Lets see those tool boxes!!

Alrite yall I got a new box for Christmas but it looks to plain jane for me. I wanna see what you guys have done with your tool boxes plain jane pics are welcomed too lets just see em!

 

Not much you can really do with a tool box. It just serves its purpose.

 

No "shots" of inside the "box" BUT that is where the "Details" are....
Nice Plain Jane till needed ...2 sliding trays with "stuff" and a few boxes containing fluids,grease gun & a BFH.....grace the bottom tier..

OP,Quick question, does you box have angled cuts on the bottom for more room ???? Your pix do not show it as decisively as mine....

 

you can paint it

 

I think I have the same toolbox as you OP. It was my black friday present to myself haha.

 

with a double cab short bed, you must have the angled box to fit over the fender wells

 

actually you would be surprised haddix, ive seen people mount rear facing lights on the lids and even flush mount within the box itself. ive also seen people build a dog box off of it theres alot you can do you just have to have the ingenuity to do it. I just wanna see some of the stuff people on TW have done with theirs because ive found people on here are very creative and have the ingenuity to make stuff happen so i was just curious

 

"with a double cab short bed, you must have the angled box to fit over the fender wells"

Mine is just an extra cab BUT yes it is the angled cut ,DEEP box....Not quite twice the room my shallow steel gull wing had and I do like the low-profile of this one....can see both inside corners of the tailgate area....

I thought about mounting an LED to the inside cover BUT I carry one in the cab with me anyhow and I "Moved" the fire extinguisher back inside the cab both for convenience plus the weather....

I mounted leds inside my box with power ran from my second fuse block. I have them on a switch mounted in the corner so they turn on when the lid is opened and off when closed. 2 and a half years later still bright as ever and not a single problem. Never had them accidentally stay on and drain the battery.

 

you should post some pics of that, sounds awesome

 

Rear faced lights soon to be replaced with a led lightbar, hilift mount and poor mans tire carrier.


Also plan to do the LEDs inside the lid.

 

Got mine in pieces off of craigslist for 35$, no keys, no brand, and the lid wasnt mounted to the box. Finding the right keys was the hardest part

 

as requested. btw excuse the stuff in the toolbox. I actually have added more stuff in there now.

heres the lights themselves.


Heres the switch.

 

I bought this one chrome and ended up painting it black to match the brush guard.

 

^same box I have, also painted mine black but with bedliner!

 

Ill probably end up doing that in the future.

 

Did mine in spray can bed liner along with the front light bar.

 

Post some pics I'd like to see it.

 

any ones have a chest box that fits inside the bed rails?, when i get the doe im going to get one of those from deezee
