Pretty much useless when the cases are in place. Remove the cases to gain access.

Get some bull rings that install on the top rail at the rear of the bed.

You can use them with the case installed, but it's a matter of fishing your bungee or strap to it (or you swing the case out of the way). I'm way happier with this swing case than I was with the tool boxes I had for years. I don't regret installing mine for a single second.

I love mine too! It has been in my past two F150 trucks.

Is there any discernible difference between the "Undercover SwingCase" discussed here and those sold by Ford? When I went to a Ford parts website (Tasca), it shows the swingcase with Ford emblem on it but in the description it says " Pivot storage box by undercover". Are they one and the same? They seem to be priced similarly but vendors other than Ford can get free shipping.

Same box, I'm told.

I love my undercover. I put one on the passenger side and a BuiltRight Industries mounting plate on the drivers side.

It is the same box rebranded for Ford.
