wow, I didn't know they made toolboxes like that one. I just might have to get one for mine. I just have odds and end tools, jumper cables, and such. I like the look of the silver ones but I am not set and stone on anything yet.and yes I definitely need a cover. I have been trying to determine what kind to get. I assumed a hard one but as i looked into price the soft roll up type I think is the answer. I really only need it for during the snowboarding season so gear can go in the back and people inside. how much money am I looking at for a good cover and swinging toolbox? and do you have any recommended brands? Im not going for the best just good quality at a decent price.
Soft Tonneaus:
Truxedo, Extang, Lund, and Access are probably your best bet there. Stay away from the snap on covers (they're less expensive) and find something like the Truxedo Truxport or LoProQT, or the Extang Revolution. I just ordered a Truxport for my Screw, that will be here tomorrow. I'll let you know my thoughts after the weekend (small road trip to hunt camp). Cover and tailgate gasket, from my local shop, for $390.
Hard covers, and the rolling garage door types covers are going to run you more like $1000. To compare what's out there, check out this sponsor of the forum, Tonneau Covers and Truck Bed Covers at TonneauCoversWorld.com You'll at least be able to compare makers, models, hard vs soft, etc.
Those undercover swinging toolboxes are not cheap. Drew (Coskid) might be able to help you out more here, but I remember seeing them for liike $300 a piece.
There is a decent amount of space under your back seat, if you don't have a the factory subwoofer.
Currently I have all of this under the seat:
jumper cables, 75 piece tool set, large maglite, blanket, 4 12' tie downs, umbrella, and of course the factory jack kit.
How's the mirror?

sweet. definitly let me know how you like the cover. I have a upgraded sound system and the subwoofers currently take up all the space i have under my back seat. love the system but it does take up all my available space.
The mirror is still just taped up for now. im shopping around. they want around $115 for labor cost and $200 for the part. im considering temperarily fixing the plastic (hood)part and just getting a mirror cut and putting it on myself for the time being. one place said they would install the unit for $40 so im looking to see if i can get the parts cheaper somewhere else such as a junk yard. thanks for asking!
