Logger Box pics

Hi guys. I posted a pic last week of my new truck being towed home by another dentside and both were sporting "Logger's" boxes. several people expressed interest in these boxes and asked for more picks, so I drove around for a while and snapped a few of local Bush boxes

The first one should be called "THE HULK".

I like the style, but the color makes my eyes bleed

Here is a pic of my friend's Bush box (Finally tracked him down and got him to stop long enough to shoot it)

So what is the advantage of those logging boxes?

Where do you live in B.C.? Every truck has 4WD, oversize tires, and the logging boxes.

The green one is by far the best looking box.

Well, Logging, road building, mining, and other industries usually remove the stock beds when the trucks are new and install these because they're heavy duty, made of thicker metal than a stock bed, and one will typically outlast several trucks in service. The company may then replace the stock box when/if they sell the truck and the buyer will think it has been babied ." Looks like the box has never been used" not knowing it has been beat like a government mule over washboard and slash all its life. They can be modified by welding or bolting on all kinds of things, like carriers for spare tires, jerry cans, Hi-lift jacks, Tidy-tanks, tool boxes, headache racks and the like. you can personalize them pretty much any way you like, and they really take a beating. And lot of people just like the way they look.

I looked at making one for my truck. Even started buying supplies. Then I got a stock box for $175. Now I have some stuff I don't know what to do with. Been slowly making other things with it.

I like the work truck look.

Personally I like the second one, has a more mean pissed off look to it, but I like the tube work on the green one.

I live on Vancouver Island. And there are one or two trucks here without Logger boxes
