ALB Explorer Box 185 Van Rear Door Storage Box Bundle – Aluminess

Aluminess ALB Explorer Box 185: Van Rear Door Storage Box Bundle

If you want your bulky gear out of the cabin but still organized, the ALB Explorer Box 185 (previously sold as the Deluxe Box Explorer Edition) is the most complete version of Aluminess's 185 box. You get the lockable aluminum box, an adjustable shelf that comes already installed, and the Aluminess Front Loader, a bolt-on outer plate that turns the face of the box into a 19.75" x 10.25" mounting surface for RotoPax containers, the Expo Pro Kit and similar accessories. The plate uses holes already in the box, so there's no drilling. Mounted on an Aluminess rear door rack, it's a natural fit for the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster, and it rides just as well on an Aluminess swing-arm rear bumper on a Ford Econoline or Chevy Express/GMC Savana.

What's Included

• ALB Explorer Box 185
• Front Loader bolt-on plate (19.75" x 10.25" mounting surface)
• One adjustable shelf, pre-installed

Rack or bumper not included.

Key Features

• Fits driver- or passenger-side rear door racks, or works as a swing arm bumper storage box
• Mount it either way round so the door opens on the side you prefer
• Locks with a built-in lock, and there's room for a padlock if you want a second layer of security
• Compression latch turns to any angle, so gear shifting inside can't jam it
• Friction hinges keep the door where you leave it, even on a slope or in a crosswind, and their tension is adjustable
• Aluminum construction that stands up to road travel and everyday use
• Stays watertight once it's properly mounted
• Works as a generator box: Aluminess lists the Honda EU2200, Yamaha EF2200, Predator 2000, Firman 2100 and many other 2,000-watt generators as a fit
• Takes a 20 lb propane tank (vent the box if you carry propane)
• Great for firewood, surf and camp gear, tools, or anything you'd rather not ride inside the van
• Front Loader adds an exterior mounting surface without giving up any space inside the box
• Free shipping

Fitment & Mounting

The ALB Explorer Box 185 bundle is universal and can be mounted on any bumper or rear door rack, including Aluminess rear door racks for the Mercedes Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster and Aluminess swing-arm rear bumpers for the Ford Econoline and Chevy Express/GMC Savana. Support the box from both the back and the bottom when you install it; bolting it on through the back wall alone can damage the box.

Compatible mounts we carry: the Ford Transit driver-side rear door box and tire rack and Ford Transit rear door rack base unit; the Ram ProMaster rear door tire and box rack; and swing-arm rear bumpers for the Chevy Express / GMC Savana, Ford Econoline and 2019–2024 Mercedes Sprinter (Slimline).

Aluminess designs its products for factory-built vehicles, and some aftermarket conversions are not compatible. If your van has been modified, check fitment with High Top Vans before you order.

Which Aluminess box is right for you?

Mounting racks and bumpers are sold separately for every box.

FAQ

Q: Will my generator fit?
A: Most 2,000-watt generators fit. If you're unsure about a particular model, ask High Top Vans and we'll help you confirm.

Q: Can the door open from the left or the right?
A: Either. It ships set to open from the left; to switch to the right, mount it the other way and flip the Aluminess logo and the adjustable shelf, both quick changes.
