Hey guys, John here with RealTruck.com. Today I want to show you how to install the UnderCover Swing Case Truck Bed Toolbox.
Okay guys, we've got our Swing Case out of the box and you could take a look at it here and see what it is we're going to be putting in the truck. Some of the really nice things about it is that this is a hard case which is going to help protect stuff that you want to put in here to keep it out of the weather if you don't have Tonneau cover. If you do have a Tonneau cover, that's the other nice thing, you can install this with pretty much all types of Tonneau covers. Also you can see here the locking ability. You can take the key out and one of the neat things is that has a nice convenient tool tray in here. So that way you can keep stuff nice and handy where you need it. And if you're tailgating, you got the barbecue grill going, sitting on the tailgate, this thing guys, comes equipped with cup holders. How cool is that? So easy install and I'm going to show you how to do that right now.
The first thing that we're going to do is start putting our case together and what we want to do is just take our hinge and our lock bracket and we want to attach those. And the way that we're going to do that is we're...you see on here the two studs that stick out of there. We're going to attach this in this direction and take the two whiz nuts that come with the kit and that's what we're going to put on here to hold this on. And once we get this on here we'll just tighten that up. And I'll show you exactly how that goes here in just a second. It's pretty quick and simple. Easy to do. Okay we have that on there. SO the next thing that we're going to be doing is attaching this to the truck. We need to know where we're going to put it. So we're going to hook it on here and get it set up where it's going to go.
What we're going to is we don't want this sit completely right on the bed of the truck. So we want to bring it up just a little bit. Right about there and then what we'll do is once we have it up here in place is that you can either...the easiest way to do it is to actually open this up and so that way you can hold onto the lid to pull it up here a little bit or you can get somebody to give you a hand and help you with marking it. If you don't have anybody around, this method works. And mark that right there so we know where to put our first hole. Then what we're going to do is we're going to release this from the case and that is just a matter of pulling this lever and that will allow us to pull this off of our case and set it out off to the side. 866-554-0581 Free shipping for orders over $100!

You could also just place the box on a 2x4 and mount it. It's always handy to have spacing set to 2x4. It just works.
he's not smart enough to think of that
that was the first thing I thought of ....2x4 ! ...done
Stick a 2 x 4 under it to mark the holes.
Just installed my driver side case today....2019 F150.
Piece of cake to install.....maybe 15-20 minutes.
Great case for sure. No rattle or water incursion. LOVE it so far. I store photo gear (tripods/lenses etc) in it when out shooting for realtors and custom home builders. I use foam padding inside. Fantastic.
Had a set in my last truck. They are trash. Don’t hold up, start sagging if you put anything in them, latches break easily.
Bought this from my husband for Christmas, installation was easy-peasy thank you for the video to do it!!! Really helped not to have to measure where to put it and just use your guide. Thanks!!
Glad it helped!
My only issue with this is drilling holes into the box that wasn’t meant for it. Water or moisture will ingress and how will the water or moisture escape to prevent rusting over time ??
I hate drilling holes in my truck
Should be a rivnut instead of a self tapper
You truly don’t need to attach the case to the brackets for installation, I installed two of these in less than 30 minutes, and they work like a dream!
Bought a similar tool box but the package didn’t include the installation instructions. I was about to return it. Glad that I saw your video. Thanks
Glad I could help!
Have them showing up tomorrow can't wait!
I marked my holes before assembling the two bars together. Also needed pilot holes for the two lower bolts.
Got mine today!!! Thanks
Excellent and easy to understand video, can't wait to order two swing boxes for my truck.😁
I like these! Need to order a set soon.
Ebay
Very convenient, install was simple especially using an impact driver.
You Rock!!! Thank you for sharing!😀😎
Installation would have been a lot easier if you put a block under the case and then mark your holes, i.e a 2x4 would have worked for this installation. Also I noticed that the tie-down loop was covered by the bracket, perhaps going a little higher with the bracket would give better access if needed. Anyway quick and easy install. Thanks for the video.
yup i like
my tie down loops in that location for kayaks
With this informative video the install was a snap
Well there be any difference with the install if you have a linex liner on the bed?
Wow thanks that made things a lot easier my set did not
Come
With instructions and install was not going well. Allgood now thanks again!👍
Happy we could help!
I like the ones that go in the ford truck as it utilizes existing holes in the Rick so you’re not drilling holes or trying to line anything up you just put the bolts in and it’s already lined up. It’s even easier on the ford truck. The only real difference is 1 you don’t have to have self tappers and 2 the dodge truck will need to utilize these boxes to store all the tow straps it will need so when they break down they can still get home. Lol......
LOL
That was painful to watch. You couldn't have shored it up with a 2x4 or something?
The way he was using that impact made me cringe
I was wondering if he owns a level. you can tell the box was mounted way off kilter and slanted. Painful indeed.
concur...
Do you have video installing swing cases with a bed rug
My question will it work with factory plastic bed cover ?
Is there one available for the other side or can you turn this bracket around? EDIT: Never mind, there is a passenger side model.
How about if the bed had a liner, will this still work?
Will this also work with the DU-HA humpstor ?
would a SC-201 99-14 Model fit a 2019 F150? Thanks!
I wonder it's fit on Ranger 2011 xlt ..??
Great idea. If they were $250 a pair and made of aluminum I'd be interested. $378 a pair and made of ABS plastic? No thanks
How to install swing under cover on 2015 Toyota tundra
Ya it's still that price -_-
For my GMC Canyon they’re on sale on Amazon for $170
Can get them individually on ebay now for 90-100 a side with shipping included. Just bought one for my ram and it's nearly identical to the legit swing case.
Check eBay. Bought a pair from speedyman $209 to my door. I compared mine to my step sons swing case. Except for name they’re identical. Same plastic, same mounts, same removable tray.
Put a 1'' peice of board under the tool box to hold it up for marking holes !
Look like you can pull the corners up easily well the case is closed an locked.
I put the locking mechanism on the wrong spot for the Box how do you take off that lock
It's the lock and back that holds it against the wall I put it in the wrong spot how do I take that off
Nice cooler
Do you guys have an under cover storage box that attaches to the front of the bed of a 2022 Ford Ranger?
Unfortunately Undercover does not make a storage box for the space in front of the wheel well.
just put a small 2x6 under it and that would lift it up just right for height. easy peasy
Would this fit on my 97 dodge Dakota. I have a cover on my bed
Jose, it will! You can find it here, realtruck.com/p/undercover-swing-case-truck-bed-toolbox/v/dodge/dakota/1997/. Hope that helps!
Can I still stack sheets of plywood in my bed if I install these?
Sure if you can afford the plywood
Only downside is that it blocks the tiedowns
Can you install a little higher to allow tie downs? I thought the same thing. Then you can detach the box for tie down loads.
Can the whole thing just be lifted out or is it lock to the bracket. Looks like someone could just run off with it
If you padlock it, they can’t. I just got one and it came with an additional key lock that fits into the hinges that will also stop it from swinging out, which would stop it from being lifted as well.
Sometimes I see it fits not with a multipro tailgate on Sierra. Why? What is different?
Hey there! The driver side box would require you to remove the bed step handle that comes with the truck when you have the MultiPro tailgate, and since it requires removing a factory component, they consider it to not fit. Personally, we find that handle to be redundant since the shape of your rear stake pocket hole is shaped to function as a bed step handle already. If you choose to remove the factory MultiPro handle, the 1 bolt and 2 nuts that hold it on can be easily removed with a 13mm wrench. The passenger side box would install like a truck without the MultiPro, but if you have the bed outlet, it will be covered until you swing out the box. Hope that helps!
How good will that work if your truck has a bed liner?
+manny6584 works just fine. You just have to screw through the liner to attach the mounting brackets. If you have the plastic drop in style of bedliner I would also put a bit of gasket sealer in the holes as well to help keep moisture and such from sneaking in around the screws.
ok thanks for your quick response.Think im going to pick up one this weekend
+manny6584 Send us a pic or two so we can see your cool install.
ok will do
it would be awesome if it swings 180.
The case won't latch shut. Now what? The adjustment bracket doesn't help it any...
Drill holes in my new truck, really. I got a tie down there any way.
It's the one that holds
Not a fan of drilling holes in a 40, 50, $60.000 dollar truck.
Well that's what you gotta do to turn a 60k truck to a 200k truck I did it but it's how you do it and how you clean it to look manufactured
Just installed one in a 2021 F250 and no drilling. Uses existing holes.
4:40 - any creative thief in a hurry would just cut the padlock.
Can u line x the case?
I'm sure you would be able to as people line-x just about anything, but it comes in a black finish already.
i think ford has tool box that you do not need to drill holes. just use existing holes in bed. of course that only helps f150 owners.
If a thief removes the swing bolts only need to pull release to access the front bolts. Not foolproof, but nothing is.
The box can be locked in place with a pad lock which would not allow the box to swing. This would deny a scumbag thief access to the front locking bolts. But nothing stops a determined thief (or raccoon).
Yes, thief's are scandalous, but raccoons are worst; they dig holes all over my yard 😠!
Check out the video called “swing Case Problems...” does not do what they say it does on 2019 Chevy and GMC and they will not make it right
Wish the manufacturer has come up with a bracket for installing these on both sides of the 2019 and 2020 Tacoma's. Don't try telling me they do either , because "Real Truck" was on phone with manufacturer and was told nope , we have not designed one to fit the 2019 and 2020 Tacoma's yet. But will they ever ?? 🙄
A flat top would be better
its plastic!!
Not smart signing.
I like the swing out case but for the price at 398. Plus taxes the should come with the lock 🔒 come on don’t be so cheap
Effectually rust
Exposed metal. No paint covering the stripped metal
They're OK tool boxes for being cheap plastic, but the worst part is the factory won't sell the mounting brackets for another truck in case you buy something else and want to move them. That's pure chickenshit and I hope they go out of business.
