LOL I literally just made a video. Search thread “what’s in your toolbox?” I learned about how to do it from the link below but I don’t think he shows it installed.For the folks that have the Tractor Supply box mounted in the rear bed, how did you secure it down?
I’m leaning more and more towards picking one up with the Tusk bed extender to replace my Kawi trunk.

I don't do any crazy riding (meaning no jumps). I have a Kawasaki tailgate storage box, and the Tractor Supply box fits perfectly behind it. I also have the Kawasaki spare tire rack. I didn't need to do anything but put the box in place since the walls of the bed, the tailgate box, and the spare tire rack surround it and keep it from moving. I have been riding with it for about 400 miles with no issues.For the folks that have the Tractor Supply box mounted in the rear bed, how did you secure it down?

You mean not bolted down at all? That’s for sure some smooth riding.I don't do any crazy riding (meaning no jumps).

Put my tusk gate on today as well...go figure it arrive jacked up like ever other accessory I have bought for this machine plus it was missing hardware. I'm having zero luck with accessories.. hopefully this isn't a sign of the machine being total crapFinally got around to installing the TS box and Tusk cargo barrier, not a bad setup. I did mine so it can be removed easily (the box) using twist knobs and rivnuts in the frame.

Going to list up the Kawi trunk at some point, as I don’t need it anymore.

As you can see mine were bent so bad it flaked the paint! I was worried that i was going to break it bending them back...then no hardware! SMFHMy end attachment brackets were bent to $hit also. To the point I thought I had the wrong tailgate.
That sucks......if it's any consolation, it bolts up rock solid once you get the hardware. I'm pretty happy with mine. The attachment brackets are some stupid soft metal tho. The paint would warrant a return.......well, I'd probably do something stupid like media blast it and paint the whole assembly a custom color....you know turn a 20 minute install into a huge project. Than tell everyone I planned it that way.As you can see mine were bent so bad it flaked the paint!
LMFAO... Sounds like my buddy. I got it all bolted up with my own hardware an yeah it's super solid. I just got it with some touch up and called it good.you know turn a 20 minute install into a huge project. Than tell everyone I planned it that way.![]()
I got lucky with mine, nothing was bent. I can totally see how that would happen during shipping, they drop the box on its end, and bamo, bent ends. They should packs the ends in styrofoam.Put my tusk gate on today as well...go figure it arrive jacked up like ever other accessory I have bought for this machine plus it was missing hardware.

Can you post a measurement of the space between the Tractor supply box and the Tusk gate?Finally got around to installing the TS box and Tusk cargo barrier, not a bad setup. I did mine so it can be removed easily (the box) using twist knobs and rivnuts in the frame.

Agree...I guess it's the new norm for me to get mangled non fitting parts 🤣I got lucky with mine, nothing was bent. I can totally see how that would happen during shipping, they drop the box on its end, and bamo, bent ends. They should packs the ends in styrofoam.
