just picked up another toy... deflecta shield low pro diamond plate tool box in black powdercoat. has anyone ever tried any of those "No drill" kits to mount the box in the bed. i almost bought this one with the box but wasn't sure how it would work

anyone ever try anyhting like this before???

 

Yeah, it's a J-hook. You'll still have to drill the toolbox, but noy the bedrail. I have the same black powdercoat low profile challenger series box, I found that that kit the hooks are too wide...not enough clearance between bedrail and outside of box...had to find 2 smaller hooks at hardware store, but they hold fine. I prolly have 200 pounds of pipe threading/grooving tools in there and it hasn't shifted once.

*edit* I just saw in the link it says no drilling, will not void manufacturers warranty. I think it means no drilling the truck bedrail, but not the tool box. And it also says requires 5/8" clearance on both sides, and with that box I don't think I got 5/8", I got maybe, maybe 3/8"

 

Ive got a no drill toolbox mount that just clamps to the bed then you just bolt into it. I love it. I definitly didnt want to drill into the truck. My dad got em for me. Not sure where though. I know Wally World has em. Or at least mine does.

 

i know no matter what mount you go with you will need to drill on the box side of it, which doesn't bother me it's drilling on the truck side that i didn't want to do. yeah i wasn't sure it would have the 5/8 clearance either that's why i didn't pick them up. i got to get the box in the back of the truck today and take a look for sure

 

My box actually came with 4 long holes on both sides. I didnt have to do any drilling.

 

i got these, theyve been on about 3 months now and no problems at all

I have pretty much the same ones you have. I had them on for about a year and a half. No problems.
