This Labor day weekend we labored. The goal was to install the 24" deep, 18" high, 48" long aluminum truck boxes purchased from Protech and we got er done. I have determined that crawling under trucks and drilling up through steel cross members while having hot chips fall all over you is not one of the odd jobs I want to do while driving around the country.
These boxes have added a vast amount of storage with a very low CoG. We made some prototype plywood holders for the four camper jacks to allow them to stow in one of the boxes without getting banged up. I will remake them on my cnc mill out of 3/4" UHMW plastic at some near future date. Still quite a bit of room above the jackstands in that box for other gear (they take up about 6 inches of the 18 inch height.
