Trailboss Toolbox (Pics)
Not many realize but a good Toolbox is everything to a man :-P I finally got my Trailboss Toolbox in which is real purty.. It has a newer handle design and the ability to lock/unlock from either side.. Altho the lock isn't build on a rod system, it's something totally weird.. Basically what you do is lock both sides.. Then go and unlock either side and pull the handle, top comes open.. But if you unlock say the Drivers side and walk over to the Passenger side and pull the handle, the lid won't open.. Weird design but I like it :-P
We also built some dividers with MDF board spray painted black and aluminum angle pieces for L-Brackets.. Thanks to TNT for all his hard work this morning, he's sawin logs right now LOL
Holds 6-32oz Bottles of DK.. Store was out so I only got 3 right now lol..
The center section (where Rotella and Jumper Cables are) is there for 4 Gallons of Fluid, 2 Oils and 2 Coolants..

Also, was looking through your gallery.. You have the same backup lamps I have.. Where and how did you get 100w bulbs in there? I would so love to change them.. I think they are 55w factory and don't help a whole lot..

these lights are projector style, so they have a real concentrated beam.. not ideal for backup lights. i love the stealthiness and low profile of the lights, but i wish they were more of a flood pattern. i never even powered the 55w bulbs, but i can imagine you'd want the 100's.
lol.

Storm that looks great... I love the toolbox! The only thing I don't like is that darn Black & Decker orange and black toolbox, I've broken 5 of those things! 
I've since decided to spend more on my storage choices.

Maybe they make em different in Texas.... either way, I enjoyed em until they broke... but those latches were sure to fall off or in one instance the handle broke off as I lifted it out of my toolbox, scattering a fair amount of stuff I'd rather not have all over the ground ... all over the ground. How much was that toolbox? And do those latches open laterally?

Storm, what type of mat did you use on the bottom of the box. Did it come with the box or was is something you bought and cut to fit in the box? Wondering how I can prevent things from sliding around in my box.
