    Just ordered some tires... It is some directional road tires 275/70r16 so maybe ill have plenty of boost traction and way less road noise... And might also get a little better mpg to boot

    I haven't been able to find one that's the size I want, only the kind that sit on the bedsides.

    I had a plastic truck box back in high school. That thing got so warped I couldn’t close the lids anymore. It was the gull wing kind and I hated it! Lol

    If I were to get a new one, I’d get one with the cam locker twist handles. I really like those.

    those are ideal to just toss in, and I have two plastic boxes I do that with on trips.

    I'm specifically looking for a permanent install toolbox/storage. I think that's the part everyone is missing...

    Plastics have come a long ways in 30 years since I had one in my truck. Still though, plastic. Metal box just looks right in a truck.

    I’m a function guy myself, but looks is always a part of it too. For me at least.

    Look at these. They have mounts that you can buy to easily remove them when you want to. Thought they were cool. But something im not interested in.
