Low Profile Deezee tool box w/toolbox tonneau cover doesn't work.

[edgespeeder06]

I installed the Deezee toolbox on my 2004 and bought a tonneau cover that goes from the toolbox back but the lock and handles on the toolbox sit so low that i can't reach it if i put the tonneau cover on...so my option was to get 2 pieces of 2x4 and painted with black spray paint and then herculiner roll on and put it under the toolbox to lift it up alittle.......is that a good or bad idea? I will have some pictures later

Whoever sold you the cover should have known this and told you that you can't put a tonneau on with low-profile toolbox.

You can do what you said but I would sell the low-pro and get a regular box that works with the cover.

i had an extang tool box tonneau that sits behind my tool box and it works cuz i dont have a low pro which also give me more space. agreed when the shop that sold you the tonneau should have know

[edgespeeder06]

ah okay that sucks.....i really like the low pro.....does the full size version of it go all the way to the bottom of the bed? or just full size up?

[thejake1989]

the one i have just sits up higher. check my album or link in sig if you want to see pics.

i am going to be getting a low pro most likely when i get a black one soon and dont use the tonneau any more

[edgespeeder06]

ah okay good to know.....I liked the fact that i could still fit flat tables under it since it doesnt go all the way down....cheapest way would be to lift it but since this had some external and internal damages i want to see what the company can do for me.

Here's some pics of the fitment issues;

yea a simple spacer would do the trick. i like having mine up also so i can put long items in and still close the tailgate as opposed to the in bed on i had in my old truck.

alright good so a piece of 2x4 will be fine? lol as weird as that seems, it may work well

we talking wood or metal? metal will last longer and look better.

[edgespeeder06]

I was thinking wood.....metal? what type are we looking at? I just don't want it to pop out and fly away too, just a bunch of stuff to worry about as well.

[thejake1989]

i would forsee more problems with the wood and looks. just a rectangle piece metal 2x4 like you wanted in wood. doesnt have to be strong but itll look better and last alot longer

[edgespeeder06]

yup true....i will see what i can come up with.
