This was my project for Saturday. Got the box from Harbor Freight for Father's day. It's made for their little ute trailers, so modifications were needed. First, I needed new u-bolts. They were only 4" long. Tractor Supply has 2 x 5s. I also needed a new lock mechanism. The original is blocked by the propane tank. Got the hasp at a local hardware store, and the cool lock that doesn't bounce from Harbor Freight. And, I got some large self-tapping screws and fender washers. Drilled new holes for the u-bolts, and two large 5/8 holes for the battery wires. Yes, they have grommets in them. For good measure, I put the screws and washers to anchor the back of the box to the a-frame. I used some strap brackets, again from Tractor Supply, to hold the battery box in place. It locks up the battery, and has room for all of my set-up and emergency gear. Note: the two goopy screws are where the propane regulator was mounted. Haven't figured what to do with them yet.
