I keep going back and forth on this idea. The cargo box purchase fell apart when the company asked for an additional $460 shipping

- That's after I checked out and paid for the box. The box was $579 less $70 coupon ............
So I started planning the door mount idea again.
Then I saw some hitch cargo racks on sale for $30. I don't need the racks but I did want the 2" sq tube with 6" lift

A big box would look like it was being dragged behind the van without the lift I think. A retailer here is moving to a new store so they would rather sell their stock rather than move it I guess.
I don't think I'll need the extension in the photo but at $7 I bought 2 just in case (one for each side). They sold out quickly. Looks like I'm going with a large metal box with bikes mounted on top. I found underbody truck boxes at three shops locally and the prices weren't too bad. I think I'll wait a bit to get a box on sale.
I'll reuse the four slides from my other sliding cargo box project. The box will slide away from the rear this time, not side to side.
