It also sports a mini tray for small trinkets and tools or gear. AT the ranger5g.com forum, John wrote, “I’m far from a technician/expert unlike others on here, but I was very happy once it was installed/finished. Have to trim just a bit more where the top of the box recesses next to the bed on the driver’s side, but it’s negligible.”
