    Hello Everyone,

    New to TW. Something came across my mind that I am looking for some ideas for. I am wanting to build some type of utility box setup for carrying gear when hitting trails. wondering if anyone had any on their rigs and pictures obviously would be the most helpful. I am looking to do something about the same height as the current bed (not all the way up to the roof like most utility beds ive seen).

    Let's see what you got!

    Thanks in advance

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    I think the easy way is find a used utility body customize it to what you want.

    The other option is build your own from scratch many companies make boxes it gets real expensive.

    I had 3 customers the built service trucks.

    How much gear are we talking?

    A couple of contico boxes and tool packs have served as my loadout for years. Outfit the bed when I'm going to do weekends stuff, stack it in the garage when I'm commuting.
