I only use soft cooler bags for drinks, held buy bungie cores. Unless a hard cooler is packed full it will rattle everything around like dice in a Yahtzee can down the trail.

RM,

Yea please do, I designed my own horn with elec parts, auto parts, and fabed the mount. Also, I want to fab lock and ride fastners to my Kolpin Bucket carrier, it works great for Utility needs, holds lots of tools, tree/brush cutting tools, and I added my old bar rack type gun fins to it for shovels, bows, rifles, etc.

I walk past those every time I'm in the store. Always thought they would make a great atv box, was going to buy one but just don't need it for how I use my atv. They seem to be built well and a fraction of the cost of "name brand" box's.

The boxes at Walmart are made by Contico - they can be found in the automotive section. Here is a link:
