Truck bed storage box

Has anyone purchased one of these?? The part about drilling into the truck bed has some concern for me

They’re just going to cover up the existing bed storage. You can get a couple $25 ammo cans for on top of the wheel wells.

 

I looked into these and others as well. Prefer metal over plastic.

Noticed that these swing-out boxes don't play well with bed stiffeners.

Note: I'd steer away from any product in this vein that had a video featuring a mom toting a baby ... JMHO.

 

i'm looking into these but concerned I wont be able to lock my trifold cover

 

I have them on the truck I just bought, the fiberglass tonneau locks fine with them.

 

I've had a pair of them since I got my truck. Awesome extra storage. Easily removed if you need the space.

 

This will not be cheap I am sure but I would (I am thinking about it) look into them. I believe they come out next month.

No drilling required

Yaaaa, those are not only going to be NOT cheap.... but they are not going to be affordable... haaa

 

You are probably correct. It is pelican after all.

 

do you have a pic showing how close they are to the side of the bed? the locks on my tricover hang down

 

I have just shy of 3” clearancefrom the carpet underside of the cover to the boxes, but my locking mechanism doesn’t go over the boxes directly. It would clear if it did. The boxes are set in a bit.

 

Would it be possible to extend the mounting out about 1/2"? That's probably what I would need to clear the cover locks

 

I took a look at the swing outs; $199. Pelican was $249. Not sure which has more storage though. I’ll admit, I kinda like the swing out feature and quick release.

 

I would think you could fabricate a simple 1/2” plastic spacer on the mounting location

 

For a Pelican I was expecting a higher price

 

The Pelican cases are a bit more versatile. Their mount/release isn’t quite as slick, but you can stack them at the campsite and use the for seats I suppose.

I’ve bought large Pelican cases in the past. Sort of like Yeti. Stupid expensive but good stuff.

 

Anyone try these?

The stack-n-lock feature is pretty cool.
