Mud,

The idea was that I set them up so I can take them in and out. But, I'll probably leave them in 90% of the time. One can easily handle a small ditty bag for bathroom-oriented stuff,
probably including a weekend "emergency kit" of duds and toiletries in case the Boss throws me out, or I find myself invited for a couple of extra days at a bro's place.

The other one will include a set of wrenches and screwdrivers, various 1/2 inch drive stuff to get the wheels off, plug wrench and an extra HDMI module, Windex and a quart of oil and a
couple of rags in a Zip Loc bag...And maybe the add of the universal tool kit; duct tape, vice-grips, and a small can of WD-40.

Also, I have one of those lever/spring dividers that fits nicely to the rear of the bags. It's kind-of a pole with rubber feet that stretch across the bed so that a cooler, chairs, etc. will stay
close to the cab instead of sliding around, while driving and bouncing around on the crappy roads around here.

So how do they attach to the side of the box, magnets, or did I miss something, which i might have being me. I like that they remove.

Check out the pic.

The cases were too much $$$ for what they are. But I figure that if something *doesn't* get ripped off, the $62 was a decent $pend. I've got another $25
in the latches and glue, although I bought three sets and only needed two. And I still have glue left over. I found the rubber pads that are affixed to
the bottom of the cases inside the cases. So, I used them to get decent height so that the tops would swing without hitting the floor of the bed.

Also, I put hidden, small chunks of velcro on each of the handles so they wouldn't flop around and sound like a popcorn machine while I was driving.

Where I pierced the cases to push the spring-loaded pins through, I glued appropriate sized washers so the pins would "ride" on metal and not on the
flimsy case material.

Silly personal mod. I've spent eighty bucks on worse things in my life.
But I ain't talkin. That was then. This is now.
