I love it. I can sit or stand on it without bending, it doesnt leak, and looks great.

You can't say the same about the flimsy ones made by husky, craftsman, farm and fleet, and tractor supply.

Why do people need headache racks? The only thing I've thought of is for when carrying long ladders or wood which makes sense.

Default Truck Tool box
Here's my low profile slimline (12" wide) Kobalt.

Perfect size for my needs.

I got this one a week ago. It was $550 but I only paid $200 for it b/c of a auction.

Great info folks. I appreciate the responses. I'm going to look at Lowe's and Home Depot tomorrow. I don't think our local Sears store has any boxes in stock but I'll check there as well.

You folks are the reason I check this forum at least once a day.

Have a great weekend everyone!

I prefer the low profile cargo over the rail style. This one is a Kobalt. I did have to make a riser frame for the box so it could clear the gas spout bulge. Worked out good, as I made it out of uni-strut so I could insert D rings etc.
