Need help finding a thread about battery box

New to this club but find it very helpful.
Looking thru the forums for a tongue mounted battery box a couple weeks ago, I found an article about a 28" Stanley Fat Max tool box that was converted to the battery box with detailed instructions on the alterations needed, that fit my dimensions exactly.
Made a note of the info I needed to find it again and ordered the box from Home Depot. Box arrived yesterday.
In the meantime, my industrious wife cleaned up my office and "poof" the info disappeared. Now I need help finding it.
Can anyone help?? All my efforts so far have failed.
Help Help !!

  • Thieves are going to go after things that are much easier to transport, or much more valuable, than a lead-acid battery. You're not exactly going to be making a quick getaway lugging a 70lb RV battery, and they are only worth about $15 each at the scrapyard.

    I like the fatmax idea because there's nothing for the battery to short out against, and it won't corrode from the hydrogen gases.

    FATMAX BATTERY BOX


    I don't think this would be a very safe and secure box to use thief wise...

    I like the this idea better but of course cost more...




    TORKLIFT sells this metal box very reasonable as well...
