“It’s lockable” but you can take the whole thing off and run away with it lol
Good thing there is a lock on it, that will encourage someone to steal the whole thing, which will be EXTREMELY easy. There should be something preventing this. Go to 8:10
Hahaha, why does it even lock?!
I haven't tested the Undercover model for this but other brands boxes doesn't allow you to lift the case off it's hinges until you have swung it out fully, something you cannot do with the tailgate closed and locked. Plus, all these boxes are really made to be extra compartmentalized storage under a tonneau cover.
I bought a left and right side for my 18 F150. I noticed the keys fit either box. So I guess all these boxes are keyed the same. Not a big deal, because it's under my tonneu cover anyways. They locking top would be handy if you needed to keep a nosey ninny out of your stuff if you have the box off the truck. Also, it has a latch for a padlock on the hinge bracket so it can be locked and can't be removed. Anyways, I'm happy with the setup so far, just finished installing it and will fill it up later with crap (LOL). Although, if it's full of stuff, it'll be heavy to lift off.
There’s a spot on the rear bracket to install a padlock to prevent the case from pivoting
They'd have to get the tailgate down first to get to the hardware mounting the swingcase.
Just installed this on my F 150. It is easy to install. The only problem I had was getting the tail light off. There are 2 pins on the forward part of the light, top and bottom, that clip in which made getting the light off tougher. The case came with a hinge lock to prevent lifting it off. There is a place for a padlock as well to keep it locked to the side. It's plastic not steel so I know if someone wants in.... I do have a tonneau cover so it's out of sight. Also I can slide in 4x8 sheets of plywood without removing the case. Overall I'm happy with it!
We are happy that you are happy! Thanks for watching!!
These don't interfere whatsoever with 4x8 plywood.
Shouldn't use impact without pre-threading a little bit on the second bracket. Could damage the pre-drilled threads easily by cross-threading. Otherwise it's a fine video. Little long / repetitive though.
I have ordered two kits. I also contacted customer service about the three bolts, lock washers, and nuts required for the bracket used for the holding kit. What size and length do I need? I know they are a T40 head with a 13mm nut, but what length? The four T30 head screws not received in either kit? Please let me know so I can go purchase them, since you don't have all the required hardware in the two kits I received. Watch the video from 3:00 / 8:38 to 6:00 / 8:38 to see what I am missing. Thank you.
YT is not where you need to be going
It works perfectly. I love it except I’d recommend definitely having power tools for the job just like this video. It was a bitch for me because I had to use a screwdriver with the torx attachment. And unscrewing the clear assembly where The front 4 screws go was terrible to get off. Super tight screws.
Couple things to be aware of.
A) With UnderCover's model it's their system OR the boxlink or other cargo management system for that slot. You cannot have both.
B) Trust that lock at your peril, if you know the first things about locks even a bump key opens it in moments, if you don't know the first thing about locks a screwdriver in the key slot and a hammer whallop or two will also allow you to open it without problems (tested when I switched trucks and the old swing cases didn't fit the new one, I do a fair bit of security consultancy work and wanted to know). Do not store anything in these that you care about without a quality cover on your bed.
C) Competitor models have a carrying handle so the case can be used for outings such as fishing trips, hunting supplies etc. For some reason Undercover chose to design their case without this.
Good point, I wish this had a carry handle.
A.) I was wondering about the Boxlink brackets myself. It wasn't mentioned in this video and I wasn't sure if it was possible to have the Boxlink bracket installed under the bracket for the swing box and still be able to install Boxlink options. If this were true then it would just be a matter of removing the swing box and then installing your Boxlink options.
B.) I would be less concerned about someone breaking into the lock and more concerned as to whether someone can just pop the box out and lift it off the pins since it didn't seem there was anything other than gravity keeping the box on the pins.
So, the bracket that is put on last, with the 4 screws in the side, are not threaded, the bolts cut threads. There is also a place for a padlock on the hinge bracket.
What are those 4 cutout sections on the side of the box used for? I've seen most of those boxes have those so I was wondering what they were for. Thanks.
This is exactly the kind of storage I'm looking for, but the price point is way off for these things. 200 bucks a side for plastic construction? That's way too high for what these things are. I'd be curious to see how they hold up loaded under some off roading. To be fair, they are a good solution to the lack of compartmentalized storage on the F150s. Given the fact that these things are plastic as well as black, long term warpage is also a concern with exposure to sunlight. I'd like to see a "one year later" video by someone who uses these things on a regular basis. If the durability is there, that would at least justify the price to an extent.
Use a tonneau cover
Want to scream "STOP!" the insane music. Good review, however.
So many storage options inside and outside the truck. Is there a way we can make sure they use the same key. Don't like having so many small keys attached to the ring of my fob lol.
Has anyone had issues getting them to lock/latch into place? I just installed both of mine, and the damn things will not stay latched no matter what I do.
Any suggestions?
Thanks this video right on made it simple easy breezy , dude pretty sharp with explanation.
Quick question guys. Will this still work if I have leds lights in bed on sides? Thanks..joe
Am I the only person with a '15 Platinum where the middle "holding" bolt goes into just a sleeve behind the taillight with no threading????
4:48.....what are you doing there?!? Is that why there's a video edit cut right at that exact moment?
I really want 2 of these for my platinum but will these cover by LED lights in the bed ?
Plz let me know if you figure out the answer to this I’m worried about it covering up the lights and the on button
They do cover it up but they swing out and easily removed.
This fits with tonneau covers as well?
@ 0:20 - "works with every single tonneau cover on the market"
Can you lock the box to the bed of the truck
Yes
Will this work with the extant solid fold 2.0? Got those handles towards the rear that may come close to the clearance required.
I have the rough country cover that has the latches at the rear. The box will close, but you have to unlatch the box to get to the tonneau cover latch..
Can someone post the thickness of the spacer?
Did I miss something. You indicated it has a lock on it to secure items (not super secure I know) but you press a leaver and it just pops off? I feel like there should be a release inside the box so you would have to unlock it to remove it!?!?!
I think having the tailgate closed and locked would prevent anyone from accessing the mounting hardware.
@@foford2010 but if your tonneau was open or off?
@@supastyles1 you'd still be good as long as your tailgate is locked. They'd have to get the tailgate open to access the hardware. If they really want to get in it. I think they'd use a dremel tool
@@foford2010 ok cool. Thanks for explaining
Just move to a better neighborhood..lol. So negative!!
What’s the point of locking it if the whole thing can be removed by lifting it up, i installed mine but it feels like anyone can still just lift it up out of the hinges if they wanted to.
Won't lift up when latch. And with the tailgate up and locked. No access to the mounting hardware.
so let me get this right they put this case in and it has a lock on it what would stop someone from just taking the case off the truck from the hing pin?
You can install your own lock to prevent that. There's a spot for it.
Your right
@@kercmerk 👍
What would stop someone from stealing the entire truck? If a thief wants something bad enough, he'll find a way to get it.
Locking it seems dumb when you can simply lift it up and remove it?? Did I miss something?
I was thinking the same thing but I think with the tail gate locked you can’t get to the handle.
Yes. You can padlock the hinge.
It’s for storage guys. It’s not a freaking safe. I’m sure if you had something in your truck they could possibly just break your windows out.. Same scenario.
Thank you so much!
Thanks for watching, Jayce! We appreciate it! -Zach
Why bother with the lock when a thief can just lift the whole thing off the hinge? You should add a carry handle to make it easier for the thief.
Not easy if you have plastic Bed liner. It’s a PITA
Does this fit with a factory bedliner not a spray in one?
If you watch the video, this shouldn't even be a question. As long as you have access to the boxlink bolt holes, I can't see why having any type of bed-liner would make a difference
Will this work with a drop in bed liner?
doesn't seem to, but still can but you'll have to trim and drill holes in the liner
would a SC-201 99-14 Model fit a 2019 F150? Thanks!
If you go to the actual Swing Case website, you can input your info and it will spit out the correct version. Even though most things on the 2015-2020 trucks are the same, it seems the hardware is different. undercoverinfo.com/undercover-swingcase/2020/ford/f-150 Hope this helps!
Can it go on the left?
They make one for each side.
So close to buying one until i watched this. Why bother with a lock when someone can just lift the entire box out and walk away? Makes no sense
Padlock on hinge bro
What's the point of the lock when people could've simply lift it up and take the whole box away?
You’d think for the 200 bucks they would provide you with everything you need to install it... had to look up the video cause they fail to mention it to you in the INSTRUCTIONS!... horrible guys. It’s the details sometime man, small gestures of caring for the customer. I’m sure they are gonna delete this!
WTF are you blathering on about exactly
But its not secure if someone can just lift it off and haul ass with it lmao. What a waste of $400 USD hahah
Tailgate locks
Its less than 200.00$
First
