Should be something in the archives about this but I cannot remember who
posted the idea. A plastic rifle case fits nicely. I used some AL straps which
slip into the groove on one frame rail and are bolted onto the other. Only
problem is you need to crawl under there and unbolt it to get to the stuff. I
carry only emergency supplies, e.g. tools, jumper cables, etc.

The original poster warned about not trying to cross into Canada. They don't
like the idea of carrying guns.

While we're talking storage, I also carry a rifle case in place of the upper
bed as part of a "storage system". The rifle case is on the passenger side and
velcro'd to the top. It's nice for long things like hiking poles and it need
not be removed- just pop the top and open the case. It's long and thin enough
to use most of the space under the top all the way to the back.
