My chick came through, AGAIN!!

So my woman says she wants me to open another gift because it wouldn't fit under the tree. She pulls out this huge box and I had no idea idea what it was. I opened it up and said SWEEET! This diamond plate tool box from Tuffy. Fits nicely and doesn't eat up too much bed space. I had to "FORD" it up a little so I bought this hitch cover emblem from Autozone for $20.00 and bolted it on. So far she's got me the billet handles and this box. She is totally on this christmas. I wonder what other mods are under the tree?? Honey, if you happen to read this, I LOVE you more than the truck! (even though you don't believe me)

That is REALLY nice! Never seen a truck box quite like that one. You got yourself a keeper (wife...and truck)!

Awesome box jperea! It sounds like you have some expectations to fill for the little lady! She hasn't been roaming around the jewelry stores this Christmas has she?

Like you, I have trouble convincing my wife that she's 'before' the truck. LOL!

Well let's just say the Tiffany elves are at work. But it's not an engagement ring, yet.

Do you have an AEM intake on the truck?? I was not aware they made an intake for the 150.

Yes, AEM does make one. I had one at one point but switched to K&N. Just never took the sticker off.

It is made by Tuffy. Not sure of the model number though. I know it also comes in black. I did end up using some self tappers to mount it to the floor of the bed. But i was able to use some 1/4" x 3" toggles to mount it up top. There is about a 1" factory hole in the top corner of the bed's side wall that the toggle slipped right in to. I did have to drill a hole on each side of the box to get the bolt through.

Side note:
Sorry to say her sisters are both pregnant. And they're both spoken for.

That is a really nice box, nice and compact! I especially love how you "forded" it up.

Sherm,
I got the idea from your box. I remebered seeing it in the galleries but I couldn't remember whose it was. Anyway, thanks for the great idea. Everytime I show it off, people ask if it's made by Ford. Have a good holiday!!
