Anyone running Bak M4 w/ Toolbox
Interested to see if anyone is running a BAK Industries Revolver M4 with an in bed tool box?
I'm currently running a LEER Trilogy and I am able to access my Fuel Tank/Toolbox combo with all three panels opened (perpendicular to the bed) My box is removed a few inches from the cab wall to allow this.
My issue with this cover, is when my wife is driving my truck. The hard cover is a lot for her to wrestle, and I wanted to see if anyone had a revolver in conjunction with a toolbox.
Thanks to anyone who may provide some insight.

I'm running the Bak Revolver X4, but not with an in bed tool box. I have the Bak Box, which is nothing like a regular tool box. I've been been unimpressed with my cover, but I came from a Retrax. I wanted a cover that didn't have bed space used up with a canister and I'll say that I'm happy to not have a canister anymore.
I do wish Bak would install about 100 dollars more quality control or effort in their products. Mine came shipped to me with the wrong latch system installed on the cover and I had to do surgery with replacement parts to get it working. Everytime I use the cover I'm reminded at just how much lower quality it is over my Retrax.
That being said, its the only cover on the market that can roll up against the cab, give you a full bed and integrates with a bed tool box. I just wish they costed more and came with higher quality construction.

I planned to use the revolver but couldn’t because my tool box / tank combo sits too close to the side. I didn’t have enough room to open the box because the revolver frame extends 2.5” into the bed according to the support guy I was chatting with.
Installed a Truxedo Truxport instead and I’m a happy camper so far.

Thanks for the feedback, y'all.
Sad ad to hear the QC may belacking with the BAK Revolver.
I shouldn't have an issue with the width of my tank/tool box, though. I'm using a 30 gallon ATI setup, and it's pretty narrow. I was most concerned about how far I could open the tool box (if at all) when the cover is rolled up.
You make a good point about the rails protruding into the bed, though. That may open up another can of worms for me.
