As we all know FJ40’s don’t have any storage. I’ve been thinking of adding some type of storage box for awhile.
I wanted a box large enough to store fluids/recovery gear/tools and emergency supplies.
Needed to fit between frame rails and doesn’t hang super low. Also wanted it low enough I could possibly fab a fold forward rear seat. I think I achieved all my goals.
I’ve been putting off welding in my cargo floor for years and this is the last project before it gets welded. Top view of harbor freight trailer tongue box. Perfect fit. In retrospect I should have trimmed the trailer hitch and moved the box back 3 more inches. I say that because I would have more flexibility to move the axle back.

Doesn’t hang low
Final product. This is the 2 3/4 sq ft harbor freight trailer tongue box.
