When I'm not trying to work out all of the kinks of what must have been a hasty diesel swap performed right before I bought it, I'm putting together my buy list for expedition gear.
I'm sorely lacking in organized storage and have been looking for a few boxes. The requirements I have are:
1. Water resistant. I doubt I'll spring for anything water proof for the all the extra money it'll cost.
2. Sturdy enough to stand/sit on.
3. Mountable to the front of the roof rack with enough room for a roof top tent mounted to the rear of the rack (ARB full, which I plan to cut the side bars off of in the rear to accomodate the roof rack) and a couple of Jerry cans in between the boxes.
4. Fits well in the back of the Cruiser when I don't want to mount them on the roof rack.
5. As much as I hate to trade with Wal-Mart, I'd prefer to drop a $100 gift card that I have on them so I've been loking at the links below. It's not a hard requirement though.

^^A lot of forum members seem to have complaints about these
At some point I think I want to get a pair of the interior cargo (Jerry Can) holders for the back of the Cruiser, which may free up some space on the top of the Cruiser for larger/more boxes.
Anyone have any comments on any of the above three, or other recommendations?
Thanks in advance.
