Hi all,
I just bought a new toolbox for my 2015 F150, and I was wondering how any of you with toolboxes installed yours? There's no way for me to reach underneath and bolt it on, so I am planning on screwing it in permanently with self-tapping screws. Will there be any negatives to doing this with the new aluminum body and the chance of corrosion?
Thanks

 

Buy an installation kit or some j hooks so you don't have to drill holes in the bed rails.

 

What he said...........

 

I used self tapping screws on mine. The rails on these trucks dont have lips on the inside of the rails and the j-clips or any other clip wouldnt work very well.

 

I'm using these and seem to work ok....

My bed
rails on my truck has a lips on them

 

The bottom edge of other trucks I've owned turned back toward the outside of the bed leaving more of a lip for a j-clip or the better built clips to mount to. I tried the better built clips on this truck and they didn't seem like they would have been as secure as I like.
