After 23 years in the Arizona desert, the wife and I moved to the Pacific Northwest. We can now take the hard top off of our 82 CJ for the summer months.
Would someone please give a recommendation for a storage box? We would like to lock up the winch control, registration/insurance paperwork, and tire changing gear while sporting a bikini top. (We bought a bikini top in 1994 and used it once for 2 weeks in AZ) We are long time Jeep owners, but very new to having the hard top off.
Thanks, Norman
I,ve been pretty happy with the ExtendaTrunk from Quadratec

Look at the various products that Tuffy offers. I have a stereo center console, dual overhead console, and the full length underseat security drawer. The rep. I spoke to mentioned that they will sell you replacement locks so you can have all your storage keyed alike for a very reasonable price of about $5. They have stock glove box inserts as well in order to make your current storage more secure. Many pieces are availiable in colors that match the interior, but I went with the universal matching color of BLACK. :)
The joke is on you folks. Wait until you drive two hundred miles, in a pouring rain, with the Bikini top. The trick is, that no one knows when a PNW summer will end. Then you get nine months of rain. (If you actually moved to Yakima, Wenatchee, or any place east of the Cascades, please disregard this.)

Norman,
You didn't mention what sort of CJ. If it's a Scrambler (CJ8), Home Depot sells a truck toolbox that fits perfectly between the rollbars. You can mount it between the rollbars with exhaust clamps. Just drill a couple of holes on each side of the toolbox.
I think it'll only fit a Scrambler, though, as the back side of other CJs' rollbars aren't mounted to the floor.
------------------------------------------------ Thank you all for the recommendations and links. I'll start shopping on Saturday. Our Jeep is a CJ-7. We moved to Spokane. We are as far east of the Cascades as you can be and still be in Washington. (12 miles from Idaho) We have not seen very much rain. Thanks again to all of you for your suggestions.
Sincerely, Norman
I drive with a Bikini all summer, we just had a month of straight rain. It's not so bad..
hmmm, I guess it was...heheheh
I'm not so sure I want to ever see you in a bikini much less all summer.
