Looks great. Couple of questions:
Do the bikes still fit in the back?
Do you have to turn both latches to open or can it be opened with one hand?

I wouldn't know about the bikes, since I really don't ride anymore. However, yes you can open it with just one hand.

Well the chest style will obviously prevent you from sliding in longer boards and stuff. Crossover allows longer objects to slide under the box. I prefer the crossover style.

I wish I would have gone with a low profile toolbox because I dont have much room in my rear window to see out of but then again i'm not sure I could fit all of my junk in a low profile box either.
And kickass, I've got a lot of stuff in mine. I've got a few socket sets, some wrenches, fishing pole and takle box, rubber boots, parka, small air compressor, shovel, tie downs, chain, extra trailer hitch witout ball, and some old shoes. I"ve probably got more stuff in there but dont know it.

I have all kinds of stuff in mine.
Some random tools
A jump box
Tow strap
An extra pair of shoes (in case I get muddy)
Shotgun shells and stuff
My jack (since my subs took over the back seat)
A Q-Beam
My trailer hitch
And other random stuff...

Hey Thump, first of all looks great! Second, do you know if you can get a low profile that is deeper to fit in the Screw? Thanks!

What do you mean?

I've got a sub-box going under the back seat so theres going to be no place inside the cab to really store stuff.

Im almost positive that you can get a deeper one.

Box looks good, man. I've got a low pro from TrailFX. Virtually the same. It's handy as hell. Jack tools, tow strap, socket set, all kinds of stuff fits in there. It also comes in handy for the trips to Wally World for all the bags of stuff we end up buying. I don't have to cram the cab full and there is actually room left over for the kids! Got mine for about $200 installed.
