I should try my Line-X dealer to see if he sells them. When I got my liner, he said he was going to start selling accessories.

So is the consensus single lid box over gull box? I just felt that the gull box opened and closed a lot easier. But didn't give you the option for putting a really long object in there if needed (depending on overall size). And the handles are in a more accessible location.

And push button over handle. I wouldn't have thought that before reading this.

 

Any other thoughts from anyone on this?

Single Lid vs. Double Lid
Kobalt vs. Husky
Push Button vs. Handle

 

Do these tool boxes prohibit/limit the use of the tie downs underneath where it is mounted? I'd be getting the shallower box. Not the deep one.

 

I have a flareside and can still use mine though i do have to crawl in the back of the bed.

I'm not sure what your going to use it for but when i worked for my father in highschool i had the split lid and hated it. it leaked and anything longer than a wrench was hard to get in and out ( baseball bat for example) you also had two locks - one for each side. My current box ( single lid) does not leak, only has one lock, and my golf clubs fit comfortably in it. I have also been told that the single lid is more secure than the split though that may depend on the manufacturer

 

Leaked? I don't like the sound of that. I'd just keep everything in the exposed bed if I wanted it to get wet. And I would like to have the option to put my golf clubs in there if needed. Maybe I have to start thinking single lid again. I just didn't like the lack of smoothness when closing the single lid from the side.

 

Anybody have a picture of a chest toolbox in their truck?

 

For those of you Super Crew owners, has the reduction in bed space become an issue. I find myself hesitating for the three times a year I may use the whole bed.

sspangl,

Can you post a Home Depot or Lowe's link of the exact kind of j bolts you are referring to?

As of right now, my tool box preference has shifted to the Husky, black, low-profile, single-lid. Though I didn't see it with push buttons instead of handles.

 

the low profile cant be made w/the push button - just not enough space for it.

as for the bolt. i got mine from ace hardware. think of a bolt in the shape of the letter "j" the top if the j is threaded. you hook the bottom under the lip of the bed rail and then bolt it through the hole in your box. did a search but no luck.

 

Forget about the j-bolts; get the “no-drill “Grip Rite” installation kit” at Lowe’s. It’s a solid mounting system worth the money and makes the box easily removable in minutes if need be while retaining the exact mounting location for a quick reinstall.

 

Hmmmm...so I suppose if I know I need to use the whole bed, I can remove the tool box and leave it home. Is it heavy? Or I should ask, is it a one man job to remove it when empty?

 

Does ANYBODY have a picture of a chest toolbox in the bed of a supercrew?

 

Love my Husky!

 

I hear people talkin about UWS and Kobalt and Husky. Does anyone think any toolboxes are much better built than any other? Also are there any brands that arent worth even looking at? Thanks in advance for your help.

 

Any pic's? I have looked at that one...tried to find the model on the delta web site to make sure it would fit, so I never bought it. I really like it, and it looks like a steal for $ 189.00.

Regards!

 

I was looking at toolboxes about two months ago. I had a chance to spend a substantial amount of time looking at the Kobalt, Husky, Delta Pro, and UWS. Of those four, UWS was by far the best. Thickest aluminum, and overall just felt better. Second would be the Delta Pro box. I was looking for something that I felt safe sitting and standing on and I didn't get think I could do that without the lids deforming on the Kobalt and Husky boxes. I didn't look at any Weatherguards but from what i've heard they are as good or better than the UWS boxes.
