Tool Box Help

I have done a bit of searching for tool boxes on this site. I have found some I like - the UWS low profile for one, but I can't decide if I should go black or white.

It seems the black looks good on a white truck and the silver looks better on darker trucks. I can't find many black boxes on black trucks.

Any suggestions?

What color is your truck now? Here's a black UWS low profile on my black sand pearl tacoma. I like the way it looks.

 

That's exactly the kind of picture I am looking for. I do like the black. Thanks!

I am seeing them on Amazon for about $300. Does that sound about right?

check my build page for more info. After prep work, I painted mine with bed liner.

 

Yes, I believe that's the cost of a new one. Make sure you get free shipping though as it will be expensive if you have to pay for it. Have you checked craigslist? I bought mine used for $150 and picked it up locally. I saw someone in the norcal forum selling one and I met up with him at a mod day meet.

 

But I need a place to wedge an extension ladder. I don't want a ladder rack for the top. On my Colorado, I had a flimsy Kobalt box and it had about 8 inches under to jam the bottom of the ladder.

As for Amazon, the shipping looks free so far. Unfortunately Buffalo's selection of Craigslist items is not that wide-ranging, believe me I have been checking. Amazon it will be.

is there enough room under the box to fit the top of a ladder?

 

Black Pro-Tech toolbox and headache rack...

 

Heres mine

 

love mine.. trailfx is the brand. the place i bought it from said it is a UWS with a different sticker. i paid 380something out the door for it, i wanted the uws on Amazon for 306? but they were out of stock

 

Thats exactly what I hop mine will look like. It should be here Tuesday. As soon as it is, I will install and get some pictures of it. Thanks for all the replies.

I had mine built for me...needed a larger one.

 

rob... how about some pictures ?

 

How did you mount this to the bed?

 

I definitely wouldn't put white on a black truck. Chrome only if you have other chrome. Black on black would be the best in my opinion.

 

Dropped 4 J bolts through the slots in the tool box and hooked them into the rails on the side of the bed.

 

These are what I used.

 

I have a radiant red tacoma and trying to decide between black or chrome low profile. What do yall suggest?

 

Black all the way. Check out the weather guard box. It's spendy but worth the extra $ in my book. Has a beefed up lid. Better locks, and the sliding tool tray is really handy

 

Me too they work great nice and tight
