Has anyone come across LOW PROFILE (<10 in tall) 11-12gal storage bins with anchor points? Want to use two of them, one to store a bit of camping gear and one all my freeze-dried food supplies in my BD. The requirements are fairly specific for a reason:
What I have found so far
Edit: just realized how bone headed I am. I can add D-rings to all of the above with some backing plates on the inside.
- I want to stack two of them on top of one another behind the driver seat (with the passenger seatbacks down) - hence the limitation that each of them be under 10 inches tall
- I would like to store 21 inch wide Z-lite style sleeping pad - hence the need for >22 inches width
- Need anchor point(s) on the short side to tie them down to the BD seat molle grille
- Ideally also anchor points on the long side, though that is optional since I installed these on my seatbacks and they provide (minimal) anchoring
What I have found so far
- IRIS totes at Amazon and Wallmart The Wallmart ones a much better price. Pros - perfect dimensions. Cons - no acnchor points. These seem to be soft plastic so I can drill/dremmel some slots as needed and smooth them out with a hot piece of metal
- Hefty tote at Target. Pros - pefect dimensions, anchor points on the long side. Cons - no anchor points on the short side
- Husky totes at Home Depot. Pros - built like a tank, single side anchor point (but not large enough for a strap). Cons - hard lid (which make it more difficult to mod without leaving stress points that can crack the lid
- Rubbermaid Brute tote at Amazon Pros: handle on the long side which can be used to strap to the seatback Molle. Cons - 14Gal which makes it marginally too tall. I think that some of the extra height is from a fairly deep lid on top, so two stacked will likely be closer to the 20 inches I am shooting for.
