Bed tool boxes, yes I searched...

Hi folks. I am looking at finding someone that know's a little about this. I would like to get a tool box in my AC cab bed and find ones for $250 to 1600 bones. I am looking to spend around $750. Would love to hear experiences of folks that own them. Been searching with Duck Duck Go and there really is not a lot out there except lame Amazon reviews. Is there a thread I should look at? Thanks in advance!

 

WeatherGuard. End of story. Black or polished. Deep or shallow. Had one in my 16.

 

I'd say camlocker.
Although the above recommendation is a good one.

search camlocker. There have been a few threads on the subject in the past several months. They will have info about other brands too.

 

I got a deezee in 2002 for my 1992 toyota pickup. I still have the box over 20 years later, its been in and out of trucks and the back yard since then. Still looks and works great, though I lost the keys long ago.

I did put it in my tacoma for a short bit and it worked great in there.

 

I'm happy with my UWS.

 

My semi custom ProTech

 

UWS but the quality has fallen off. For the love of god get a low profile. I had the Toyota OEM Tacoma box on my 07 and absolutely loved it. I now have a UWS low profile on my Silverado and had it sprayed with Line-X and I am happy with it.

 

Thank you all for your replies! I will check them all out. Yes low profile is definitely a must.

 

Duck Duck Go misses a lot of things when searching. Yea it's private, but it also provides a less than accurate result.

 

Thank you hiPSI. You're right about that and that is why I mentioned it. Thanks again for everyones help. I now have a lot of leads. It is down to the WeatherGaurd or UWS. The latter is kinda taking the lead due to price but in the end...it's really only $250 bones. I almost got a tonue cover but I wanted something more secure and I think the truck boxes look really good on the AC cab.

 

I have UWS in both of my trucks, one is 17 years old, the other is 7 year.


Have never had a problem with either box but when I ordered my last one from Amazon it came dented in shipping. It wasn't packaged very well but the damage wasn't too bad, only cosmetic and didn't affect operation. I would try to find a better vendor if I were you if you care about something like that.

 

I like Weather Guard but I'm biased... https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/weather-guard-low-profile-toolbox-300-socal-ramona.781613/

 

Only two to pick from.

Wickum weld or pro tech.

 

what lift were you running on that too? Looks really good! I love the look of lifted/leveled DCLB’s

 

My Craftsman low profile crossover box from of all places Lowe’s has been solid and water tight for five years and holds all my shit.

 

Whatever you choose look for a local dealer or do a ship to store so you can inspect it first. I have never seen one that was shipped to home that did not arrive damaged. If you have a tractor supply in your area they have some better built brand boxes that are pretty good.

 

Weatherguard is good but you won’t have much truck bed left!

 

I own a UWS but have used Weather Guard in the past, both brand are good, I bought my UWS from a small truck outfitting shop out in the sticks who sells scratch and dent ones for cheap, it was around 10 years ago but I want to say I only paid around $200 or so for a 18 inch deep chrome USW low profile, it had a dent on a bottom corner but I've added other small dents over the years so I don't care. The only feature I've seen that sometimes I wish I had is the lid rail so I could strap things down on top of it when I run out of bed space.

 

It was an eiback 2/1 kit with 255/80 17's. Sold that truck about a year ago.

 

dang! Looks really good. That’s how I want to get my 23’ to look! I’m thinking about doing the westcott design front lift and an add a leaf in the rear.
