3'x 1.5'-2' high.H20 resistant/proof a plus.Any info'd be appreciated.
Fishbone.

I use a US Army rocket box, got it from northern hydraulics. It is not quite as big as you are looking for and is green but it is a nice box.

Just a thought.

Cost about $22 sometimes you can get it on sale cheaper (Northern Hydraulics)

Used to U-bolts to clamp it to the rear rack. It isn't going any where. Used plastic tie downs to hold the handles tight (no rattle). Sealed all the holes with glue (had to drill some for the tie downs and where I put the divider in). Put foam (sticky backed) on the lid where it meets the box. Gets a pretty good seal. It is grean with yellow lettering but you can always paint it.

Army Man liked it so much he got two, one for each of his machines.
