This not the typical build up that you might find here. Here is a write up and picture none the less. When I drove my truck on wheelin trips I seemed to have a lack of dry storage space. Typical standard cab mini truck. I decided to build my own enclosed Hitch haul. I know I could buy a pre made one but I want to incoperate some of my own Ideas.

Well there you have it. I made a lock rod out of 1/2" round stock to retain the table in the mount. For it size and amount of material used not much effort is needed to remove or install. now only time will tell how well it will work. So until then..... I will see you on the trails, JSTCRWL

Nice write up! Definitely makes it easy to unload your camping gear at the campsite, or the garage when you get home.

Great work Jim. I saw it at the shop yesterday when i was playing with the TJ. Now my only question is do you think that box will start to sag in the summer with out support on the hindged side. The middle will be fine but, i think the 2 hidge side corners may not like the heat and a load. Just wanted to give you something to think about.

Tony i had alread thought of those issues. Not to sound like a smart a$$ (eventhough I know I am most days) thats why I titled it an experiment. I don't know how well any of it will work or if at all. My plan was to keep all the stuff that normally be piled on the passenger seat. I was not planning to put tool boxes in there since tools stay with the truck. Also the box may not be big enough depending how it works I may have to build a bigger one. Any ways now there is nothing to do but try it out. With that said it is time to go wheelin!!!!!!!
