Built and mounted a simple storage box.

Are you worried about the extra weight on the tailgate hinges?
The box itself is made out of 1/2” plywood and only has about 7 pounds of “gym stuff” in it, so I’m hoping the extra weight isn’t too much that it would affect the hinges in a drastic way. Also, I lost 5 pounds when I swapped out the stock tires, so there’s that.Are you worried about the extra weight on the tailgate hinges?
Ok, my first thought was tools of the heavy metal variety, lol. Looks like a great spot for my wrench bag and impact socket bag, except the weight issue.The box itself is made out of 1/2” plywood and only has about 7 pounds of “gym stuff” in it, so I’m hoping the extra weight isn’t too much that it would affect the hinges in a drastic way.

Yeah it’s a great spot to store stuff, but it’s my DD, so I just need random crap in there to prevent me from having random bins sliding around the cargo area. When I’m in need of carrying real gear, I’ll take that box out and put the heavier items in bags for the weekend. Plus, I’d have more room to put stuff as I’d take the rear seat out.Ok, my first thought was tools of the heavy metal variety, lol.

High fenders look great with the flat hood, AEV TJ vibes.Photo dump update:
What size tires these?I picked it up, then I went for a drive.
Those are the stock 33sWhat size tires these?
That's not possible. Nothing happens without pics....I just got my 2 door Willys a couple of days ago, and just minor changes planned for now. So far I've:
removed the back seats
installed my Offroam phone mount
added grab handles for my wife
removed the "Wrangler" and "4 Wheel Drive" decals
added a screen protector
deflated the overinflated tires
Still to go is the Tuffy console security safe and possibly the Mopar fuel door.
