Tool Box Recommendation?
Trying to find a good toolbox for my f150 so I can hold some of my crap like jumper cables, tool set, extra truck parts, etc etc. Just a normal one with 1 big lid and a way to lock it. Anyone know of a good one?

Rawson Koenig, made in Houston, and longest lasting. I have numerous boxes from them, and all will not wear out. Also we have a service truck with a toolbox bed from them and the bed has out lasted 3 trucks so far.

what material should I look for? steel or aluminum? I don't want something that will rust in 2 years, also will the stuff inside my box keep dry?

They will keep dry, the aluminum ones are just more expensive and only 80% of the weight. One thing to watch is that in Texas heat gas shocks go bad, so I would get one with metal springs.

I've had that one since October(right after i got the truck), I was looking for one for the same reasons as you. I'm happy with it so far, no complaints.
