Best truck bed toolboxes according to redditors

Get yourself a prop dominator or a toolbox as your prop. That's #1 in helping your cosplay be more than just a suit if you plan on being an Enforcer/Inspector.

If you're looking for more - ie, you're considering S1 Ginoza - you could make your own MWPSB field jacket. There's a great tutorial I followed to make the one I use for my Akane cosplay! You could also make yourself a badge or ID for the character you're cosplaying to use as a prop as well. Characters like Kagari and Makishima are easier to recognize because of their outfits and hair color, rather than just Kogami and Ginoza who can appear rather normal looking in their outfits.

Personally, were I to cosplay a male character from Psycho-Pass, I'd probably pick between Kagari and Ginoza, though I'd love to do some version of Kogami. I just don't think I could pull off Ko very well!

Hope this helped, and hope you have a fantastic time at DragonCon!

I'd guess your right. This one comes with... locking lid, a lift-out tool tray, two removable drawers, screw driver storage slots, and has non-slip soft liners. The Trail Can also features heavy duty 14-gauge steel construction and a red powder coated finish for durability.


This one is $60 - https://www.amazon.com/Rampage-86622-Trail-Can-Storage/dp/B009A33R4E/ref=pd_sbs_263_3

I am buying a Diesel Heater for my regular gas Ford E150. Where/ how should I go about mounting the fuel tank?

So I can see that the tank is built to be mounted under the van. But if I did that, I am not sure how to go about refilling it easily. My other thought was to buy a metal tool box like this, and then attach the tank to the inside and the box itself to my back door. My only issue with that is I don't like that the gas line would move around when the door opened and closed, so it might wear out earlier than normal.

Am I overthinking this? What have you folks done with yours, if you are in the same situation?

here is something like that for a tacoma

or like a truck box https://www.amazon.com/Roadstar-Aluminum-Underbody-Trailer-Storage/dp/B074N3H47X/

Worst case scenario fire size would be like this basically https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xNmLLyKl14

Its hard to tell how high the flames actually went because the camera gets overexposed during those couple frames. but its not big for very long. Their floor looks nonflammable, so if it was wood it might have some burn marks, or carpet would be bad. Burn marks on the wall if it was closer. If they had lots of flammabe stuff around it, yeah it could lead to a house fire, so that's most of the prevention that should be done. worst case would be the house is on fire before anyone even notices.

The smoke instantly fills the room and I don't think there's anything anyone can realistically do about that. They'll probably have to repaint the walls and ceiling. Maybe throw out some furniture if the smell doesn't go away. so that's about the best case scenario for an indoor full pack fire.

I believe this is the one I got:

UnderCover SwingCase Truck Storage Box | SC103P | fits 2015-2019 Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon Passenger Side https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ITPEZIG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_T47oDbTBJW7RS

The arm seems nice and heavy, everything locks up and is easy to take the box off of you need to just leaving the arm which doesn't take much room at all.

This is for a ford, but might be worth looking into.

Edit:


Here's the dodge version:

Now that we know its purpose, have you looked at trailer tongue boxes? Lots of different sizes available, and plastic ones are quite cheap.

This one seems closer to your size requirements.

I ended up bolting one of these kinds of underbody truck storage units to my frame and cutting an opening in that metal skirt to access the door. Fairly easy and turned out pretty nice.

My inspiration came from this video.

Or any of the othe numerous waterproof, lockable, not made from warped wood boxes, made for trucks, that are on amazon.

Using the new 2019 configurator on the ramtrucks website, you cannot select the Ram Box option with a 6'4" bed, it's only available on the 5'7" bed. That's the setup I use and if I have to go aftermarket for bed storage, then I'm not tied to Ram anymore and I'm going to look hard at the new Chevy.

I'm curious if the wedge shape would allow some use for the box link system while still having a tool box.

And this one just more expensive

I don't need much but I'd rather not end up having a dirty ass tow rope and jumper cables inside the cab etc. But My truck is mostly black so I really don't want raw aluminum.

Edit: Nevermind first one it's not really wide enough.

They are not going to affect performance unless you fill it with lead lol. To install u just have to drill 2 holes in the rail of the bed. They bolt right in so it wouldn't be hard to take out before off-roading. Here's one u might like:

I've discussed this elsewhere, but utility is a very smart play for any electric design. The main drawback to electric right now is range anxiety, price and range itself. If you have a battery that scales down to 50 miles a charge it would be fine for a farm truck. As this and the Teslas demonstrate the "frunk" is actually a huge opportunity. A storage solution
that allows you to use your full bed without having to remove your small day-to-day tools.

Having something like this from Isuzu, Suzuki, or hell John Deer would be an excellent move into a solid niche market.

seems amazon is best price.

The full-bed nets kind of suck if you dont have a full load of crap in there. They're great at keeping stuff in place when its already packed, but for a few items it doesnt help too much. I've found a cargo bar to be more useful, and you can get bag/net accessories for them too.

If you have bed rails, I'd look for something that mounts off them instead. Or put D-rings behind all the rail bolts for more bungee hooks.

> My big question right now is antenna mounting. Even if I wasn't driving an aluminum truck, I wouldn't want a mag-mount scratching my roof to shit. I also would prefer not to drill a hole in my roof. What are my options for mounting? What's going to get me the best performance? Without the roof as a ground plane, am I totally handicapping my antenna?

Can you get coax from the cab to the bed somehow? You could put something like this ratchetting tension bar in the bed, then an NMO mirror mount and a Comet SBB-5NMO

I own that specific tension bar, the outer sleeve does rotate freely so you will have to take that into account somehow.

I use 2 of these. Not exactly these but a cheaper version
