I love this turnbuckle idea!
To answer pianotuna's question, I have it on a front hitch from etrailer, single receiver.

Several of us carry gear safely in racks, toolboxes, trays, etc hanging on a front hitch. I carry this box on the front of my truck on a carrier that I fabricated.
I don’t particularly like the concept of only using the hitch for support and stability because the box did wobble a bit.
Instead of trying to scare you with tales of how your front carrier is going to kill you, maybe your engineer friend could help you fabricate some stabilizers like these. They run between the rear corners of the box and the tow hooks on the front of the truck.
Once the turnbuckles are tightened up, the box is rock solid.
