Thomas, build yourself a bed cage. get some tubing, weld on some massive washers then use square tube (I used 1.25" x 14ga) and weld sections between the bed bolts. then weld on some 2" angle iron and bolt it onto the toolbox. super easy and can be done in a weekend. Havnt had any leaking into the toolbox or any issues besides a little rust on the cage due to putting stuff in the bed like bricks that scratch the paint, but nothing that cant be touched up with a little paint...its black and I have a spray in bed liner...its a truck after all.

You do not have to use all the bed bolts, I did so I had more inbed tiedowns and I plan to make removable tire carriers/ extra storage for when I take my jeep off roading.

Completly removable using factory hardware
can add on just about anything from high-lift jacks to jerry cans to extra tiedowns on your bedcage
custom build to your toolbox so you can get the toolbox of your dreams
can be made to have locks to hold it in in case you need to remove it for hauling larger items.....


I love mine

Uhh jarrett. Thatd be nice and all but not all of us are engineers and have welding skills and materials.

I think ill just drill holes and use the bed bolts lol maybe seal it with some rubber washers or something.

$15 at the parts store and 2 min install. It never goes anywhere lol the plan was to cut the excess cable off and recap it but you can't cut the stuff, even with bolt cutters. It just mashes down.
