After about two years of driving the truck I got tired of keeping all kinds of tools and tow straps in the back seat. I decided it was time to get a tool box. I went down to my local tractor supply co and looked at there boxes. They looked good, but not great... They didn't even have the one I wanted in stock. Decided to call around finally found one that was 2.5 hours away! Luckily it was on the way to a vacation spot that i was going to the following weekend. Later in the week I found out that one of my friends had his tools stolen out of his tool box. It was the same box I was looking at! we watched the security footage and saw just how easy it was to get into the TSC box. That changed my mind. I decided to get the weatherguard box from a local construction company. They were so nice there even helped me install it and gave me $50 off the price. I am VERY happy with the quality of the weather guard box at one time I had 5 people sitting on it no problem. The TSC box would have defiantly bent under that kind of stress.
Wow that post got long haha

I do A lot of night driving and the OEM backup lights just weren't cutting it for me anymore. I thought about putting leds in them or maybe adding one of those tailgate light bars. i finally decided on putting in the reverse light kit made by KC. the kit comes with two rectangular lights 55w Halogens each. After i got the set i stared looking for mounting points. I for the bolt that holds the bumper on the bottom. Took that off and mounted the bracket to it. wiring was very simple the kit came with everything needed had to take out the right taillight to wire up the relay. Also mounted the relay in the taillight. I thought it would be a fairly dry place. Overall i am very happy with the lights i think they look good as well.

I like that radio. Where did you get it and how much was it if you don't mind me asking? Did it come with the face plate? and does it have a spot to connect a Ipod? Sorry for all the questions in one post
