Back Rack with Toolbox

Hey just seeing if anyone out there has a backrack with the toolbox brackets and toolbox I have had my truck for about a month now still trying to decide which way to go cap/bed cover/or backrack and box like i had on m old fullsize truck. Would love to see pictures if you have them.

 

I have a rail mounted headache rack that I got off ebay. I put this box in today. I just took the bed rails off, drilled two holes in the bottom and used J hooks to mount the box. I had to leave it out away from the rack a little so the lid can open.

Don't know if this helps you, but here it is anyway.



These boxes are not all that thick, so I cut some flat stock to brace where it bolts through.

 

This is the rack that I used if you're interested. I will warn you that it's starting to rust already. Poor prep prior to finishing I would guess. I. Going to take it off, clean it up, hit it with POR-15, and repaint in the spring...

How deep is you box (front to back) I' thinking something thin like that hoping i can find a black one might look good on the my dark gray truck.

 

The packaging said 12". I didn't actually measure it though.

 

Just read your whole reply. Yeah, I wanted a black one too. They discontinued the black version of this box though, and it was cheap. $159 at Lowes.

It's also shallow. It gives me enough space to stow my stuff, but still has room underneath

 

Sub'd. I'm looking for this same solution. I want a box now, and will eventually add a bed rack.

 

I have a Kolbalt 12" width low profile truck box on my truck and would like to be able to put a rack on the bed and keep the tool box too.

I bet this guy's 38x38 or 40x45 racks might fit on the bed with three tool box still on. I'll have to measure it tomorrow.

I run a modify headache rack and tool box. I hook the tool box in with j hooks. Works great I can have an empty bed in 5 minutes to hual stuff like fire wood.

 

How’d you do your tonneau cover with the back rack and toolbox? I’ve been wanting to do this but haven’t found anything.

 

If @opiestaco doesn't return (last seen 4 Nov 2020), these posts of his might help.

 

Another method for the toolbox/tonneau combo, from @NorthRoad is to make a cutout in the cover and install the box through the hole.

 

The soft tonneaus also allow the option of having a toolbox completely under the topper, but that adds an extra step when accessing your tools/gear. Photos courtesy of @foxmotox7 and @RobD.
