Here’s an easy mod to get a little extra storage in the bed. All in wasn’t more than $180 including the Plano case.
It can slide along the rails wherever I need it and I can use it for general storage or place my foam back in to carry equipment for a desert run.

Cool I have one of those cases from Sam's club along with some of the large pistol pelican knockoffs. Sturdy storage that's for sure.

One is a pressure gauge the other is a deflator, which also has a gauge. It’s redundant, in a sense, but I’ve spent years acquiring the equipment and some of it was gifted by friends or family.

front tires and rear tires. Or left side and right side. Your pick.

OP, looks good! What’s the clearance between the angle iron and the bed sides below the box?

Nice and tight. Maybe 1/2” each side. If that. The 52” case fits perfectly in there.

This is cool. Maybe consider rounding off the 90* bracket edges that stick up? Maybe everyone’s more careful than me, but it’d be no time before I’d snag a sock or a stuffed animal or a sleeping bag or the soft part of my wrist on those upturned edges.

How crazy of me to think I saw a slight texture on the parts and assumed it wasn't standard primer and paint. Thanks for your helpful and informative post!

Haha totally. No worries, the steel came from Home Depot and I hit all the pieces with flat black before I put it all together.

Working a one now. I had a Plano case just sitting around. Thing is a beast and too heavy to be portable. I'll post pics when done.
