    Howdy! Since you have a disco, how do these fit in the rear load space? How straight (vertically) are the inside walls?

    I currently use "contico" boxes that Costco sells (they have two hinged lids the interlock when closed; lots of places sell them) and four of them fit near perfectly. The second layer is a little tight but still fits (I have three kids so I need a lot of storage.) What I don't like about the conticos is that the sides are sloped -- the bottom is smaller than the top. This allows them to stack, but it's annoying.

    Thanks!

    They are somewhat smaller than the contico boxes you are probable using.

    hey Uncle Roger
    The boxes are smaller than the contico's you're using. Personally I find the smaller size a plus, since, if you've ever tried lifting a full Rubbermaid The ammo boxes are perfectly straight sided on all 4 sides. Dimensions are on our website at www.bundugear.com. The smaller boxes are definitely also better for the narrow storage in a Disco, but with the higher roof and the the boxes' stackability, you definitely see the advantages. And with the straight sides you can stack them and ratchet them down!

    sort of...It is still a little unclear.... or at least what I am trying to figure out.... but then again I am not always the sharpest knife in the drawer...

    According to this picture on your site, the Bunu Box "Lo lid" is 400x500x230mm.... or approximately 15.75x19.69x9.1 inches for us not so smart Americans that can't use the metric system (me being one of them).

    http://www.bundugear.com/images/100_AmmoBoxLoLid.jpg

    So the bags with boxes would measure:

    Box Cover "2-Up" (Fits 2 Lo Lid Boxes): 800x500x230mm or 31.5x19.69x9.1 inches

    Box Cover "3-Up" (Fits 3 Lo Lid Boxes): 1200x500x230mm or 47.25x19.69x9.1 inches

    Is my math adding up right? I am trying to see how these would fit between the side rails of my factory roof rack.

    Thanks!

    Buduguy,
    On your foam inserts, what size dishes does it accomodate? Can you provide pics of wolf boxes with the inserts in place and loaded?

    Wouldn't it all just be better if we converted to metric!
    Yes, according to my conversions, you're pretty spot on. As far as the bag size goes, it's a very snug fit on the boxes, so you can just use the same dimensions for the bag.

    Hi,

    Been reading on a SA forum that you can get metal clips for the ammo boxes.... to replace the plastic ones.

    Any chance of getting some of those in ?

    Cheers,

    BunduGuy-

    Do these boxes carry any sort of warranty?
