Toolboxes

Hey, just got a used 05 ranger (4.0, 4x4 5spd reg. cab) and was lookin for a good toolbox, figured yall could share your experience. I'm lookoin for a black one, that either fits in the bed (doesnt hang on the rails) or one that just barely sits on the rails. It would also be nice if it was at proof so i could just chunk stuff in there since the truck is so small (compared to an f250 cc)

I didn't know you could get a 4.0 in a regularcab, When I bought my 04, they told me you had to get a supercab to get the 4.0. Anywho, I don't know nothen about tool boxes, but somebody will be a long shortly that does.

Weatherguard makes some really nice ones, all kinds too. Over the wheelwell ones, between the rail chests, over the rail, etc. The ones from Autozone and such are really cheapo, so if i had one of those, I wouldn't keep valuables in it...

Chk out Northern Tool if there is one near you. I picked up a really nice one there not too long ago and the price was right. As stated above, the ones form Autozone are really cheap, they are very thin aluminum.

I would stick with the durable black plastic for long term use with no rust.

I got lucky enough to get a Garage Sale find tool box for only $25. It even came with the keys and its a plastic box.
