Default Bed cover with toolbox

Alright, I have a low-profile over the rail tool box. I also have a spray-in bed liner and so my bed is always nice and clean.

However, I commute about 120 miles a day now and would like to put a bed cover on but keep my tool box.

Any suggestions? I don't think I've ever saw a bed cover with a tool box.

Thanks!

They do make a tool box tonneau cover (Extang, Truck Covers USA etc.).


I believe you buy the unit as one though and they don't make a separate tonneau that will work with just any tool box.

I should clarify that I'm looking for a roll-up or folded style, not a hard cover.

Thanks!

Several companies have cover that work with standard tool boxes... however the issue would be that you have a low profile toolbox. Generally those don't work as the bed cover butts right up against where the latches for the box are.

So, unless you happen to have latched on the ends of the box you have several good options but they would require a change to a standard profile box.

Best toolbox edition cover out there IMO is the Access Toolbox edition...

Feel free to PM me if you have questions... happy to cover some options with you, get you some pricing, etc

Extang also has a roll up cover that is compatible wit a tool box.

My problem is the low-pro and the latch that opens the tool box is not able to be reached because when the cover is rolled up it sits against the tool box.

Anyone ever see anything that would work with a low-pro?

I had the same issue with new access roll up cover. when cover closed it was against latch of tool box so I had to raise my toolbox a bit with a pc of square tubing to get latches to clear and now fine.
