Who has a toolbox?

No, latch works fine, th lid just twists a little when you go to close it and can be a little awkward. Its probably mostly the cold making the strut stiff.

 

here is mine. I got mine after the bed cage, it just happened to fit under the bar perfectly.

 

Can that box rotate so the lid is on top ?

 

yeah definitely

 

Now I want a toolbox and an air compressor. Need mo money fo mo mods!

 

If I did it all over again, I would probably go with a chest style toolbox that is a couple of inches lower than the bed rails. I like my toolbox and will keep it, but I don't know if I like the toolbox being on the bed rails more than the stock look.

 

Picked up a uws 42" for my dclb. It fits perfectly between the wheel wells. For around $300. I found a husky 42" chest box for $250 at Home Depot when I went to go buy some mounting hardware. I would have liked to get the Husky because it was a bit more durable.

 

Here's my setup:


I don't typically have my cans and hi-lift on there, but I made mounts for both.

When they're not on there, the box sits just below the bed rails, so you can't quite tell it's there.



I keep a tent, with my 72hr kit in it, as well as an emergency 6 pack and box-o-wine.

 

I like the fuel can placement. What did you use for mounts?

 

Thanks, they are just mounts I found on ebay.



They work pretty well with rubber bunjees to secure the cans.


I drilled holes in the box and used metal plates on the inside of the box to anchor the bolts. They are mounted securely.

 

Don't have one, yet. I want one, but I also need to keep my camper shell on the truck to hide my scrap metal from my evil neighbor who likes to call the city on me, so I can't get one right now. Unless they make any that don't sit on the sides of the bed?

 

The one I have would work. I've been debating getting a topper as well. Mine sits in the bed- just about flush with the top of the bed, with room for gas cans on the side. You'd even be able to carry fuel and a topper with one sized like mine.

 

I've got a low pro black one. I love it but I hate it haha

I like it because if I didn't have one I'd have nowhere to store my tools and other various automotive stuff.

I hate it just because it take up bed space...

 

That a Kobalt? Seems like everyone likes the black kobalts the best right?

 

No, my brand is called BetterBuilt. I would have gotten a Kobalt, but the only ones I could find were the skinny ones. I like the deeper ones.

 

Better built makes the kobalt boxes. Mine is a kobalt/better built. Just has the kobalt tag on it!

 

Ah gotcha. Yeah I want a slim so I can still throw the motorcycle on the truck. Slim width but good depth is what I beed

 

Thanks for posting this! This looks like a great solution for holding down those beds
