You’ve seen mine, held up great but will eventually replace it with an aluminum version that isn’t as tall.

I used this SmittyBilt Box for our Baja trip. Worked great. Jeff used one in his also, and I think it worked out well for him. They are light (made from aluminum), lockable and don't cost a fortune. And they leave room for other stuff. I mounted mine more toward the seats so I could have boxes accessible via the liftgate. Jeff put his close to the tailgate. Just personal preference. |

Thanks for the pics Scott I'm assuming those are lashing rings on the top of the box. |

It seems they make a number of these boxes. Any chance you could provide a part number? |

I really like my smittybuilt box and it worked great for the Baja trip. Now I am just trying to decide if I leave it in or put the seat back in so the kids can ride with me and bang their heads on the roll cage. |

Here is mine. It has been a great addition. Allows me to have all my camping gear loaded and if I need a tool I don't have to unload the whole truck. I made it 36" long 11" tall and 39" wide. Cost was cheap to build. 24" drawer slides. |

That looks great is that lock track on the top. |

Yes it is a rail kit on top to strap down coolers and stuff. https://www.discountramps.com/tie_down_rails/p/TRAK8/ |

I did one drawer because frankly I don’t have the skills or equipment to make precise cuts and knew one drawer was easier if things weren’t quite square. I bought heavy duty 500lb locking slides to compensate for the weight. Sure enough my setup is a little “off” but I got it to work. Lol. My do over will be to cut it down to the height of the wheel wells like yours. Although I do like the fact I can store oil and other fluids upright. Maybe one day I will build an aluminum version but we will see. For now it stores allot of stuff. |

I designed it for 2 slides on each side. I only added one right now. Oh thing I would change is possibly shorten it in length. I'd like my small cooler to be able to sit on the floor in front of the box. |

I’ve decided now that the Baja trip is done, I’m going to put my rear seat back in and am selling my box if anyone is interested. $225. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
