Great job, Jamielmnop, you have done exactly what I was looking into doing to my cart, Add a section to the uprights, cut out the stair glides and add hinged brackets for 2 small cases. How long did it take you, and could you tell me the brand and model hinges you used on the 2 back brackets. My daughter does interior design for builders in phoenix area and I do a lot of install work in model homes, when I bought the tough system and wheeled it in everyone gave me a lot of kidding. But after they realized I had pretty much everything I need right with me no running to the trailer to find stuff (trailer is always trashed so you can't find what your looking for anyway). Now they all come to me to get tools, and fasteners and other things instead of going to the trailer, trouble is I can't' keep the thing stocked with stuff I need now. The tough system is great though, I tried 4 other carts and containers before springing for this and my tools and bins were always falling off the cart or it tipped over or broke. The tough system is quick and easy to load and unload, and sturdy. I wish they would come up with a way the secure the cart and cases in a pickup bed. I thought about putting the cases in the cart and securing the cart with the truck tie downs, but I wouldn't trust the brackets on the cart to hold the cases in an accident. I just had a better idea, buy some square steel tubing and case brackets make a mounting unit along the front of the box or along the sides of the truck, then loop a heavy cable through the rack and over the cases lay the cart sideways in front of the cases loop the cable/cables through it and padlock everything to the tie downs. Lowes has those heavy Schlage cables with the loop on each end in several different lengths. Any body got any ideas or if you made something any pictures.
