Front Tongue Storage

Was wanting some extra storage in front of the tub on the tongue. Got some plastic 1x6 from Lowes, cut it to fit area in front of tub, painted it black and attached to frame with bolts. Got 2 stackable lockable tool boxes from Lowes. The top one easily holds my Andersen leveler, two chocks, my cordless drill with stabilizer attachment, my wheel lock and ball lock plus a flashlight. Got a lockable strap (it's reinforced with steel to make it hard to cut). Works out great.

    Good use for a fairly wasted space.

    Cool. I like the idea of the plastic wood. I might have to use that in the bottom of my box.

    Nice job, @rcarlson1957.  I did something similar with a vinyl wood base and storage box, and it's been great to have all the setup stuff (chocks, blocks, hose, wheel, etc) conveniently available.  What are the dimensions of your boxes?
