WeatherGuard Toolbox now Available for First Gens

I’ve been on the lockout for a good toolbox for this truck for years, I know UWS makes some that’ll fit but I’ve never seen a WeatherGuard one. So when I saw they released this one, I jumped on it.

It’s the 131-5-03 model saddle toolbox in diamond plate Aluminum. Free shipping if you order from Home Depot.

Me likey. I have a craftsman that’s been serving me alright but the top has started to dent in, paint is faded, and it’s son of a bitch to unlock it with the key.
Is that a bottom drawer that pulls out or are those just two tie down hooks?

 

Alas it’s just some tie down points. They give you a nice tray that sits inside that’s not pictured.

My one criticism is that it’s aluminum and not steel. My buddy has a full size WeatherGuard for his RAM and it’s so much more solid and sturdy - it uses plate steel.
