I went this route, fabricated a aluminum frame to get it up off the bed floor allowing me to slide longer material underneath.
Held in place by turn buckles
All my straps and tools organized in milk crates, making everything easy to remove. I can have the entire box out in less than 10 minutes.

I live on a dirt road and can't keep fasteners from loosening up, toolboxes included. Your idea may solve that problem.

Make sure you add a jam but to your turnbuckle, it won't back itself off with a jam but.

What a great idea. I really like that set up. And the floor remains open for long lumber and pipe.

Oh, the road I live down laughs at jam nuts. Tried that, loctite, pal nuts, lock washers- all eventually come loose. Only castle nuts with a cotter pin hold tight- and the thread locker Ford uses on the bed bolts. lol

I have the big weatherguard. I couldn't be happier. I have mine connected to the Boxlink via an e-track adapter to a 1/2" J bolt. That works better and allows me to tighten down tighter with the one bolt than two little bolts under the rail on each side.

DEFENDER SERIES 302105-53-01 Full Size Saddle Box 71 x 19.7 x 17.7 Black
I just picked this one up at Home Depot on Saturday for $350.00 it has a very tiny dent, not even noticeable.
