    wood chip boxes to aluminum or steal.

    do you feel that your box can't hold alot of chips due to all those tool boxes that you built inside. or do you chip more into the bush then in the box? and with such a small box why didn't you just spend the money to build a aluminum box and put your tools in the cab?
