Bed/wheel well storage question

Spikes · 2026-11-05T12:11:08-0600

Has anyone come across anything that sits between the taillight assembly area and the wheel well? I know those large 'over the wheel well' swing out systems exist, but I was hoping for something smaller that would not take as much space (and ideally could be removed easily). I've done a bit of searching but have not come across anything myself.

Here is my vision courtesy of MS Paint.

Sort of, but was looking to avoid drilling and it doesn't necessarily need to be enclosed either. I may try to MacGyver something out of milk crates as a POC and then 3D print something.

Hah, that may be an option!

I keep a small plastic toolbox there. Couple straps, hitch pins, air accessories for my onboard air, funnel for fuel treatment, etc. Doesn't fit perfect, but good enough.
