That is actually much more weight than I thought. Nice.

Default Doubt this will work for you but

I use a 4' aluminum toolbox that I bought off CL for $75. I sit it in the back behind the wheel wells and anchor it to the tie downs with a couple of plastic coated steel cables and padlocks, one on each end of the box. When I need extra bed space (firewood in my case), I open the tailgate and slide the box out onto it, still anchored.

If you're not carrying a lot of weight, you can always get a buddy to help you set the box on the ground so you can load your ATV into the bed, then put the box on the tailgate and anchor it as I described. It works well for me.
