Bed mounted tool box

I'm not a fan of the taper either, i don't know the exact measurement, I'll have to go and look at it. The fullsize box says its 70" wide, and this one is supposed to fit for rangers and trucks that size, so I assume its the correct with for an MJ.

I had picked up a toolbox at autozone back when I had my '91. It had no over the rail sides, so it fit all the way down to the bottom, and was a VERY tight fit. Looked great, made by the autozone brand duralast.

 

I don't know if I have any good pics... here's what I can find:

 

I'll see if I can dig up another...

I really liked the look of it. The latching system and key was a little goofy, but it fit GREAT, went all the way down to the bed floor, and filled up the whole front. Very good box, with great use of all room. The front lip even sat flush with the front of the bed, and the top of the lid was at level height with the back window.

 

Like it was made for an MJ. I am almost positive that autozone most likely still carries this... and its probably right in the same price range.

Thanks for the links, those were a little more than I was wanting to spend though. Thats the main reason for looking at the one at Lowes, the price is right. I'm mostly undecided since I have a tonneau cover on it now, not sure which one I would rather have. I like having stuff in the bed and nobody knowing its there. I'd probably end up making a locking spare tire mount for the bed if I went with the box.

sorry about that, i just called lowes and had the guy on the phone with the tape measure....it will fit perfect

the top where it sits on the bed is 60", which is a perfect fit

the only thing is that it tapers down to 32" at the bottom

and it is 12" wide

 

i think I'm putting my tundra cover on instead.!!!

 

sorry for the confusion :rant:

Thanks for checking into the dimension for me. I was about to grab my phone and go call the store actually. The 12" deep part is a little tight. I have the long bed, so I'd be able to go a bit wider than that and still have decent bed space. Maybe tomorrow I'll head to the store and check it out in person. I'd like there to be a little space under it if possible too, that way I can still slide lumber under it and get the full length of the bed for it.

They have their SUV boxes on sale too actually. I went tonight and picked one up. It fits good one the width, the lower body of the box could probably be about 6" wider and still fit between the rails though. There is some room underneath it too.

 

The sides aren't tapered in like mentioned above, its completely squared off in the corners.

 

I'll snap a few pics in the daylight tomorrow once I secure it to the bed. Either way, it was worth it for $83 out the door. jamminz.gif

The box sits about 5" above the rail and there is about 6" of clearance between the bottom of the box and the bed. The only thing I noticed so far is my 19" plastic tool box doesn't past the opening because of the linkage for the latches. Once its past that, it would fit just fine.

 

 

And here is my little helper..
