Truck bed box
The Dee Zee brand pops up quite often but some of the reviews say the aluminum is very flimsy. I don't use my truck for construction, the box would be for some tool storage and maybe a couple of batteries and an inverter.
Any other brands to check out?

Had a weatherguard when doing a lot of highway construction inspection. Bought 4wheeler to put in bed and ended up selling it. Mistake. That thing was awesome and no doubt would have lasted a long time. Confirmed by many others. Prior to weatherguard had a store labeled Dee Zee. It was a POS after a year or so of not heavy duty use. Now have a UWS and am happy so far. It’s definitely more solid than any other better built, dee zee, etc. If you don’t want to spend the money on WG I would seriously consider UWS. Have seen some protech and they seem solid.

My '92 flare side has a UWS box in it that is original to the truck and my buddy still has the low profile box I sold him 10 or 12 years ago.

When mounting boxes to the bed, did you use some sort of material to "insulate" steel from the aluminum?

after everything was tightened down I went underneath the truck and painted the washers Nuts and Bolts with the anti seize compound in case I need to remove it
