Looks great. Now we will need a durability update
Love this
What if your truck don’t have these holes?
A few observations. Sir you’re not only blessed with getting to swing out toolboxes for your truck but also for having a wife that is as enthusiastic about these things as you are. On top of that she payed enough interest & had enough knowledge to ask ya why you needed a drill bit if ya had self tapping screws?
I get super excited when my wife pulls up a chair and kicks it with me either in the garage or wherever.
✌🏽🙏🏽
Thanks.
Sweet. Thanks man. I was worried that the storage boxes wouldn't be able to swing the full 180 degrees like I was looking for. but thankfully, you showed that they can swing past 90 degrees and all the way out to you for a more comfortable position. Thank you.
Great review! Been thinking about one of these. I don’t have a bed cover, but I think locking my tailgate will prevent someone from swinging it open and walking away with it. Pad locking every time would get annoying.
you are winning
i just bought a ram yesterday and decided to look at some useful things i can install and stumbled upon your channel, definitely subscribing
Love the way y'all talk as you shoot. Great vid!
I just bought one for my Gladiator! Thanks for the to-do install.
I just got one and I'm excited to put it in since you made it so easy!
That is pretty tight. Love that its removable.
Those are some pretty nifty swing case tool boxes you have there. I'll consider getting one if I ever get a truck. Take care. Lucas
Ok. You sold me on this. I was wondering about it. I am going to get one for my driver’s side. Thank you sir.
Very good video! Somewhat entertaining and instructional. Thank you.
I like those a lot. Going to check on two for my truck.
AWESOME video! Really informative, and super helpful! Going to look into these for my Isuzu DMax!
This is the best swing case video ive ever seen dude im sold
Best video on the swingcase!
We still love them
Guess everyone is going to ignore the fact that he is 12 feet tall?
Wow. Very easy to install. Ty for this vid!
excellent video man.
Well done sir! Got my driver side coming today!
Did you get it installed? 1 year later.....I still love mine.
Hi I did but the clasp Stays closed and you cannot keep open to close by swinging shut.. You have to pull and hold the lever to close.... must have gotten a dodgy one..
Thanks. Very helpful video.
Thanks for watching.
Awesome instruction, thanks
Welcome
Man, that’s a cool deal there !! I think that’s just what I need. I appreciate your review greatly. 👍👍👍
Thanks Harold, so far, we love them. It's been over a year not. Take Care-
Cool vid, thanks
Now that is nice for tools perfect 👍🏽
I wish i was 6'4 also
Hell, wouldn't mind being 6' even instead of 5'10".. Oh well, I am what I am..
Have two of them myself love um.
Stay Safe
Great video. This is Exactly what I need. And, removable...
Thanks for watching!
Dude, they owe you some money. After watching your video I went and bought the pair for my RAM 1500. The second one just showed up. Can't wait to install these and get rid of the crate I have in the bed. Thanks.
You will love them.
@@LifeBuzzN Put them in this weekend. I'm very pleased. Thanks again for the video.
nice
Man I wanna have a beer with this couple!!
Install going down tomorrow! You’re my pal and we haven’t even met yet! Ha!
Can you still put full sheets of plywood or drywall in the bed?
Nice boxes Merry Christmas from west Tenn.
Merry Christmas Danny!
Nice video , I'll get me a pair as well thanks 🙏
You'll love them.
Y’all are adorable and I commend you for confidently drilling into your truck!
Thx for tips
Any time
"Hardest part is opening the Ziploc" 😂 sold!
Merry Christmas too you and little Debbie
Right back atcha Friend. Take Care-
Haaaaaaa, great video!!!!!!
Has anyone installed one of these in a truck with bed lights? I’m wondering how much this toolbox would block the lights
Did you know that the torque setting on the drill and setting to low-speed will get the same desired effect as using the hand ratchet?
Good stuff!
Thanks Dan, Sill love them!
Thanks im looking for something that wont take space like reg tool box to still have the 8ft bed lenght! See like i can prob have 4, 2 fixed and the others swing outs lol!
Love the ease and simplicity... but i think I would take the extra time to install nutserts in place of the self tapping screws and spray the holes with a primer so my truck bed won't rust 👍🏾
After all of these years.....no rust.
@@LifeBuzzN Yeah. But do you live in the Great White North with lots and lots of salt on the roads during Winter? I agree with Amp by spraying the holes on the reverse side of where they tapped in with some paint then covering the protruding screw threads with a silicone waterproof caulk would work.
I'm looking for this only a little bit wider.
MERRY CHRISTMAS nice box
Hi Malcolm, Merry Christmas Buddy.
Got one I’m installing today for my taco. Only thing I’m concerned about is rust where you drill so I’m putting silicon on when I tighten
Nice...You might want to unbolt them and use RTV or paint on the bare metal to keep it from rusting...Also, wish they didn't interfere with the tailgate holder...have a great day...
Nice box
Indeed.
Like having inside Ram Boxes ! The 6" 4" Ram Bed is NOT optioned for Ram Boxes but this Solves it !
You should have put some sealant like silicon behind the mounting screws to keep the rust away. But they do look like a good thing to have for a truck. I think I mite get one?
Awesome!
Thanks Brett, I love them.
Cool, thanks for the demo and info! Can you buy the 2 as a set that uses the same keys?
Yes, I believe so.
Nice video.. Any suggestions for installing thru a bed liner??
Not that I know of
Question ? > Any updates on how the toolboxes have held up ?
Good job... And you used my favorite drill manufacturer! Lol
Mine too!
Haha awesome guys thanks so much
I have the duratech Tonneau cover with the side latches for locking it down. Will this allow me to latch down my Tonneau then swing shut?
For a tall guy like him, sure makes it look easy.
Great video.. I was worried about it making it impossible to carry 4x8 sheets of whatever, but I guess they're easy enough to remove as needed? Do the mounts get in the way in that case?
No, they do not get in the way at all.
Nice!!
How has the hardware held up. I'm leery about the self tapping screws
Took me 10 mins to install it, 20 mins to adjust the damn thing
Looks like these have an accessory that clips onto the sides... Four on each if I’m not mistaken.
So much room for activities....
But for real these boxes are incredible and super strong. Just sux I can’t get one for my 95 f-250 fiddy.
Great Video, might buy one or two boxes. I like that they fit under the bed cover. By the way what brand is cover? I currently have a bakflip, the Texas heat did a number on it. Had it for 4 1/2 years. looking to buy a Retrax 1 cover.
Love the boxes, and bought a Diamondback cover....love it also.
@@LifeBuzzN Diamondback is the only cover that I consider durable. I bought a backflip, it is JUNK.
Thanks those are exactly what I’m looking for. Oh and can I say I just love you and wife’s personality. You two showed sell these things, made me want to buy it 🤗.
I think I would consider mounting a tiedown to the box to secure cargo.
It will also fit (2) gallon coolant jugs and 3 quarts of oil with room to spare.
What is the height from the bottom of the swing case to the bed of the truck? I have a bedslide and I wonder if I can make these fit...
Does your Atv still fit between the fender wells without hitting those boxes? (still have 48" ?)
Will these work if I have a bed extender?
Thinking on getting a set for my Tundra, but having heartburn with drilling holes in my truck.....
I was nervous as well, but now, after several years, there have been zero issues.
@@LifeBuzzN Thanks for easing my mind..... Cheers mate.....
Saw earlier comment about the self tapping screws rattling loose after a while. On your truck is it possible to access the back side of the truck box and use a bolt with a lock nut to secure the bracket?
Kevin Fisher You can just punch in a rivnut if you want to.
Can you still get full use of the bed ?
Does the lid have seal to keep water from getting in?
Yes they are sealed lids.
Is there enough room between the bed wall and tool box to allow for the 5th wheel harness outlet that is mounted on the bed wall of my F350?
Yes, but you would have to move the box to use it.
Would this work with a factory bedliner and a flip-bed extender installed?
James Stafursky it won’t work with the bed extender, but it will work with factory bed liner.
Would this work in a toyota tundra
Nice, but they seem to cover the inside strap down rings. Would have to remove each box?
and trucks with bed lights
Yes. No more rear tie down hooks. But if you have a tonneau like I do then I don’t care. Can always mount new tie down hooks on the side of the bed or use the ones removed.
What is the clearance between the two boxes? Can you load 4' material between them?
supperterofsanity I’m in doubt. I load 4x8 sheet materials into trucks for a living. Full size trucks don’t have many figment issues. But once you start adding toolboxes and other related bed accessories, we usually gotta find other ways around.
I own these on both sides of my truck box, and because they sit behind the wheel well you can fit sheets of plywood in between.
@@bigmacthebusdriver what about a four foot wide RZR?
PRE-DRILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ALWAYS
Hope you see this soon, but would these boxes be able to be installed in a truck that has a spray-in bed-liner? Thanks
I don't see why not. Good luck.
@@LifeBuzzN thanks
Nice! I needs! Are they right and left specific? Or can you change the bracket to use for either side?
they are specific
Can a swing box be installed at front side of wheel well?
May have an issue with the swing of it.
has anyone tried installing one of these on a truck with a spray bed liner does it still fit well?
Heck was wondering with my plastic bed liner, myself. Really don't want to get rid of it.
Can i put a skill saw and nail bag in there
Sorry I didn't see this question. I guess it depends on the size. THey hod quit a bit.
Very good but bad is to pierce the car body.
Do they sell just the brackets? I got the box but want to convert it to swing out.
Why are you asking here? I me come on you searched for the video watched the video and asked a question when you could have used less time sending a email to the company with your question..... why are people this lazy
You made these look so good that I'm gonna buy a truck just so I can get them!
How do you measure so the top doesn't touch your truck bed top?
I followed the instructions that came with the boxes. Worked out great.
I suspect the self tapping screws into the bed will, under the load of the cargo container weight, and rough riding nature of the truck bed itself, be loosen up within a year and stripped out in two.
Nope...it's been a year and still going strong. I use them everyday.
Install rivnuts then add a spring washer under the fastener...mike dropped and outa here
@@LifeBuzzN still going strong?
@@chillier8363 yep....they work like a champ....zero issues after all of these years. I use them daily.
Is the box made of metal or aluminum? Does it feel heavy duty as well ? Thanks in advance
The boxes are hard plastic. Very durable. Still love mine after all these years.
Now my question is would the keys for your box work to open someone else’s swing box? If a thief gets a hold of these keys and they’re universal they can just walk around and open any of these boxes they want. Just something to think about.
Do you think a thief is going to have keys for these boxes? I mean really they use these things called universal keys aka a screw driver.... stop over thinking it’s purpose it’s a deterrent for that opportunist to walk by and look inside a real thief will have the needed equipment to open it in about a second.....
Can you open the box without swinging it out?
Yes.
if you used a level and made sure they are plumb the cases wouldnt move on their own when you swing them open ;)
