Default Highrock Bumper Storage Box??

Does anyone really think Highrock 4x4 Storage Box is a good idea? First of all, it limits the approach and/or departure angles. The front bumper has a roller for helping get over stuff, but that box might be taking the hit first. The rear would get left behind on the first gully. I'm thinking the winch line has a good chance of dragging over the front box under some conditions. That clevis hook bouncing on the box cover would drive me nuts after about 2 seconds, though that's easily fixed. Finally, a good dip in the water would fill the box and make whatever is inside rust and/or soggy. I suppose the High-Lift jack option allows the water to drain out.

I'm not in the market for a bumper, but this just doesn't seem like a good design to me.

Thoughts?

Sorry, every idea is worth reviewing, but

that bumper storage box, is only for "MALLERS"

would be totally destroyed with winch use and the rear one would eliminate HITCHING

The bumper storage box looks most useful for softening the blow on the Impala when you rear end them.
