    Are there any of these out there that will work? Access cab 6'

    I have the weather guard box with push button locks if that matters. I've searched the whole site many times and have come up short

    if you are talking about a tonneau that will come up to the edge of your tool box your SOL. i wanted the same but couldnt find anything specific for our trucks. there was one guy on here who fabbed up his own but that just seems like too much work. im in the market now for a truck box thats recessed below my tonneau cover if any one has any recommendations.

    There's tonneaus out there that fit tacomas with toolboxes. The low profile box might be a different story. Websites say "may not work with low profile boxes". Mine doesn't have the pull out latches that would get it the way of the cross member... It has push buttons that I'm thinking would go under the cross bar and be accessible by rolling up the tonneau. It's an expensive gamble to have to return something that doesn't work

    yeah that is a gamble. and that truxedo box looks nice but not what im looking for. im looking for a chest style. something i could take in and out as needed. almost like a gang box.

    yes just like that. i know klein tools and ridgid make one but just not sure if the legs are detachable in order for it to fit under the tonneau cover. im also not opposed to the diamond plate style chests as its the same idea just not as durable as th gang boxes.

    http://m.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-32-in-x-19-in-Portable-Storage-Chest-2032-OS/100189569 I bet this one would fit. I looked at these before buying the weather guard box, The tonneau isn't a necessity. It would just be nice to cover stuff up

    yeah thats the one i was interested in. problem is from the top of my bed mat to the support bars on the tonneau is 18 1/2 and im not sure if the outside measurement of that gang box is 19 from top to bottom of the feet. like i said if i could remove the feet then i think id be golden. i just need home cheapo to have one in stock so i can take some real measurements. scroll through opiestacos profile and you can find his post of his tonneau/ toolbox setup.

    Will do. Thanks for your help. What if you cut the feet off and added low profile casters. They make some heavy duty ones. Just a thought.

    I will try to get some pictures of mine. I just took out a section of a trifold extang cover. To make it a bifold, and cut the cover down to fit the frame. It just happend to work out taking one section out was the right size i needed for my tool box.

    Cool. I've been looking around and it looks like some will work. But it's a big gamble

    Mines not water tight because of the style tool box I have. But it keeps a ton of water and snow out.

    I found a cheap one Craigslist. It happened to have a tear on the end. So it worked out.
