You may find it will be stronger if its only say 150mm wide.
There is another style that fits behind your wheel with a parcel shelf on top
That you can stand on

I've thought of that but the door mechanism kept me back.
You don't want much weight on the doors as hinges are the weak point

Just saw a DX wagon on the weekend with 2x dog boxes and a jerry can holder on the small rear door.
Did not look good and Patrol weighed 3.7ton empty, Had way too much shite on it
