Reese Goosebox install.

[traveldawg]

This is my third hitch. I replaced the original RotoFlex with a MorRyde, and have now gone to the Reese Goosebox (a nice clean bed). I could make this lates change since I also traded out my short bed for a long bed.

I used sone shackles to attached the safety chains to the bed anchor points and put some (beefy) eye hooks on the hitch to connect the chains to. Hopefully this way there is less reaching into the bed for the chain connection(s).

You can see I also added an air hose extension to the Reese fill valve and T'd it to a TireMinder sense to monitor the air bag in the hitch. Next I may have to extend the release cable but we'll see how that works out on the next few trips.

That's a B&W ball and anchor points in the bed of the truck. I put the chains in some wire shield stiff to keep the noice and scraping down. I store the chains in some bed pockets I installed on both sides of the truck bed. Those pockets also hold a windshield squeeze which actually gets more use as a grabber for stuff that slide to the front of the bad.

Looks great! Only comment is the eye bolt position should be turned 90 degrees. Angular side loading of a eye bolt is not recommended if you ever had to depend on them in an emergency.
