Tool-less toolbox attachment

Hi all,

I'm a new member here. Recently picked up a 2014 Tacoma to replace a car I totaled in an accident. I encountered this forum while searching for a toolbox for the bed. As mentioned in other threads here I found that the slim-line toolbox from Lowes was what I was looking for. However, I wanted a secure, tool-less, and corrosion resistant method for attaching it to the utility rails.

Using some aluminum plate, stainless threaded rod, stainless rivets and washers, and phenolic knobs w/ brass inserts, the photos below show my quick & dirty creation...

Dee-Zee clamp w/ stainless rod (and JB Weld):


Aluminum plate for reinforcement w/ alignment washers:



Installation & final assembly:



Have fun,
