One of my MOD is to relocate the spare tire on the tongue so i can put my bike rack on the back. 

1. Added another battery.

2. Added a tool box carrier.

3. Added a Goal Zero Solar Panel adjustable bracket

I like your tool box. Is it a standard pick-up tool box or another type? Where did you purchase it? How did you mount it to the tongue?

This is a standard tool box from Lowes. I mounted it using 4 U-Bolt to the frame, two on each side.

Below is the description of the box.

So a couple of questions, what is that post up on the front for?  Also, on the right side, what I at first thought was a sway control, now I do not know what it is...  Just wondering...

Thanks,

John.

Now I remember my real question...

Did you put the batteries in the new box?  How much room is left?

Bayagko2,

Nice set up. May borrow some of that.

Tip... Put the propane strap on the inside of the cover through the bottles handles. You can get the strap a lot tighter and under the cover.
