Default Swingcase Install with Plastic Bed Liner

It can be done. I have a Dualiner bed liner with a heavy rubber mat on the bottom. I also have a Century tonneau cover that has a wacky bracket that sticks way down that I need to clear.

I wanted to trim as little liner material as possible. This is tedious test fitting and re-fitting. I used my trusty Dremel with a cuttoff wheel to trim the pieces. I put down strips of masking tape to make straight lines to cut along.

Pretty much exactly those items!


I think I will get another for the right side.

That's pretty awesome. Are you at all worried about someone breaking into the box or does it seem at least like it would take them a few minutes to get in?

Someone could be in that in 5 seconds. It's just plastic with a cheap lock. Need a cover too.

I wouldn't keep valuable tools in it but its tougher than you might think. I bet it would take the same amount of time to pry in to an aluminum box.

It lifts off the hinges easily if you wanted to lock it in the house, I guess. It also has a padlock hasp to keep someone from taking the whole box off the hinges.

For me, its basically for the **** I don't want sliding around but want to get to easily. I also like that it's mostly out of the way.

It's great to keep the bed of my truck clean. I hate crap sliding around in the box.
