It's dark sorry. It's not done I still need a flat surface this is all I got done before the clean up (up to 5am that sat)
It's 1.75 tubing, two bends at each corner (to eliminate corners <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0"> ) A side mounting tool box from Home Depot. And the 60 someodd " hi-lift is mounted with seatbelt harness eye bolts with a nut welded to the tubing and a tab next to it for a lock.

I like the look of that small box, but I have to carry everything with me <IMG SRC="smilies/rolleyes.gif" border="0"> so I'm using a fullsize box <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> spare 3rd, spare axle, shafts,starter, ect, I hate to be broke down! Hell I'll even have spare toyota parts I don't run so I have spares for any who need them on the trail! I'll help just about anyone out,......almost <IMG SRC="smilies/wink.gif" border="0">he he, now get us some lighted pics man.!
I'll work on the pics. Actully this box wasn't supppost to be for this truck (it's for my other project) but since I had no bed I couldn't carry my parts boxes to the clean up, so I had to mount it. And the size was worked out nicely. I emptied almost both the parts boxes into it (big rubbermaid boxes).
That weekend I fit: a gallon of gear oil, a gallon of motor oil, left and right side birlfields w/ axle shafts, starting fluid, brake cleaner, socket set, a bag of misc tools, and misc spare parts. I was in a hurry so if I packed organized I think I could get it all in there. I took it all out after the week end til I can make it more secure, it locks but it's not the strongest.
Looking good Dude! I like how the front bumper's coming along. Sweeet! <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0"> <IMG SRC="smilies/biggrin.gif" border="0">
