    Thanks, the boxes are by Bauer through 4 States and V C Milne & Sons Welding in St. George, UT did the work.

    This was almost 4 years ago and if I remember the boxes were $500 each and the fabrication work/install was around $2,100, I think.

    Sure it will be up from that. Did you do one on each side of the trailer? I sure do love the look they did a great job. Do you have any problems with the boxes? They look like they are made good maybe 18 gag? Are those the 48" x 24"?
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.

    True, most likely the price may have gone up. They are on both sides of the trailer. They still look great, the frame rail pic was just a month ago so after almost 4 years they are holding up very well. Very easy to keep clean and they are tucked back just a tad so they don't get any road debris flung up on them. Yes, 48"x24"

    Perfect TY for the feedback. Will see what the vendor comes up with and if I don't like that option I will get these instead. It sounds like you did not buy the brackets to mount but had them make some for it.

    Hey no problem, I bought the wrong brackets, ones that would mount the boxes to the tractor frame. So that's why I went to the fabricator.

    One of the skirt manufacturers makes a set with a hinge and section that lifts up. so you can access a spare tire etc. Maybe you could figure out a way to make a door on yours.
