I've been looking for a place to store "extra stuff" because I'm starting to accumulate too much stuff under the seat and small tool-bag/emergency repair kit won't fit with everything else.

It looks like there is quite a bit of room behind the front bumper. I'm thinking about fabbing some kind of tool box that will hang over the frame and sit in that area.

Any reason not to (airbag sensors?). The box would be below the height of radiator/AC condenser etc.

 

Not a bad idea, I would like the answer to.

 

I think a front impact would be an issue...

 

AKA, Don't run into anything, Although, Front impact would be an issue without tools there to.

 

I don't see it being a problem, I mean they make a "hidden" winch mount for right there, so what would be the difference if you had a winch or a tool box sitting in that space???

 

yeah i think it's be pretty useful really...hidden and out of the way.....try it and let us know how it goes....might even have to fab somethin up for my truck while i'm thinkin about it

 

that would be a good place make sure you take pics during the fabing would really like to see how it goes.

 

How about just a regular bed tool box? They make the ones that sit down low so they are not really visible from the side. Of course, you lose a little bed space, but if don't use the bed that often, it may not be a big deal.

 

^ +1.

 

I have a topper, and that would also take away from space for the dogs in the back. Plus, I don't have *that* much extra stuff.
