Default Mounting options?

I am looking into getting a tool chest for my screw, http://www.tractorsupply.com/vehicle...ck-box-1091834

The thing is that I do not want to drill into the bed then into the frame because I may want to take it out if I need to use the full bed length. What are my mounting choices besides the drilling into the bed?

Thanks all

Even the tool chests that don't sit on top of the bed rails? I am looking at one that doesn't sit on the bed rails but goes in between them. If the j hooks can still work for these too woohoo.

oh the chest that doesnt sit on the bed rails...., you might could use the j hooks and mount it to the part of the bed right behind the back glass of the cab, most people just put stuff in it and weigh it down like tools and its too heavy to move, hmm do you have a bed liner??

Use a friction bar. the friction bar adjusts and pushes against the sides of the bed. you end up pushing the tool chest against the back of the bed and put the friction bar infront of it, use one in my truck. works great. good luck!

I will take a look into that, but the chest I was looking at may not sit well with the drop in bed liner. So I am still looking and figuring.
