too much work, also as others have said im sure it takes a lot of stability out of the gate.

Anybody.... seems like alot (and I mean ALOT) of work for storage, but pretty cool nonetheless...

In my humble opinion, a huge amount of unnecessary work and needless expense, on a truck that does not lack for storage space, inside the cab and out in the bed.

So everytime you put your gate up its like taking your tool box and turning it on its side. Unless you pack your items tight that seems like a mess for organization.

Still give them props because it’s always cool to see something new and interesting built.

Damper people wont be able to lift their tailgates when this tailgate box is full of tools. I wonder if this gadget has been tested on rough roads? ?

I wish I shared your opinion. I have one of the wheel well boxes and still have stuff in the bed.

I love it...and would have not done the swing box storage.....and you would still want the damper with the extra weight of this box.
