  • How To Charge Batteries To Run Aux Circuits in Truck Tool Box without Discharging Truck Battery
  • On the output post of your dual alternators you will need to run a thick gauge wire from there to the positive post of the batteries you plan on installing in the tool box of your truck. This will put a decent charge on those batteries while you are driving. To prevent the batteries from discharging your truck batteries you will also need to install the # PK5231201 isolator on this charge line. This will prevent the circuit from the battery of your truck to the battery in your tool box...

  • Which Tonneau Cover Should be Used on 2012 Ford Super Duty Long Bed with Tool Box in Bed
  • For your 2012 Ford F-Series Super Duty with a long bed we have a tonneau cover that is specifically designed for fitting behind a tool box with the Access Toolbox Edition Cover part # 834532008460 which will fit and work well as long as your tool box width is between 19 and 21 inches in width. The Truxedo you referenced only fits the short bed versions of your truck so I can not recommend it for your long bed truck.

  • Truck Bed Tool Box for the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover 2017 GMC Sierra 1500
  • I do have a truck bed tool box designed to work with the BAKFlip MX4 Hard Tonneau Cover part # BAK48120 for your 2017 GMC Sierra 1500 but the TruXedo TonneauMate Truck Bed Toolbox part # TX1117416 will not work as it is only designed to be used with TruXedo tonneau covers not BAKFlip tonneau covers.

  • Is There Mounting Hardware Available for the UWS Truck Bed Chest Wedge UWS01048
  • The UWS Tool Box # UWS01048 does not have any fasterners or mounting hardware included or recommended for use by the manufacturer, and will typically just sit in place. The box just slides into place, but if you wanted you could source your own mounting hardware locally; this would require some drilling into the truck bed, and/or box, but it could be done. Your best bet might just be to add some L shaped brackets to the truck bed to keep it from sliding around.

  • Should B&W Companion 5th Wheel Hitch be Cut to Install with Tool Box in 2019 GMC Sierra 2500
  • To be blunt you should definitely not alter the installation in any way of the Turnoverball Install Rails # BWGNRK1016-5W or the B&W Companion # BWRVK3400-5W, or the Companion # BWRVK3770 if you have the OEM pucks in your 2019 GMC Sierra 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed. There may be one option for you since you mentioned 18 inches wide and that is the UWS Truck Bed Toolbox - 5th Wheel Series Chest # UWS01042 (Bright Aluminum) or # UWS01066 (Gloss Black). This box measures 58" long x 18" wide...

  • Is There A Mounting Hardware Kit For UWS Truck Bed Tool Chests
  • The UWS Truck Bed Chest # UWS01047 doesn't come with any mounting hardware and doesn't actually have any holes predrilled into it for mounting so it would be a custom job to mount it. That being said you could just drill through the bottom of the box and through the bed of your truck and use some larger washers and bolts to mount it, like you stated. I do recommend using some gasket maker # LT37467 over the bolts so you don't run the risk of water getting inside of your tool box though.

  • B&W Companion Hitch to Fit 2009 Chevrolet 2500 HD with 6-1/2 Foot Bed and Tool Box
  • The B&W Companion # BWRVK3500 is a fixed hitch and for your 2009 Chevrolet 2500 with a 6-1/2 foot bed you're going to need a sliding hitch to have enough turning clearance. The sliding Companion is # BWRVK3400-5W which will give you an 12 inches of travel to help you make sharp turns. To determine if this will be enough for you to make sharp turns you can do a little math.

  • The fender well toolboxes like # UWS01624 is typically mounted to the floor of the truck bed by drilling through the bottom of the box and into the floor of the truck bed.

  • Will DeeZee Wheel Well Toolbox # DZ95D Fit 2012 Ford F-350 Super Crew Long Bed Carrying 4x8 Plywood
  • After doing some research, I have found that 2 DeeZee Wheel Well Toolboxes # DZ95D will fit in the bed of your 2012 Ford F-350 Super Crew Long Bed with enough room for 4 foot by 8 foot sheets of plywood with room to spare. The bed width of your truck is 79.9 inches and each toolbox has a width of 8.5 inches for a combined width of 17 inches, so with both toolboxes and the sheets of plywood, you should have approximately 14.9 inches of space remaining in your truck bed.

  • Can The ECU Module on the Firestone Air Command F3 Be Mounted in a Metal Tool Box?
  • I spoke with my contact over at Firestone Industrial and the ECU module of the Air Command F3 Compressor System # F2581 and because the signal that the Air Command F3 could potentially be obstructed and/or weakened by placing it inside of a metal toolbox, this is not the recommended application and likely won't function correctly. They recommend that the ECU module is installed along the vehicle frame since it is designed to stand up to moisture, road chemicals, salt spray, and extreme...

  • How Secure is Attachment Method of DeeZee Red Label Chest-Style Toolbox # DZ8556
  • A chest type toolbox like the # DZ8556 would be attached to the truck bed using the included sheet metal screws through the bottom of the box into the truck bed itself. Be sure to take care when drilling the holes so as not to damage the fuel tank, brake lines or any other components that might be located under the truck bed. If you wish, you can use bolts instead of the sheet metal screws for added security.

  • The toolbox in your 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 will not interfere with the handle of the Husky Silver Series 26K Fifth Wheel Hitch, # HT31318-31325.
