Tone Style Cargo box.

[JAMAS]

I am going to see about getting a wood working buddy to make me up a Tone style cargo box.

I am thinking 2 boxes that meet in the middle (to form the complete shape of the tone box). there would be a hinge on the top and the boxes would be able to fold on top of each other for leaning a seat back or forward. Perhaps even a latch and handle to latch the 2 boxes together for easy carrying....

So 2 questions.....

1. does anyone have any plans or measurements from the real Tone box?
2. Is anyone else interested in one?

I actually have one cluttering up my garage. But it was customized to into a sub box. Would sell it to ya but that does not seem to be your application for it. County bulk trash pick up tomorrow morning. Guess where it's going.

Ditto...don't toss it. I've been trying to come up with a sub box for behind the rear seat, and wanted it to be similar to Tone's box. If Jamas is a no I might take it depending on shipping.

I bought mine from John Eaton who had customized it for a sub box as well. Didn't impact the ability to use it as a storage box - all he did was cut a hole in the back of the box for the wires to pass through. He may have had some internal mounting brackets to hold the sub, but if he did they were removed when I bought it.

Definitely don't trash it, if nothing else it can be measured for replication.

I sent a PM and an E-mail.

I want it to either use directly, or modify into what I am thinking about

Update:

My project is nearing completion.

Features include:

-Easy access cubby for 2 quarts of oil (this was ingenious, if I do say so myself)

-2 fully enclosed boxes for easy transportation of gear in and out of VX
--Having the 2 boxes was to allow for setting one on top of the other so I can recline a seat if needed (loading a rear facing carseat passenger).
--Also allows for easier loading and unloading of the cargo boxes.

-appearance of the Tone box when both doors are shut.

-strong construction
--Pre-drilled and screwed together.
-- Since I did an easily removable, 2 piece box, there was no reason to leave the left side open for access to the jack.

I am very pleased with the final (well, almost final) results and am going to begin offering them if folks are interested.

I need to do the finishing work and then I will take photos and post a "For Sale" thread about them.

Sounds great, anxiously awaiting pics...

FWIW, if you're at a point where it's easily disassembled, wood glue will add a whole nuther level of strength to the build...
