Gough plastics might be the place you are thinking of fat, but I think they only make the boxes similar to the ARB Trimcast spacecases, and also undertray boxes (the ones that go in front/behind of the wheel arches).
Built, not bought.

The boxes made by Gough Plastics are well made and very good quality. I have been fitting these to mine vehicles for a few years now and they also make all of our bonnet's, door skins and mudguards for our vehicles. They have also done a bit of plastic fabrication work for us in the past but that type of work is expensive (time consuming). I reccommend their products. Ask for Ian or Simon.

Yeah I want to use one of those 'tuff boxes' and mount it in the back of my tray on the chassis so the lid is the same level as the floor and the weight is kept a little lower. The only thing that sux is that the locking strap things are on the side not the top. Makes it hard to have everything tucked in nice and tight. I like the look of the diamond t products also but these would obviously be heavier than the plastic ones.
I might even try and incorporate a plastic water tank somewhere evetually cause it is always good to have a bit of water on tap.
wonder if they could handle me old mate Jim B.... :D
