    If the J-hooks attach to the track system, it should be no issue. According to the couple of racks i looked at via google image, most of them have channels running down the bed rails that the toolbox will rest on top of.

    Could you suggest some brands that will fit with a tool box? Preferably with an opening for the operable window, black, and mesh or louvered

    I'm sorry for the delay, I missed this earlier.
    In all honesty, I just did a quick google search previously, and it showed several models that looked compatible with a toolbox. My personal experiences with them have only been with a couple that were custom welded for a buddy's truck. Maybe someone else can chime in with a suggestion?

    Edit:
    Here's a couple that I came across... once again, not sure on quality or anything like that though.
