A buddy and me made this tackle box out of mostly scrap lexan. I only had to buy the thinner gauge for the short dividers. We got the hinge and latches from a scrap yard. It is adjustable from 2 large compartments to 48 4"X4" compartments. It was a lot of work, but was fun and came out pretty good. The only thing left is to decide what I want to do to hold the lid in the open position, and fill it up!

We took our time planning and making it. My buddy Ryan helps me with the patience to do just that.

Vault was the only possible name, due to the shape and weight, all together it weighs 125# empty. We made it so the the lid assembly can be taken off with four large screws so that it is more manageable to take in and out. This thing is way overbuilt!

Get in touch with Just en case. Bob Schmidt will sell you the brackets with springs and the rivets to hold it open .
I added these to my older just en case box and they work great.
