    Great find, I like this a lot. No need for it right now though.

    I think the J-hooks are made to go over the bed rail and hook under the lip when the box is sitting up on the rails like it would on the step-side. I'd imagine you need U-hooks or simple bolts and nuts.

    I think this would fit, maybe not between the wheel wells. The splash tool box says 54" long, but further specs say it is 65" long. The aerobox.html is only 58.5 inches long. Hmm mm. I could be wrong. It's late and has been a long day, but the numbers I see say it will fit somewhere.

    I bet it will. Are your bed deminsions the same as a 2nd gen? If unknown, take a quick few measurements and I'll check against the tool box.
    Bed depth
    Distance between tie down rails (side to side)
    Distance between wheel wells
    Height of wheel wells
    I suspect it will fit, but I'm glad to compare for you. Great tool box - love mine!

    Update - I had a chance to check the dimensions of the tool box.
    Top lid is 54.5" x 21"
    It is 14" tall overall
    The wheel well height is 9" tall
    The center section between the wheel wells is 41.5"

    Hope this helps

    That's a nice find, like how low profile it sits.

    exactly what i was looking for. I have an action packer box with all my recovery gear in it and it's heavy and I'm sick of loading and unloading it for every trip. Would love to have recovery gear locked up in the bed 24/7

    I used to keep that action packer in the back seat but someone busted out a window to steal it but they ran after alarm went off.

    Personally, the first mod I did to my truck was add an ammo can to one of my outer bed rails. Its one of the larger ones for 40mm shells iirc. Had it on the truck for 2 years and its done a phenomenal job at holding all my tie downs and misc. recovery gear. And on top of that, most people have no clue how to open it so its secure even without a lock. I'll post pictures of it later if anyone is interested.
