Any ideas for a poor mans cargo box? Aluminess Style

KYC

So I would like to have a cargo box aluminess style.

I can't afford the rear bumper etc, so I wanted to build on and mount it a spare tire carrier like this one.

I use this for my spare tire on my left rear door, but I want a large box on my right door maybe to mount a water heater and a small propane tank.

Have you guys seen any homemade versions of this? I'm not handy at all with welding. I was maybe thinking I can find a plastic container? Any thought and or ideas?

My search skills either suck or there isn't a thread already. If there is please show me!

I wouldn't mount it backwards like that. Mine is "mirrored" they're meant to mount on the drivers side to not block the license plate. I would mount it as pictured because of how it attaches to the sheet metal. Closer to the hinges the better.

My handle is accessible, I wouldn't call it "wide open" but its easy enough

What have you got on top of it in this pic? Did you build a shelf?

Yeah, holds my chainsaw with the bar in the dead space between the box and the door. Pictures of everything in my build, the link i posted earlier should take you to the right page.
