ZBOX lids

[Synister3]

Someone know if there’s a vendor or someone with replacement lids for the ZBOX under hood tool box

No but I will sell a slightly used one with a good lid PM me.

So I have checked, they don’t carry just lids. I asked if they can ask the manufacturer. I was told no, they don’t offer it. That answer surprised me. Now I understand in WH eyes it’s probably better not to offer it that way you buy the whole box not only the lid but why loose a sale or customer over something small. Now I know plenty people have lost broken or simply misplaced their lids so their is a market for it, specially if all they need to do is stamp out extra lids, no developing or new engineering money needed. I was asking in case they were sold under a different vendor for a different vehicle with the same lid, maybe someone is aware it.

Looks like a good 3D printer project/solution.

Not Familiar with a ZBOX.
Are those similar to an ammo can?

It’s a under hood storage. Goes where the driver’s side air vent goes. WH has them listed as Z Box .

Looks like vacuum formed plastic. The form is probably setup to make both parts in a single pull. Makes sense that they don't offer lids alone, you would be asking to make a special run of just half the vacuum form. Vacuum forms don't run that way. They do whole parts only. I spent a little time in a vacuum forming shop many years ago while going to school that had a huge plastics degree option. Even through I didn't take the plastics degree, you still learn stuff just from being around people who are.

They're rotomolded.

That would be even more of them being made as a set.

Looks like it would be pretty simple to fab one out of aluminum or stainless.

 

[Synister3]

That’s been considered as well. I’m looking to see if someone's been through the search already. There might be something already molded that could be the same size needed. I might just pick up another and drive around to see what I can find.

Get the lids for these 1/6 kitchen pans. they come in food grade plastic or stainless steel.
they should work

 

[Synister3]

That’s what I was looking for. I was sure it was made in that size for something else. Hope this helps others as well. Thank you Sir for taking the time to post.

This will work, I was actually going to start looking at Tupperware or other plastic lids of that type. Thanks again
