Toolboxes...Ugly or not?
This is what I got for my s-crew.

The only thing that sucks is that if you have a tonneau cover, you will need to remove it to open the box and will now work with a cap. If you are ok with that, then it is pretty nice. does not take up much space and I mounted my compressor inside it. they also sell it in black.

I have the uwr lowprofile toolbox. it is line-xd. so is my bed, rear fender wells, bullbar, and step bars. i have a few pics in my gallery, not sure if youll see what your looking for. i barely notice the toolbox because it blends with the truck so well. function before looks, its a truck....just my two cents

I agree that it depends on the truck. On my '91 I think it looks good. On my newer body styles I do not like them. They are functional though, I really like having one. I my give some consideration to one like Impact9 has.
I don't like them when they stick over the rails, at least not on the new body style trucks. I went with a chest box. Pics are in my gallery. It takes up a pretty nice chunk of the bed, but I always make it work.

Any pics??
Ive got a low-profile and a chest right now and still am tossed up which I like, on a lifted truck what do yall think? I kinda look at it this way you lose bed space both ways, but with the lo-pro you gain a bit under the box, with the chest you gain the clean lines of not seeing the toolbox. I just still dont know which I like. . .

I like the room the over the rail box I have offers. I am not crazy about the looks though. If I could find a decent price for the Delta steel version of the box Impact9 has I probably would have never gone with an over the rail, but instead gone with a pair of those saddle bag type...
I don't think it has to be REAL ugly. If the box matches the truck, it's less conspicuious. I don't think it adds beauty, but I would enjoy the functionality.
