For the top lid , just change the sides and rotate the main hinge and install the box on opposite side and the lid will open the other way that’s what I did for my truck.but for that you will need both sides left and right, they will rotate , and I think you could just rotate the lid , I did it the hard way.
If you want to reduce the number of keys you carry. Look into the lock company called BOLT Locks online you can order, hitch locks, padlocks, cable locks and many more that are keyed to Your truck ignition key
Maybe for your case if you had a right side bolted onto the left side it could open tho opposite direction. But that would complicate things when swun out and I'm not sure how the latch on bottom would work if it would.
Very cool. I’ll probably get one for my ranger. Do you not worry about water getting trapped under your bed liner and causing rust from where you cut out that hole?
Thanks for mentioning two do not swing open at the same time. Wasn't aware of that. Think I'm still going to go for two. Only issue I see is they block the front tiedowns but seems easy enough to remove.
I don't recall because the screws were included with the box, which was nice. It's held up great. I keep a tow chain and a bunch if ratchet and bungee straps in there. Probably my favorite accessory.
They should design it to have left and right swing open and use as table and lock together. Or design it to run along the wheel well and swing open to width of bed
I'd like to have one myself but I just think they are waaaay too pricey for the little bit of plastic that they are. Had one for a Silverado about nineteen years ago but it didn't swing out...and it was less than a hundred dollars...and I could decide how I wanted the lid to swing.
I know someone who bought one and someone put a prybar by the lock and pushed the plastic in and opened it up and took all his goodies from it, now he has steel 📦 boxes.......
I saw one of these at the local truck supply store. I love the concept and the plastic construction doesn’t bother me. But it is overpriced for the size. If it was two for $200, I would consider it. But it is tiny.
The point of the size and design is to fits behind the wheel well, not extend into the bed to regain cargo capacity and height is below the bed side so if a person (like myself) has a tonneau or hard bed cover fits. Moving on...
I still stack 4' sheets with the box in. If I'm going super-high I still take it out just so I have a place for my hand when grabbing to remove, but it will fit.
I wash my truck every couple weeks and they stay pretty clean. The drink holder holes are open contoured, so they don't hold water. There is a long trough closer to the edge of the truck bed that does hold water, but if you open the lid it just dumps out (and importantly, NOT into the toolbox itself.) I've been really happy with this thing still. It hasn't broken, is easy to remove when I want to, and holds my hitch, a handful of ratchet straps, and a tow strap. I'd buy it again. People below have commented that it's "plastic" or "cheap" or yada yada. To that, I say, yeah, it is, and it was pretty inexpensive and works well. It's not a contractor piece of equipment, but man it's handy.
Looks like itll fit in the bed but it covers a tie down point. You arnt securing down the rear end. Guess if you have a big enough bed it wont be so bad but still should tie the rear end down. You can take it on and off i guess but that defeats the whole thing now your storing that thing somewhere which will probably be a bit heavy full
I bet. I have since traded this truck for a 2019 F250 and I bought another one. People gripe that its plastic or not big enough, etc, etc. Respectfully, I think they're missing the point of the box and the price. For a couple hundred bucks I get to keep my straps and hitch receiver dry and out of my cab. It's a great product. No, it's not steel and it's not large enough to hold any decent sized tool box. It also doesn't fly, make omelets, or cure cancer, but then again I didn't expect it to when I bought it. 🤷♂️
It would have to be a small one. I honestly would not recommend it for something like that. I just traded in the truck in this video about 2 weeks ago and got a new truck and immediately ordered the exact same tool Box from these guys again so it's not that I don't like it. I love this thing. But I really only use it to hold my hitch ball and straps and a chain. It's perfect for that.
What size of padlock are you using I wasted $20 on a Bolt lock thinking it would work but it wouldn’t? Wanted to order something off of Amazon but don’t want to order the wrong one again.
It's just a medium keyed masterlock. To be honest, I rarely use it. The tailgate on my Ram locks with the doors, so you can't undo the swing. If you can't swing it out, you can't lift it off the hinge (and as such don't need the lock).
I don't see why it would not last in Arizona. Every car and truck sold in the U.S. has plastic on both the interior and exterior. I guess everyone in Arizona should buy a M1 Abrams.
You keep saying you dont lose bed space, but you literally do.. as well as not being able to swing and open it if you have anything literally in the back half..
@@erickmorales5821 not that much, just some hand tools and quick access items like saw blades, staples, etc. Well under what they recommend. Great idea, but the hardware is trash.
I'm glad you made this video. The instructions tell me to cut a huge section from my bed liner. Now I know it's not necessary. Thanks.
I was looking at one, but wasnt sure if it would work with a drop in liner. Now i know and will buy one soon.
I have one but haven’t installed it yet. Not looking forward to cutting my Bedliner type thing out but I’m excited.
Thanks for the video. Good information

I'm getting a tacoma soon
And I'm definitely getting one for each side

Looks like if you opened one all the way where it swings past the tailgate then you could open the other one. 🤷🏻
I'm guessing this will work even if you have a hardball camper top?
Is there a design that would allow for the use of the bed-lights and tie downs?
That is awesome, what dimensions of self tappers did you use?
I don't recall because the screws were included with the box, which was nice. It's held up great. I keep a tow chain and a bunch if ratchet and bungee straps in there. Probably my favorite accessory.
I like the idea, but it’s a no go on my new truck. I was hoping on a no drill installation, bolting into factory holes/tie down locations
Just wondering how it has held up since your installation 4 yr ago.
Think this would work with a bed extender as well?
They should design it to have left and right swing open and use as table and lock together. Or design it to run along the wheel well and swing open to width of bed
Did it cover straps hook? Can you use straps on rear hooks if you have this box?
Did you have to drill into the frame first?
I'd like to have one myself but I just think they are waaaay too pricey for the little bit of plastic that they are. Had one for a Silverado about nineteen years ago but it didn't swing out...and it was less than a hundred dollars...and I could decide how I wanted the lid to swing.
I think that belongs to the other side to the top opens without swinging it.

Does this protrude into the bed further than the wheel well? Curious If I can still stack sheets of plywood in the bed.
I still stack 4' sheets with the box in. If I'm going super-high I still take it out just so I have a place for my hand when grabbing to remove, but it will fit.
Derrick Dilts thanks
That thing is as cool as a three ball Tom cat.
This boxes are safe ?
Does water sit in those lid pockets and collecting dirt,

You have to scarify the back interior lights though.
I wasn’t expecting it to swing lol
Can you load an atv with this box installed?

Kind of hard to find one for a 2019 sierra with multi tailgate

@@derrickdilts8385 yea man I have speakers under my rear seats so thr purpose for me is to store my jack and tie down straps.
I wonder if this would work for an F150 2013 pick up
Yes
Works on any pickup
Can you fit a tool box in it?

It's plastic won't last long in Arizona heat

Get a tonneau cover
If they were metal, they would be worth it
Kinda of like a Rambox lol
You keep saying you dont lose bed space, but you literally do.. as well as not being able to swing and open it if you have anything literally in the back half..
I guess these are a Poor Mans Ram Box !
You had me until you said “self tappers”. No friggin way!!
Not worth $200.00
You cant even use the tie down now it blocks it. And removing it just defeats the whole purpose now you have to store your storage product😂
That’s my concern. I’d buy this but I need the use of the tie down for my kayak.
He has a bed light too towards the rear of the bed. It's also blocked by the tool box when it's locked in position.
Drilling holes in new truck what about resale next owner may not want it then you got holes left behind and a cut liner. And it’s plastic.
It's a truck. Thanks for watching.
Ric777888 holes that small could be patched up with welding and sanded down smooth and repainted and either get a new lay in Bedliner or spray on one
How often do you change trucks
buy a truck that wont rust!
It’s plastic
These tool boxes are junk, mine both broke in 6 months. Might be ok if you don't actually use them for tools and always drive on pavement.
How much weight did you put on it?
daang for $180 a piece?
@@erickmorales5821 not that much, just some hand tools and quick access items like saw blades, staples, etc. Well under what they recommend. Great idea, but the hardware is trash.
Made of plastic & over priced $60-75 maybe
I agree with you 100% There is not 180.00 dollars worth of plastic there. And looks like it would be to easy to steal?
Hard get at from side handy swing out sucks if you have load in bed no room swing out truck owner gimmick not truck user
you praddle on to much
You leave unsolicited negative feedback about things that cost you nothing too much; I guess we all have our flaws.
Than don't watch the video 🤫
