Got bored yesterday and decided to make myself a cheapo toolbox for the back of my truck. Plywood with 2x4's to reinforce it. Turned out purty good if you ask me. Just need to find a way to lock it until I fork out 400$ for a diamond plate one.







What do you think?

 

Looks good!

 

Aren't you worried that it'll rot out in a couple weeks? lol

 

Prolly ought to stain it or something

 

look on craigslist for a toolbox... my buddy just picked one up for 100 bones

 

looks good a little coat of black paint would help to protect it till you can buy your chrome one

 

yeah a little paint on it would make it looks better and protect it alot more!

some wood sealer maybe then a coat of paint and ur good to go for a few months

 

The first rain and your going to wish you had never put all your good tools in there ya know

 

i got my box off here for 50 bucks

 

Ya this is just temporary, I want to see if having one is actually worth the money, so far.... no lol I used to keep all that junk in the back of the cab. Although it might come in handy when I'm in the trails... We'll see

 

^^^ its deff nice on the trails dont have to dig thought the back of you truck. esp when you dont have 4 doors like i do

 

yeah check craigslist. i sold my old one for 20 bucks lol

or go to lowes and look at the cobalt boxes. at my store a low pro box for my truck runs just over 200 bucks

and for now. paint the wood black!

 

its great to have a box. i miss mine, but i just grew tired of how it looked. i dont carry near as much stuff in the truck now that i dont wheel it all the time now.

 

Woohoo for spray paint that was lying around my house!

 

Looks sweet man.

 

Actually it looks pretty ghey lol. At least it's temporary

 

haha start searching craigslist lol

 

Just did, 200$ is the cheapest

 

Huh.. Guess I can't delete the post. Looks good for a home made box for sure. Was going to comment about the tow strap until I saw you do have a proper one underneath. LR

 

I do have one, it's the white one underneath the yellow bandit lol I use the hooked one for midget jobs

 

haha Thats why I edited my post!! I've seen those little bastages do some serious damage to trucks [including one caved in tailgate], thats why I started my original post. Luckily, everything I've witnessed hasn't involved people in a serious manner. I've been thumped by a couple though over the years, nothing too major though. LR

 

Haha never would I use that strap to pull a vehicle that is stuck. I have also seen a bit of carnage involving them lol
