    I used 1/4" j-bolts with the hook slightly trimmed to fit comfortably into and hook the top of the bed rail channel. The straight stems were run through holes in the tool box and then fender washers, with 1/4-20 nyloc nuts. I used 4 of them, one on each corner of the toolbox. Hopefully that makes sense.

    About 10 years and no issues, but also never been in an accident so I don't know how they'd hold up to major stress.
