Well, we decided a 19,000 pound vehicle pulling a sailboat wasn't going to be doing a lot of jeep road rock climbing.
The ground clearance isn't as bad as it looks in the photo. The boxes are 2 inches higher than the muffler and at least 4 inches higher than the rear diff. The exit angle wasn't affected much either by the rear boxes since we have that safety bar (plus plan to add a trailer hitch back there).
As always, never enough pictures on your project. Enjoy the progress.
I agree with the possibility of off-roading. But I would take note the bend in the right end of your safety bar. Those don’t bend like that with just a onetime occurrence. Obviously there is some contact and most likely exiting out of drives, such as fueling stations. We use to put skid bars/wheels on the outside corner of our race trailers, due to the long extension behind the rear axle. I suspect a well-placed skid bar, or wheel, placed next to the back corner of the cabinet will save them from damage. (Like a picture frame around the opening of the cabinet).
From the photo, it appears you only put photos on the one side. Are you planning on putting a matching set on the opposite side?
Thanks.
