Will this storage box fit my 1990 Westfalia Vanagon with a 4WD setup?

Yes, the storage box is specifically designed to fit Vanagon models from 1980 to 1991, including both 2WD and 4WD versions like your 1990 Westfalia. It uses the original front spare tire mounting points for a secure fit.

How difficult is the installation, and what tools do I need?

Installation is straightforward and requires only minor assembly. The box comes with a complete hardware kit and clear instructions. Basic hand tools like a wrench and screwdriver are all you need to get it mounted using your Vanagon's original spare tire mounting points.

My Vanagon's spare tire hook catch is plastic and looks old. Can I still use this box?

For best results, this storage box is designed to be used with a metal spare tire hook catch. If yours is plastic or worn, we recommend purchasing a new metal catch to ensure a secure and reliable installation.

Will this box protect my spare tire from off-road damage?

This box is not designed as a skid plate nor meant for off-road protection. It’s intended to provide additional storage space in the front spare tire location while securing your tire and belongings but isn't ruggedized for off-road impact.

Can I reduce noise or rattling when driving using this storage box?

Absolutely. Many customers suggest adding sound dampening materials or lining the interior with neoprene or foam to help minimize noise and vibrations. This is a simple upgrade that can enhance your ride comfort.

Si vous n’utilisez plus votre coque avant pour abriter votre roue de secours, vous avez peut-être remarqué que cet espace offre un grand potentiel de rangement. Nous avons décidé de concrétiser ce concept et sommes heureux de vous présenter notre boîte de rangement en acier thermolaqué ! Elle utilise astucieusement tous les points de fixation d’origine (ainsi que certains éléments de fixation) pour une installation ultra-simple. Sa conception en colis plat permet d’obtenir le coût d’expédition le plus bas que nous ayons pu obtenir, mais nécessite un petit peu d’assemblage. Le kit complet de fixation et les instructions d’installation sont inclus.

Nous recommandons d’utiliser cette boîte de rangement uniquement avec un crochet de fixation métallique pour roue de secours. Si votre crochet est en plastique ou en métal usé, ajoutez un tout nouveau crochet de fixation pour roue de secours à votre commande !

Remarque importante : Ce produit ne fait pas également office de plaque de protection. Bien qu’il soit assez robuste, il n’est pas conçu pour résister aux contraintes de la conduite tout-terrain. Si vous recherchez une plaque de protection pour le tout-terrain et autres activités similaires, découvrez notre plaque de protection GoWesty.

Remarque esthétique : Ces panneaux sont revêtus d’une peinture thermolaquée noire et arrivent souvent de la part de notre fournisseur avec de légères éraflures et imperfections de surface. Maintenant, vous êtes au courant !

More Room Than You Think

Installed the Go Westy spare tire storage container this weekend and I’m impressed by it. It provides way more storage than you think (there’s a few more inches under the floor boards). I’m mainly storing my tools and spare parts for long trips. Freed up a ton of room on the inside. Well worth the price.

I highly recommend sound dampening the container and adding some neoprene on top of it. Makes a huge difference.

I have a spare tire on the swing away and I’m handy with a tire patch kit. No regrets.

Awesome design fits perfect and holds a lot

After having to move my new larger spare tire to the rear carrier, I needed something to protect the area where the tire used to be. This storage box is well constructed, easy to assemble and has lots of room. After assembly, I sprayed the exterior with undercoating spray for extra protection. Had to figget with the bolt brackets to get them to slide over the bolt slots, but once installed, looks good. With the box dropped down, the interior is pretty easy to access. Could probably use a couple little rubber bumpers to protect it from scraping on the ground when lowered. Now what to put in there.

Nice product that provides a lot of storage. However, the powder coating is flaking off and it’s starting to rust in spots pretty bad. Only had it for less than two years.
