Anything to keep them from rolling around? They aren't exactly attached to anything right?

Just the fact that the feet stick down in the mat keep them in place most of the time, but do roll still around every now and then. I've been trying to think of a good way to keep them attached to the side and they still come out easily, but haven't found it yet. I was thinking maybe magnets, can't go wrong with magnets.

What about using a couple pieces of wood for spacers?
Securing the spacers with drywall screws, from inside the box.
Then use that new '3M Velcro' that has that crazy holding strength to adhere to the backside of your tool box spacer, to the bedsides of the truck.. Better yet..Velcro the spacers, instead of screwing them to your tool boxes.
That new Velcro is so strong, probably only need one spacer.

I tried the velcro, and it worked a little too well. It would hold the boxes to the side of the bed, but when you pull it off it started shredding the BedRug. It would work if you didn't want to move them very often, but I didn't want to have bare spots on the BedRug. I bought a pack of large rare earth magnets for $6 on amazon. I'm going to put one behind the rug and one on the back of the toolbox and see how that works.
