I would bolt it down personally. Either through the bottom of the box now while its easily accessible or once it has a back to it, put a L tab on the back at the bottom secured to the box and the floor that way. I secured the top with a brace tied to the box at the rear corner of it to the roof mounted seat belt tabs that hang down near the side window glass.

We bolted ours down.

Dont need a jack, just lie underneath, pick a likely place, dot punch from the bottom and drill from top, or drill from bottom if the drill fits.

We also welded angle at the base of the back of the box, to both stop it sliding backwards and the use as another fixing point.

I wish I could slide under but the van is a low rider, almost 4" off the deck. and me being in the "big boyz" range, I'd be lucky 1 arm under it if lucky! [Frown]

I got a finally found someone near me with a astro jack.(strong enough to lift both tires off the ground) My regular jack is a 2t and the van is 2t plus so to make a long story short. I finally got under her and made a few marks where I can drill. Now, I'm working on moving the gas line. I hope I don't have to drop the whole tank, but it looks that way so far.. but what do I know? maybe there's a work around. like shallow screws and more L brackets.
