I saw this posting a few nights ago... although it does look pretty and may seem solid and "safe" to you, it did get me wondering that perhaps you might have a mechanical engineer take a peak at this. Maybe you know a relative that’s a mechanical engineer, maybe someone in the neighborhood, or someone at work? Show the engineer each of your pictures of this box and spare tire carrier, explain that you’ll be throwing some stuff inside that box that’ll make it some bit heavier than it is now and that it’s gonna have hit an occasional bump or pothole while traveling down the road. Give a listen and some consideration as to what he/she has to say.
