Boss Strongbox 4runner system

first post...finally something to add.

I bought one back in October. It has been great.

I have taken it off road. With a lot of vibration and bumps, the turnbuckles they provided would loosen up slightly and I got some squeeking after a few hours. I bought a set with locking nuts from E-Rigging.com and problem solved. Never loosened up again. No more squeeking.

I just bought, it looks good. I need something with a lock for all my camera gear anyways. Which type and size turnbuckles did you buy off e-rigging.

Squeaking Turnbuckles are driving me nuts with my Smittybuilt Vault. I have re-tighten them every couple days or they drive me insane.

Yesterday, tightened them by hand and then had to slam on the brakes - they started squeaking again!!!

I'll have to try some of those ones mentioned by SpaceBanana.

Welcome to E-Rigging.com - Your Online Source for Rope, Cable and Hardware

Looking at those, I wonder if adding 2 nuts to my hardware store turnbuckles would help stop the squeak? Going to try that 1st.

Nice!! Can u still recline the rear seats? Is the divider movable or removable?

Great info on the turnbuckles [MENTION=430770]C3XOG[/MENTION]
Please let us know the part number used. Did you just tighten them down until snug or put quite a bit of torque in them to finally stop the squeeking?

For those interested, remember to use code "Fieldcraft" for 25% off the box. I have no association with fieldcraft survival but heard it in their podcast and wanted to pass the savings along. Looks like a great storage box for the price especially with the discount. I would consider it but it's a bit too tall for my preference.

Thanks for the coupon! This was the only reason why i bought it. It covered the shipping and tax for me.

Or you could just make your own box for less than $100.

Ignorant comment. Not everyone has the necessary tools, knowledge, skill, and let alone time to make something close to a finished product like this.

Can anyone (who purchased and has installed) take a picture of the front of the box? (directly behind the rear seats) would like to see how I would build\attach a sleeping platform onto this box so I can easily remove when not in use. I'm planning on removing both rear seats and build a sleeping platform that could utilize this box. Hope that makes sense.

Does this help? Quick cellphone pics.

I am *almost* certain it was this one:

5/16" x 4-5/8" Stainless Steel Jaw x Jaw Turnbuckle
Part No.: 51608615

5/16" x 4-5/8" Stainless Steel Jaw x Jaw Turnbuckle

I can't find the receipt in my email. Here's a pic if that helps:

I just tightened them all the way. Didn't put any real torque on them, but they are tight. Haven't touched them since.

Ordered!

Been looking for JUST this sort of thing. Ordered one and the 25% is just gravy.
Just couldn't bring myself to pull the trigger on the big name stuff (Goose, ARB, Dobbinsons etc.) That said, I do plan to install this box on a Goose Gear Plate...
Their price for the drawer sets VS what it seems I was getting...this is a win for me for sure!

Thanks for the heads up!!

Sorry to ask again but can u still recline the rear seats? Is the divider in the drawer movable or removable? Is the drawer big enough for a rifle or shotguns?

If you look at the one picture from the side, you can see the guide for the seat recline. It looks as though it reclines about 80%. I never sat in the back, so I really don't know how much further it will recline. With the box in, there is no way for me to know.

The divider doesn't look to be removable.

Depending on the shotgun, yes. I have a few short barrel police model shotguns that fit lengthwise. None of my bird guns. None of my deer rifles. All of my ARs with 16" barrels and collapsable stocks fit easily. My Ruger Precision fits if I collapse the stock. All out of the cases, of course. My AR with a 26" barrel and Magpul fixed stock does not. Never tried to fit my bow.

Btw, I only got one key. It was easy enough to get copies at my local locksmith.

The box they are shipping for the 4runner now has a removable divider and comes with 2 keys.
