i think the tan color that is on the king ranch rails would look awesome on a toolbox, it would blend in with the tan rails and the bottom of the truck.
has anybody ever seen that?

Well I ended up getting a low profile UWS black over-the-rail box (TBS-69-LP Blk). I don't have it Line-X X-Tra'd yet but I'm not so sure I'm going to at all. It looks ok as is.
Does my truck look better with the box?...No. But it doesn't really detract any either in my opinion. I have a wedge type black box (also a UWS) in the truck that my wife drives. To be honest I don't know which one I like the best. Mine is more convenient to get in to but my wife's is all but hidden until you get up close to the truck.
All in all I'm glad I put a toolbox in both of them.
So there, I said it. I have a toolbox and I like it. Does this mean I'm getting old?

I went with a low profile because they look good, and VERY functional.
I as well use mine almost every day, and seeing that my truck is a single cab, it helps me store everything in there and not in the cab.

They are ugly (most of them). It's your truck though and there are plenty of worse things you could do.

From what I have seen, even the low profile over the rail boxes block a little of the rear window. That is what makes toolboxes ugly. I think that a chest looks much better...without the wings hanging over the rails. I just can't bring myself to drill holes in my bed, or I would have one.
