Mounting options?

I am looking into getting a tool chest for my screw, http://www.tractorsupply.com/vehicle...ck-box-1091834

The thing is that I do not want to drill into the bed then into the frame because I may want to take it out if I need to use the full bed length. What are my mounting choices besides the drilling into the bed?

Thanks all

I used to have one almost just like that, it was made by CDI. I was in the same boat as you, I liked to load my four wheeler and shut the tailgate (this was in my 03). I ended up never securing it at all, the fenders kept it trapped.

I know that was not a good idea, as it could have been stolen at anytime. Unless there are some options already out there, you may have to result to some fabrication work to come up with a solution that allows it to be easily removed. If I stumble across something I will be sure to let you know. Good luck.

yea, the ones that just sit on the bed usually wont move around too much.... however if you floor it often, u might want to look into tieing it down to the bed

I had the same problem with my toolbox. It stayed in place pretty well with the fenders, but I put two screws in the back of it to attach it to the bed. If I ever take it out I don't think they will be very noticeable. I just didn't like the fact that my toolbox was sitting there not attached someway.

TSC $250. I actually bought a $150 TSC gift card for $125 off eBay so I saved a bit of money, and I had a $10 coupon.
