Default Bak Industries "BakBox"

I've been slowly accessorizing my brand new 2018 XTL Sport SuperCap. I have the Bak MX4 cover. Today I saw online an accessories box that mounts all the way up under the rear window. Seems like a great place to store bungee cords, ratchet straps, rope, etc... Does anyone have one? Likes, dislikes? The only hesitation I have about it is, I often transport my quad, and I'm not sure I'd be able to close the tailgate because I wouldn't be able to get the quad all the way forward. Is the box easy to remove? Thanks guys. Also, if you have one, post up some pictures!

I have revolver X2 and the Bak box 2.0 in my truck. The box does not sit right at the back, mine sits about 6 to 8 inches from the back to be able to access it with revolver rolled up.
I store bungee cords, spare wiper blades etc.
Its ok, but I would not buy it again. Very limited to what can fit in it. Box is not deep enough to hold a bottle of washer fluid, etc. Side brackets take up room when box not being used. Sorry no pictures of it in my truck.
I have a few collapsible crates that I use and have more value out of them.
I am going to take mine Bak box out and sell it.

I bought an MX4 at the beginning of June and they ran a promo to get a free Bakbox2 when you buy a MX4 cover. So, I mailed off the redemption form so I should be getting my free one in a few weeks.

I have the X4 revolver with the Bak Box 2. I really like it. It’s not truly flush with the back of the bed. It about 4-6 inches from the end of it. But I have no complaints. I use it to store common truck stuff, tool bag, ropes, ratchets set etc. And when you don’t need it down it can fold up and provide extra space. Really cool idea.

Default BakBox

I have roll cover and BakBox. I like the cover, but do not like the box. With it in use, you lose around 12" of bed space. Sheetrock would certainly slide underneath, for full length of bed. I can get a max of (3) 2x4 to fit in my bed totally diagonal. The limit is the vertical space under that BakBox. If I fold up (close) the BakBox, I get back maybe 6" of bed space as the outer and shelf sections will fold onto the back section. What I find incredibly disappointing is the garbage design for mounting to truck. You would have to shop a long time to find crappier engineering for those mounts. Getting it installed is real simple, assuming you have 3 arms and 3 hands; again due to the mount system. Would I get again ? the jury is still out, until a better solution becomes available.

Here's my review of the Revolver X2 and BAK Box 2, which I had on my truck. I still have the X2 installed, but removed the BAK Box to make room for a cabinet I bought. On a 5.5' bed, I feel that its usefulness is hampered by taking up too much of the bed space. It sure is nice to just have all my truck stuff easy to reach, though. I went back to using a 12-gallon plastic bin to store my stuff in.

If I had the 6.5' bed on my truck, the BAK Box would be more useful and less in the way.
