Just wondering if anyone uses this for rod storage in their Otter? I just got a Cabin and am looking for something for rod storage. How strong is the lip of the box? Will it break if I hit it when I'm loading my auger up? Thanks

I have one and it is so handy but I don't use if for rod storage. I alway have my big dipper and measuring board in it along with pliars and other misc. tools. When I am fishing I alway has my tackle trays that I lay in there. I would work for rod storage though plenty big enough. The problem for me would be the lack of protection they would be able to provide. With my rods that I own that is really important. I would stick with a case like a revolution or some thing like that before using one of these.

I have the Rod/Utility box bolted to the inside of my Otter Den sled. I keep all the rods I need for the trip in the box. I just load up with the rods I want to take on a trip and stick the sled in the truck. The box keeps them in good shape. I have it bolted to the back of the sled so that the tent material protects the top of the box during transport.

I've had 2 utility boxes in 2 Otters I've owned. No problems whatsoever. It will hold rods just fine and misc gear. I've stored a lot of stuff inside the box and it's been banged around quite a bit. I bolted the box on the back side of the sled (behind the bench seat) and placed it to help snug the 20lb propane tank in a back corner of the sled. You will not be disappointed in the utility box.

      Problems with Yetti

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
