Tailgating/storage box.

The following are pictures of a tailgater box I bought a couple of decades ago. Used it on my old Ford Ranger pickup. The Ranger was so narrow, the box covered the brake lights and license plate. So I added lights and plate holder. The lights plug into the 4 wire trailer receptacle.

Right now I don't know much it will take off the front tires. The receiver is rated for 750#, but I will not have nearly that much weight in the box.

I plan on going to the CAT Scales and weight the beast without and with the silver box.

I've never seen one so nice. It looks very well made.

Picked it up at Leroy's Truck Accessories in Richmond, VA. I've never seen another one like it since.

I did a little exploring, and it was made by VT Toolbox and Canopy in Australia. Just a bit of trivia.
