Hitch Mount Mobile Storage system

Anyone have one of these? If so, how did it work out for you?

I bought something similar for my Cherokee... but that was before I bought a truck... Now I just use the bed of the truck... If that ain't big enough... I will use the trailer.

No way.

You can get a 500 lb. capacity "cargo carrier" from Reese, (About $100, or with the lights for about $50.00 more) go to tractor Supply and get their top of the line tool box ($360.00). Hundred bucks or so in castors and some fabrication, you'll have about the same thing for much less.

I looked at the carrier at www.etrailer.com

Whoever makes the better quality alum box (in black) for TSC is building one sweet box. It has the single side push button for the lid, not all flimsy like the $99 crossover boxes.

Here is one of the carriers I was going to get for my 5'er (firewood/generator).

You can get them in a few different styles, just make sure the base (this one is supposed to be 60") will work out for your chosen boz.


Good Luck.

The double deep is JUST like the Weather Gaurd brand, very nice unit.

Not sure why they don't show a pic, it is something you would want to pick up in person. I can see one of those catching some dings in shipping to your house.

Looks fine to me. Main thing it to check out the function of the lid, how positive it locks, if it feels cheasy when you open it.

Believe it or not I had good luck with the Husky (Home Cheapo) brand double deep box I had. Never gave me a bit of trouble, I had it in two different trucks.
