Deflecta-Shield narrow low profile box for a midsize truck

At the time I bought this they only made the compact and full size in black.

I'm looking into getting a truck box too. How do you guys have yours mounted? Bolted through the bed rails? Looks to me like that would be hard to get a nut on the underside. How did you do it? Thanks!

for the newer tacomas....alot of guys have used j-hooks and attached them thru the side rails. on mine.,.........i used large self tapping screws and it has worked fine. the j-hooks are the way to go in your case though, as you dont have to drill a hole or make a hole in your bed caps, and its pretty easy too.

TicTacOma · 10-12-2008, 03:36 AM

I have the UWS Lo-Pro black box too. I mounted mine through the top of the bed sides with 3/8" self-tapping bolts. The supplier who sold me the box provided them. Make sure you put something between the rails and the box. They have a foam strip in the box in the hardware bag. It'll keep the squeak out. Also, if you are gonna blow a self-tapper through, don't crank the hell out of it. Just snug and then back it off a smidge. You'll know when. That bed rail needs to move with expansion. If you crank it down like you're tieing up a battleship, the rails will buckle behind the box. It ain't a pretty sight.

I like this one! Thats my vote!! I always want something i like even though i dont need it.

jhodge83 · 10-12-2008, 07:47 AM

not good pics, but here's the height of mine.....

and here's the width....

also, the hi lift i have sits inside the box and is still out of the way for my sliding drawer and all the other crap in the bottom of my box

Trail Boss Brand. Leaves the sides and bottom accessable for long objects such as shovels, hoes, etc. Dual gas pistons inside to lift and hold. Attached via J-hooks to rail slots. Works for me.

GABoy · 10-12-2008, 08:04 AM

Husky box will work but its not a perfect fit. I would recommend a different brand box.

I thought mine fit perfect. I didnt want a box that went all the way to the floor of the bed, so I can still use the bed to carry sheets of wood.

aaronk · 10-12-2008, 10:44 AM

Any place that sells UWS boxes online?

Two J bolts on each side plus a bolt and washer at the back on each side. By using six attachments total nothing has to be super tight.

i also want to know where to buy the uws, i checked home depot for the husky low pro and they dont have it , they only had one black one that would go on a dodge or something.
