I bought a yukon. I love it. I am 225 and stood on top of it this weekend and it felt fine. I had a pain finding one this deep.

Stupid question but what are struts? I found a uws cheap but he said the struts don't work. Are they the things that keep the lid from fallin down when you open it?

I honestly don't see how this is a discussion. I have a UWS on my personal truck and a weather guard on my work truck. The UWS is well made for light use, but if you want real, rugged quality a weatherguard cannot be beat... unfortunately they are about twice the price...

Yep, and you could replace it for dirt cheap by yanking one out of a car's trunk at your local junkyard. Not all car trunks are held up with struts, but enough of them are that it's fairly easy to find one in even a small junkyard.

Damn. That sucker is deep. I wouldn't be able to use it. Too much plywood sees the bed of my truck. Plus, I like to tuck my fishing poles under there so that I can fit them all the way in the bed when I go fishing.

Ya it wouldnt fit plywood but fishing poles fit under it lol. I needed something that fit the gf and mines riding gear. Fits boots, 2 helmets, 25ltr gascan, all the tools we need for the weekend. It also has all my cleaning stuff for the truck in it. Favorite mod ive done to my truck so far. Modding it this weekend. Putting some rubber up on top so i can have the front end of my banshee up on it so i can close to box again

Northern Tool's are really nice. They have a nice low-profile, matte black one on sale right now. $339, but they have $50 off.
