I picked two of these up at the MVPA nationals. This is the first one lined up, not yet bolted in, driver side. Not sure if I want to crowd the top of the fuel tank or not.

I could, but that is getting to hang too low.

What are those boxes? Are they hanging from the lids?

I felt the need to say something, since this appears to be a mini-haspin gathering.
With that said, looks fine to me. Can you even fit a 395 spare tire on the carrier?

The boxes ARE mounted upside down from their intended mounting position. They are from a "sixcon water pump module" nsn 4320-01-318-1853 according to the book that was inside the boxes. the metal box is solid aside from the access door, not sure what you mean by "lid". NO, no 395 spare will hang there. Thinking of using an 1100r20 till I figure where I want to put the 7th 395.

I like it will bind the hinges on the dropside

Shouldn't. The door that opens is behind the pin that the drop sides pivot on. I will be transferring the mudflap bump stops to the box, just in case.

Looks good. The more tool/boxes, the better. They will never be empty.

I know, thats why I wanted it. I need to get a bunch of pad-locks all keyed alike once I'm done.

Home Depot has multiple lock sets keyed alike. Decent price too.

I like it Gimp 
I'd like to have a little slimline toolbox t hang above the fuel tank. I measured it and looked for something commercial, but no one makes anything (that I could find at least) to fit int here.

You know what would work well... and maybe this already has it, but a chain or something on the lid so if wanted you could make it lay flat. Make it work as a table or little work bench, but able to unhook it so it would swing all the way down.. just a thought.

Yeah, but the new masterlocks with the hexagonal hoop SUCK. I bought 12 of them and 3-4 of them have literally fallen apart. Save your money.
I think you could stick the second box under that one, then shift it forward toward the cab to stay clear of the tire.
You might try cramming the other box on the other side and cutting an access door in the bottom for fuel pump fuse replacement. It would add unnessecary complications, but you could relocate the fuse. Also, keep the box mounting system simple in case the pump needs to come out for service.
Are you using your troop seats as stadium seating? Watch that first step!

Pulling the tank to get to the pump is what I have to do on the 109, so I will be used to it. The boxes line up with the old mudflap mount, so no real NEED to scoot it forward if I were to put it under the first one. But as I said before, I want to keep my spare tire. I will try mounting the other one above the fuel tank and see how it fits.
