Just tied straps around the back of the box, to the side seat clips (strong points)
to keep it from slipping out on steep hills.
And clipped a steel ring into the hatch lock.. Used the ring to tie down the hatch.

If I have to move firewood or other heavy dirty stuff.. I also have the little cargo deck.. Like Mifunego's..
No lights, taxes, registration or other BS needed..
I made one of those too.
I can put it on the back of a hitch or the back of a trailer.
