    Looks great! They are very handy, I've got one laying around myself that I need to mount. My oldest and I had to push our mule and use a come along the other weekend because a rat chewed through something. Mounting that winch moved up a couple spaces on the to do list.

                          Careful with the tool box and backing up. Had to jackknife mine to get it in a drive way and had my box mounted on the front like that. The angle of the drive way pushing the back of the trailer up and the angle of the turn was the perfect storm and broke the tail light out on my truck. I've moved mine onto the top of the rails and soon to take it off completely for a different style over one of the fenders.

                            I checked the "jackknife" situation before I mounted it permanently. Had two sizes of boxes and that one didn't hit the truck. Oh by the way , that is a bed rail box not a cross the bed box it's only like 10 " wide

                              Looks good and I like the idea of the forklift plugs. I used trolling motor plugs on my winch and it got hot and melted a little. My winch is mounted on a receiver tube and slides in on top of tongue.
