Re: 'Out of Sight' Truck Tool Boxes

I went to Tractor Supply today on one of my errand trips & looked @ their boxes. The Weatherguard boxes do seem to have a much better locking mechanism vs. their 'generic' boxes. More support for the locks latch & internal rods & they seem to be made of substantial material vs. the cheap boxes.

They also had a 'Jobox' that was 24.5H x 24W x 48L. It was damaged in the front of the box & the mgr said he'd do 10% off the $299 price tag. Not bad but I prob would have jumped on it if he offered more of a discount.

It looked like it would take some work to get the Jobox weather-proof too. The lock 'pockets' would need some sealing so that puts the WeatherGuard box out front for now.

Hhmmm. . .... The black alum treadplate box or paint a white steel one body color?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
