I installed a storage box on the rear bumper to hold all my BBQ items. Since I have a portable platform that holds my Weber Q on the rear bumper, this should make things handy. I had to fabricate two aluminum "U" brackets to hold the box and mount it to the bumper. I wanted to fasten thru the bottom of the bumper and not make any holes on the top in case I ever take the box off.

The box normally is made with a top handle to carry it as a tote box.I special ordered the box not to have any top handle since I wanted to use it as a table while cooking and not have a handle in my way. The box is 24" long, 9 1/2" high, and 10" deep. I had to wait 4 weeks to get it.

The brackets had to be hand formed to wrap around the rear bumper

The brackets were first bolted to the bottom of the box

Then the box and brackets were slipped over the bumper and bolted up thru the bottom. The box only sticks out past the edge of the bumper about 2 1/2".
