Total of 500 lbs max.
Asking as I need to add like another whole car of weight on Olds wagon. It is way to light for T or U/sa

No. The 2 allowable weight boxes can not weigh more than 100 lbs. each including the contents and only a max of 100 is considered removable. Yes. Up to a max of 100 can be bolted to the frame and this is " removable ". Yes. A total of 500 lbs. is allowed but the holding hardware needs to have a shot of weld to satisfy the permanent requirement. So if you need, say 460 lbs. , then figure a way to put 400 in as permanent and make a box to handle close to 100 and you're all set.
