Diamond Plate Tonneau Cover with Toolbox

[Larry227]

Well I finally got it. Ordered the Reds Beds tool box and cover two months ago and it finally arrived. Just got it last night so I took it out of the crate to check for shipping damage. No damage I could see so I set it on my bed to see if it fits and it looks fine. I just have to drill the holes for the rear locks and secure the toolbox so I'm going to the shop in the morning to do that. Pictures will be posted later tomorrow.

can't wait to see it!! where'd you order it from?

I ordered it through autoanything.com. The whole deal really put a strain on my patience though. I placed the order on Aug 22 and was told it would ship in 2-3 weeks from the manufacturer. After three weeks and no word or tracking number I emailed them and they called me back in about 5 minutes and explained there was a problem on the Reds Beds end but it would ship out by the end of the week. Waited another week and called again and got the same story. I finally called Reds Beds myself and still got the same story and promises. They said they were re-tooling the shop and were behind in all the orders. It finally shipped out on Oct 8 and I got it on the 18th. It was a long wait but I think it was worth it.
I will give autoanything a bit of credit. They did refund me 5% the first time I complained and the second time offered to cancel the order if I wanted to get a different one. It just bothers me when I pay for something and then have to wait two months to receive it.
Heading to the shop now and will post back later.

Ok, it took me close to two hours but over an hour of that was spent making sure I had it perfectly square on the bed and checking a thousand times where I was going to drill my lock holes. Once I had them drilled and locked in place I secured the toolbox at the front. It came out well except the rear panel is a little tweaked and the corners don't lay flat on the tailgate. I'll do some tweaking of my own on it one day. I don't think it will be too hard to straighten it out. I'm certainly not sending it back for that although I have already let them know about it.

Here's a small pic of it and more here
