Front Runner Wolf Pack Pro storage cases tested

A few years ago I was travelling with someone who had a stack of Front Runner Wolf Pack storage boxes in their 4x4 vehicle and I was impressed with their sturdy and solid construction.

Unlike the cheap plastic boxes you buy from hardware megastores, these South African brand boxes are built for travel and unlikely to crack or break when they cop a beating over rough terrain.

When I saw that Front Runner had released an evolution of the Wolf Pack, I thought it was time for a closer look. The Wolf Pack Pro builds on the original’s solid construction and rugged design but improves on it with a secure latch-down lid to make it waterproof and dustproof.

Made from a thick polypropylene plastic, the boxes are built to last, whether used for storing things in them at home or in the shed, or transporting them in or on the roof rack of your 4x4. With the latches securing the lid on these, you needn’t worry about them being out in the elements up on your roof rack or in the tray of your ute.

You can carry anything in the Wolf Rack Pro be it 4x4 recovery gear, clothing, food, camera kit, a drone, or camping accessories… and rest assured it will be secure and protected. The boxes are just the right size to carry a basic 4x4 recovery kit while keeping the contents protected and easy to access when needed.

The boxes are also designed to be stackable, with the lids mating to the base in a Lego-like fashion. They also have indents moulded into them to accommodate tie-down straps so they can be secured either in or on top of your vehicle.

Front Runner also has a range of internal dividers and storage bags to further compartmentalise the contents of the boxes. There’s also a higher lid available to increase the capacity of the Wolf Pack Pro.

With external dimensions measuring 510mm (L) x 400mm (W) x 230mm (H), the Pro packs will fit in many storage-drawer systems to better secure and compartmentalise your gear and supplies.

The design and construction of the Wolf Pack Pro shows that this is a product designed by people who use them, and know what’s needed to create a lasting product.

South Africans travel the bush in much the same way as Australians do, and we use our vehicles and gear in a similar way. For that reason, we both value quality products, and this shines through with Front Runner gear.
