You will enjoy how much the sleek look of UWS's Low Profile Series complements the latest designs of today's trucks. The toolbox sits just 2" above the truck bed rails instead of the standard 4," providing a better view out the back window for maneuvering or keeping an eye on your load. The insulated, beveled, single lid opens fully to 90 degrees with the help of two super-duty lift cylinders, which raise the lid and hold it open as you load and unload your gear. Smaller items and tools can be stored conveniently on the divided, sliding tray, ensuring they are readily available for use.

Hey, everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the UWS toolbox. This is going to be the angled crossover style, that's also low profile. And, we'll take a look at how it fits on a 2021 Jeep Gladiator. So, there's a bunch of different toolboxes of different shapes and sizes, for different situations, and they fit trucks differently too.
So, make sure to use the etrailer.com fit guide to get the right fit for your Jeep Gladiator. So, this one has an angle, which is perfect, because we have Putco Molle panels installed to the side of our Gladiator. So, we still have a clearance for those panels. We can use those tie down points, but we can also put down our toolbox. And speaking of clearances, there's also clearance underneath the toolbox.
So, we currently have a thick truck bed mat. It's about a half inch thick at its highest point. So, if you take that measurement, and then you look underneath here at the toolbox, we still have a clearance of 5 1/2 inches. If you're carrying around lumber, or smaller items that need that length, they can fit right underneath there. Moving up, this is a low profile toolbox.
So, from the top of our truck bed to the top of the box, it sits at 3 1/2 inches. That way, if you need to look through your rear view window, you're not losing any of that visibility. In fact, your seats take up more space than this toolbox does. And when you need to use your toolbox, you can see there's one, two handles. And, the lock is on the driver's side, but if you have it unlocked, you can actually open it up from the passenger's side.
It pops up real quick, but no worries, because there's clearance in the back. And if you have anything on the roof of your Gladiator, even with the lid up, we still have clearance. So if you have a roof rack up there, kayaks, lumber, things like that, there's no worries about accidentally hitting it. So, this has 6.6 cubic feet of space, but in terms of what you can actually fit in there, I'll give you some measurements. So, we have this smaller tote. We're able to fit it lengthwise. So, the maximum length of your tote, it can be up to 17 inches apart. Now for width, you do have an angle, but you do have 48 inches of length. So that's gonna be measured from one side to the other, but keep in mind that you do have this organizer here too. So it's really up to you how creatively can you organize your toolbox. You got your tools, your wrenches, your bolts. You can pop them right here into this sliding organizer, and make it easier for you to access them. So the latch here is operatable on both sides, and you can see how there's a little lever there. That goes to the other side to open or latch your box. But, then you also have this guard here in the center. That way, as you load this up with your tools, you're not getting close to that lever. You have gas struts there, making it easier for you to open up that lid. And that latch up top, that's actually adjustable. So, if you find that it's getting a little tricky for it to latch onto it, you can make those adjustments up or down as needed. Now this does have different color options. So, depending on the trim or the color of your Gladiator, you could even get the toolbox to match. We have our glassy black here, but you also have other options, like a bright aluminum or a matte black. All of them are gonna be made the same way though. It's just the finish that will be different. So, you have that aluminum box that makes it easy to lift, but also sturdy for your tools. In fact, let's take a look at how we got this box on here. So I do recommend getting a second person, just to help you line it up with your truck bed. And then, you're gonna pop it open and install it. You have two pieces of these adhesive foam protectors, and they just adhere the bottom of the toolbox to your truck bed. We're not gonna install them today, because we are going to reuse this toolbox, but this is exactly where you would put it. But, you're gonna use these J-hooks to secure it like a clamp to your truck bed. So bring it from underneath the toolbox, make sure that J-hook clamps around there, get that split washer, get that nut, and then that's just going to secure that clamp. Install the other side the exact same way. I use a half inch socket, and that is a deep well socket. That's gonna make it easier to tighten down. Super simple install process. Now you're ready to load up your toolbox and then hit the road. So, my personal thoughts about this toolbox is I really like how low profile it is, and it fits really well with the Gladiator. When we open up that lid, even if you had things on your roof, or maybe you had a ladder rack, you don't have to worry about it interfering with that. Plus with it folded down, I guess closed, you're not worrying about it interfering with your rear view too. So, with that angled design we we're still able to use our Putco Molle panels. Just, the major downside would be the space. So, depending on your tools, you do lose a little bit of that cargo space, because it's angled. So, there may be other tool toolboxes, UWS had some different designs too, that will fit your Jeep Gladiator. But hopefully, this video showed you those different dimensions, how it works on your vehicle, and if it's the right fit for you. And that right there was a look at our UWS Toolbox, that is angled and a low profile, right here on our 2021 Jeep Gladiator..

Love my toolbox!! I wouldn’t trade for anything. I was a little expensive but I needed it. Thanks a bunch
I've had bed box for almost a year now. So far so good. The finish looks as good as the day I installed the box, which by the way was a snap to install. I'm very happy with this product and glad I didn't go for one of the less expensive products like a few of my buddies did. Most of them have constant problems with their bed boxes. IE: hinges freezing up latch problems and most of all the finishes that aren't holding up.
Here is a picture of the tool box I ordered, installed on my truck.
Great service..quick delivery & exactly what I wanted for my new truck!
After 2 weeks I finally got my toolbox this is good for a 2001 Ford ranger stepside it doesn't say it would fit but I measured it before I bought it had one little ding in the corner but I touched it up with spray paint overall it's an excellent toolbox and it fit perfectly this is originally for a Chevy S10 but I measured it and it fits good I would recommend this to anyone who owns a Ford ranger stepside! Check out the pictures you can see how well it fits! It is hard to find a toolbox that fits a Ford ranger stepside I used to work in the Marine Corps parts department in the motor pool so I know how to measure parts at first they said this wouldn't fit my truck but I told them I measured it!
My UWS Crossover tool box fit great. Only minutes to install. Looks great and needed on my 05 Ford Ranger single cab.
great box much better than one from tractor supply and other places very solid construction you can feel the difference i like it
The tool box works great. Works for what we needed and is low profile.
I've had this tool box for about a year. Its held up well without issue. This replaced a 9 year old tool box from Lowes that cracked at the bed support. So far so good on this one. The locking and opening mechanism works great and is covered so things dont bind it up. The only strange thing is that after a windy snow storm there was snow inside the tool box and I hadn't driven anywhere.
I was so happy to get this for my son. The only one i could find that would fit his ranger at the time. he uses it every day and it works great after one year. packaging , no scratches, and installed so easy that i went and bought me one. would recommend. sorry not much for technology or i would have added photos.
When I purchased the toolbox I forgot to mention that I have a bed liner in my vehicle. Therefore I had to put a 3/4 inch spacer on the top bed rails so the bottom of the toolbox would clear the bed liner over the wheel wells and fuel tank spout. Other then that I really have enjoyed the toolbox and have gotten many compliments as well.
Been happy with my purchase. I gave it 4/5 stars because it arrived with a dent on the lid that I was able to remove with a rubber mallet and a 2x4. The metal inside reflects poor workmanship. There are some sharp edges near the latch mechanism that I discovered firsthand after reaching in there. Aside from those issues it has functioned well and I find the dual lid release latches are convenient.
Fast and friendly service.
Awesome package, looks great, fits perfect. Delivery time excellent
The truck box is a good looking truck box but that’s about all the good I can say about it. The striker for the latch continuously came loose causing the lid not to latch completely and the top to come open going down the road. I fixed this by putting loctite on the nuts holding the striker in place. The gaskets along the lid have completely turned loose and are no longer there. The keys never worked from the first day. Overall not very satisfied with the quality of the box for the price.
nice box looks like in was made for the truck, only thing the tray sliding back and forth but a piece of tape fix that, also light enough to get in and out by myself
I highly recommend etrailer for any trailer or truck parts. I have never worked with anyone that was as knowledgeable and helpful. The process was flawless. Further, after I made my order, they followed up and let me know several times how the order and shipment was progressing.
Top of the line service and product. Very happy with entire transaction. One year later box still looks and performs like new. Thanks
Box fit great. Installed in minutes with no drilling holes in truck.The black finish matched truck perfectly.I like the lid that raises automatic but stops before hitting the cab of the truck.
Toolbox came as advertised. Perfect fit in truck bed. Sturdy and well built. Easy to install. Exactly what I was expecting
Good looking toolbox. Sturdy and good quality.

Everything fit as advertised . This is a good heavy duty well built product.
