so when i get rid of my cover im going to get a toolbox im not sure what brand to buy tho, weathergaurd is prob going to b out of my price range so its kind of a toss up between huskey(home depot), kobalt(lowes) or tractor suplies brand of box. what do you guys use and what do u like or dislike about them

 

Thats funny, I'm doing the opposite of you. I'm getting rid of my tool box and getting a Tonneau Undercover. I have a Delta Pro toolbox that is great. Locks are sturdy, water tight, looks good, holds a good amount, and its light in case you need to remove it. It looks like this

I've seen it online for about $350+, but my brother in law works for Grainger and he was able to get it for me for about $280.

 

You will be unhappy with any of those. I have had Husky and Tractor Supply and they wore out quickly. One of them (can't remember which one) stopped working after about a month. I would check craigs list and ebay until a better brand pops up for a good price. I bought a RKI toolbox for $230 off ebay a few months ago and it works great.

 

I ordered the WEATHERGUARD 116-5-01 from this site:

WEATHERGUARD 116-5-01

 

I got a black uws low profile toolbox from a local place for 239.00 I though this ws a great deal

 

Top of the line: Weatherguard and RKI.
Good bang for your buck: UWS

 

Has anyone here had a truck toolbox sprayed with a spray-on bedliner? If so, how did it look and how much did it cost?

 

i did it to mine, pics in my gallery. its nice cause its much more durable than paint and has a nice very slight gloss look to it. not as much texture as a spray or roll in but i like it better that way.

 

Cool, thanks! That looks good. You got a heck of a deal at $70. My friend is giving me a hard time about buying a steel truckbox instead of aluminum. I told him that if it rusts (even though it is powder coated) that I would have it sprayed by Line-X or Rhino-Liner or Spray Liner.

 

thanks for the compliments. yeah i got it off craigslist. its not a name brand or teribly heavy construction but i dont need a real fancy one. besides i think the coating strengthened it anyways

 

I've got the Kobalt (lowes) box on my 04 SCREW and I think it is a pretty decent box for the money. I do like the UWS and weatherguard but I can spend more money on other things.

 

Anyone have any experience with the Delta Champion toolboxes? I bought one off craigslist that looks exactly like the low-profile UWS box I originally wanted.

Here's a link to the site: http://www.deltastorage.com/delta_champion.html

 

Looks like a good box! Nice find!

 

Thanks... as soon as I get it from my folks' house in Shreveport I'll start filling it with junk that I'll probably never use.

 

I have a Kolbalt (aka Better Built) box on my truck I like it because it isn't a full size tool box and only cost 148 out the door. The only thing I dislike is that it isnt black
