Toolbox Question

I posted a thread on "Aftermarket Products" but didn't get a reply yet so I'lll try you guys.
I have an 04 F150 FX4 SCrew. I need to carry my 4-wheeler in back but I also need a crossbed toolbox. The standard size box doesn't allow enough room for the 4-wheeler. I need a 15" or 16" max width toolbox. Do you know who makes one. I would prefer a low-profile aluminum diamond plate cross-bed single lid box BUT, I'll take what I can get.
Thanks alot.

Are you sreu you didn't post teh depth instead of the width. I think what you are looking for is like a 15-16" wide toolbox from the front of bed towards the back aren't you?

I have a delta, I know it is more than 15 or 16" from the front of bed towards the back but I will have to measure it to know it's exact dimension. If you need the toolbox it sounds like you may have to go with a trailer for the 4 wheeler.

I got a weather gaurd took chest that runs flush w/ the bed not over the rails.
I cant remember exactly how wide it is though. I believe it was 19 inches? somehting like that. I got a bike that fits no problem after installing the tool chest.

I ran into the same problem with my ATV but I also wanted a tool box that would hold everything I needed not just one that fit with the ATV because the tool box is in there year round and the ATV is not. I just put on a bed extended. My tool box is 22" deep and I still have plenty of room with the tail gate down. I know some people do not like to travel this way but just throw a strap across the seat of the ATV, throw the coolers alongside and hit the road. Better gas mileage on the trip as well because of free air flow.
