    Doubtful. And even if it would fit I wouldn’t recommend putting big heavy metal items in there. The sheet metal is not strong enough to mount to, could dent/puncture when off roading, make it a bitch to open close tailgate, locking mechanism is in the way in the middle so it’s two isolated compartments.

    I have the hurican fab tail gate storage and it's great. Only issue is it's too heavy for the OEM damper to do anything. Anyone have any suggestions for 3rd party dampers?
