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 have hauled a few couches in my Cherokee! Works well, actually. Even going up and down hills. Just don't do it until the cat converter heats up ... pulls in some interesting fumes.
