• CONSTRUCTION: The Aluminum Split Door Storage Box is crafted from high grade 3mm aluminum to deliver robust storage capacity with a clean, professional aesthetic. Unlike standard welded boxes, this unit is constructed with no visible welding points, providing a seamless finish that matches the premium look of modern van builds.

• INSTALLATION: Designed for versatility, this box features a unique split door system. The top door is supported by dual gas struts for smooth operation, allowing quick access to essentials without exposing the entire contents of the box. The exterior is upgraded with integrated L-Tracks, providing a dedicated mounting interface for recovery boards, tools, or additional accessories.

• THE INTERIOR IS TAILORED TO THE BOX SIZE: the Large model includes a removable shelf for organized storage, while the Regular model offers a spacious open cavity for bulkier items. To protect your gear, the doors are lined with premium rubber seals to guard against the elements, and the unit is finished with a dual locking system to ensure security on the road.

• INSTALLATION: 1. Will mounting a box this size damage my rear door hinges or cause the door to sag over time?

• CONFIGURATION NOTE: No, these boxes are relatively lightweight for their volume (48.5 lbs or 64.7 lbs), so they will not damage your hinges. However, please make sure the total weight does not exceed your rack's limit. If you are using our gear rack, the limit is 180 lbs. If you use another brand, please check their specific rating.

• DOES THE BOX OBSTRUCT THE REAR: 2. Does the box obstruct the rear parking sensors or cause the blind spot monitoring system to beep constantly in reverse?

• INSTALLATION: This depends on how high you mount it. If it is mounted too low, it might trigger the sensors. You can fix this by mounting the box higher up or adjusting the angle of your sensors.

• FITMENT: 3. Is this box compatible with existing Sprinter carrier plates from brands like Owl Vans, Aluminess, or other standard panels?

• FITMENT: This depends on the gear rack. Please check the measurements or contact us before purchasing to ensure it fits your setup.

• ROOF SYSTEM: 4. Is the weatherproof seal capable of withstanding high pressure car washes and driving rain at highway speeds?

• CONFIGURATION NOTE: The box is highly weather resistant. It utilizes premium rubber seals to protect against rain and road spray. However, due to the split door design, it does not feature a continuous single piece seal like our regular models. We recommend avoiding direct high pressure water spray at the door seam.

• CONFIGURATION NOTE: 5. Does the box interfere with the rear door opening fully (180 vs 270 hinges) or hitting the side of the van?

• INSTALLATION: This depends on your gear rack settings. After installing, check the door opening angle carefully to make sure the box doesn't hit the side of the van. You may need to install a limit stop on your door hinge or use a check strap to stop the door earlier.

• HOW SECURE IS THE LOCKING MECHANISM: 6.How secure is the locking mechanism against theft for high value items?

• CONSTRUCTION: The box features a dual point locking system to resist prying, with the option to add secondary padlocks for double security. The aluminum construction further reinforces the unit against forced entry.
