Trailer Tongue Toolbox

[dnote]

I need a toolbox for my M101A2. I want the kind that sits on the tongue of the trailer but my spare will be mounted to the front of the tub which doesnt leave much space. Ive googled to no avail for a box that is 18" wide in the back, 12" in the front, and 10" front to back. Height doesnt matter.
Anyone ever see one this small? Every **** one I have found is at least 2 ft wide.

You can fabricate a box out of sheet metal for a nice custom fit or you can mount a heavy duty plastic tote to it... I don't think there's a tongue tool box out there that will fit it good...

One box that I have seen that works well comes from the generator trailer. Hard to find but sure fits the bill if you can locate one. Why don't you mount the spare on this inside out of the way? I know it takes up a little space inside but it's really not much.

I made one from a sheet of aluminum diamond plate. 12" deep and matches the angle of the tongue.
With a tire on the front it will be close to the surge lunette.

Protech will custom make any tool box you want.

Im leaning towards a 40mm grenade can. It might work well in the space on the tongue I need it to fit.

Don't forget about the 20mm cans, they are nice and big. With the spare behind it, it would look proportional too.

They seem to be very close in size. I'll have to take a closer look at them.

The 20mm can is about three times the size of the 40mm can, but is just as long. If you set two 40mm cans side by side and then layed another on top of them but on it's side, you have about the same cross section as the 20mm.

Looking proportional is good but I only have so much space to work with. I'll check them out. Whatever I get can't hang over the sides of the tongue too far or it'll hit the truck in a right turn.
