There are two rear wrap around quad boxes that I would recommend. They are both well built and will stand up to most any thing you can throw at them. Trust me, we have used and abused them hard.

The Tamarack classic wrap around @ 3.5 cu ft. I have had this box on my last two quads. The volume is just right for my needs.
The Montana Jacks magnum box @ 4.5 cu ft. This is the box used by JMAC. This has a little more volume for those that must carry everything to include the kitchen sink..
They are not cheap, but you will be getting very good performance and quality....DRK

Thanks for posting. Do you have a pic of the inside of them? Are they lined with foam or rubber?

You could think out side the stock box and try something different, like a Raider hard Box from
sportsmansguide(.) com a great box for a great price.

Raider Hard Box (rear/installed)

Nice coffin DD

,
I got 3 different- depend where I go, for how long and how much do I need to pack. You have to fill them up or get foam inserts
KIMPEX 2-up

Dewalt jack-hammer box

or smaller one

You can't beat the Montana Jack cargo box. I rolled my 550 3 times on it and it shows Hardly any damage and protected the quad.

They don't come lined, but buying foam padding can be done at wally world. Here is pics of the new model. Pretty much the same except hinged rear side and better buckle system. Usually sold at Cabelas.

<o:p></o:p>
Thank you for all your comments, after review the several options my choices are the PLANO Rear-Mount Storage Boxes and the TAMARACK Wrap-Around Quad Trunk<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Between these two option which you prefer and which is more recommendable for you<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
Thanks!!<o:p></o:p>

I have the Plano, but that Tamarack is nice, especially if you ever plan on doubling up. I don't know what the price difference is or if the tamarack has storage under the arm area. It is also going to depend on what you want to put in it. The Tamarack doesn't have direct top access to the arm area and it is reduced hieght.

I have also found the MOOSE Rear Cargo Box, this is one of the biggest Rear Cargo Box. Dimensions: 46" x 23" x 12", 4.2 cubic feet capacity.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
You think will be fits and look good on the rear rack of the Grizzly 700 ?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
What is your opinion of this model ?

DRKnight5515 · Quote #14 02-08-2010, 10:19 AM

The Plano box is a lighter weight constructed box. The lid hold downs are rubber and will deteriorate from the UV rays. Also the lid opens to the rear, which is not as easy to access into.

The Tamarack box is of a heavy construction and will not deform and seals out the dust ect. better. I have seen quads do end for end flips and roll ovewrs, with know other damage to the box other than scratches. the lid hold downs are made of metal and will draw the lid down securely, even when over stuffed and seal.
You can also attach after market fuel cans to the Tamarack box. If you try that with the Plano it will not hold up. The lid also opens from the rear, making access to the inside easier.... Hope this helps...DRK

I have the tamarack wrap around box and it is pretty much indestructible. i have rolled my quad 3 times and its hardley scratched from them. i carry 2- 5 liter kolpins on the sides and a 15liter on the back , and have been for over 4000 km's. It is built to last.

As far as capacity. if you cant fit what you need it it, you dont need it. In mine i always have 3 liters of motor oil. 1 liter diff fluid. oil filter. set of tools to disasseble my quad, my extra set of raingear, set of extra clothes. extra gloves, tire repair kit. 12x14 tarp, 100' 3/16 winch cable, 20' tow strap, 3 shackles, 4 bottles of water, lunch. 2 stainless steel water bottles,75' 3/8 climbing rope.

I am getting ready to buy two of the Tamarack wrap arounds I think. Need them for Moab and for the ability to attach fuel packs.

Did you have to made a modification of your rear rack ?<o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>
I have the perception that this box is too big. I would like to hear your comments<o:p></o:p>
