The Expedition134 is a new, Aussie-made 4WDing and camping storage box 100-percent designed and developed for the rugged Australian adventurer by Open Sky Touring (OST).
This Cairns-based 4WDing and camping company is headed by Ben Kincade and Nic McKenzie, two 4WDing enthusiasts who became tired of buying and flimsy storage boxes. The Expedition134’s innovative design Is based on their years of camping and boating experience, combining all features that were missing from other storage boxes.
The tough-as-nails 55-litre box has been injection moulded, enhancing its overall strength and durability without the added weight. The box weighs just 3.95kg, but the lid is rated to handle up to 120-kilogram loads, so it can be used for sitting or standing without a hitch.
The Expedition134 storage box also comes with reinforced external tie-down points on the corners, so you can open the lid without having to undo and redo ratchet straps if it is stored on your roof rack. It can also be tied down and secured using their ratchet straps, ropes or the custom Expedition134 Quick Release (QR) straps that are also available on the OST website.
The box’s flat Internal floor makes it ideal for packing and it’s very easy to clean after a trip thanks to the absence of an inside lip where dirt and crud typically becomes trapped. The boxes have also been designed to be stacked on top of each other, with the base of one box locking into place with the lid of another.
Boaties will also love the Expedition134 boxes, as they have no metal parts to rust from the saltwater. The customised seal and dedicated ridge design also create a weatherproof seal to keep your gear dry and free from the elements.
The Expedition134 boxes comes in four different colours and you can mix and match the colour of the box and lid to create a two-tone colour scheme that makes it easy to identify each box’s contents at a glance. Retailing at $159.00, the Expedition134 offers excellent value for the money for those seeking a tough, durable and well-design storage box to make life a little bit easier.

OPEN SKY TOURING REVIEWS
from 97 reviewsOrdered this box after seeing so many positive reviews of the Expedition 134 box. And it doesn't disappoint! What an outstanding, Australian made product. Not only is it tough and durable it looks the bomb as well. Will be getting another one for sure! Can't recommend enough.
Recently bought a pink storage box after buying 3 last year. It’s just as tough and perfect as my previous ones. I’ll continue buying these awesome boxes to go into my new trailer project.
Great product! Love using them and would highly recommend to anyone
Easy to use, and great value
Great product and well made
Does just what it says on the box! (bad dad joke there...) Great to now have 3 of these in my collection.
Survival Snake Bite Kit™
Purchased the Expedition 134 to use for the wife's scent hound business. The dogs are used to find truffles, so not only does the box store all the harnesses and other dog gear, any booty located also goes into the box, safe and secure. Great product indeed..
Great kit. Saw on Pat Calligan’s show and immediately bought. This will definitely save a life from snake bite. The pressure bandage has markers to show how tight to wrap. So clever.
One of the best products I have used in my forty plus years of camping very well made and waterproof. It’s a pleasure to do business with a great Aussie company.
Survival Snake Bite Kit™
Very happy with the boxes. Def can hold adult standing on lid and solid latches. Easy to hose out and dust and water proof for 4WD trips!
I am impressed with the rigidity and quality of the box. it's worth every cent!
These boxes are exactly what I wanted! Delivered on time, great quality and great price! Thanks Open Sky team!
This is my 5th box and they’re fantastic. Will be the replacement for my drawer system in my Landcruiser to keep weight down. They are the ideal combination of size and manageable to handle when full.
