Default Truck Tool Box

I'm thinking about getting a tool box for the bed of my truck but with all the different ones out there i don't know what to get, i have a club cab 6' bed, i really like the look of the black diamond plate, the one concern i have is whether to get a low profile or a regular one, anyone have either of these that could post pics, and with the regular size one how much rear visability do you loose.
Thanks,
Josh

the lid does stick slightly over the top of hte rail but i think if you really wanted to fit a soft cover over it you could,
it was like 200 at the local autozone

i've had no problems with it

I had this cobalt one for awhile, but I swapped it out for the one thats sitting in the bed next to it. The Kobalt one was a slim box, and I ended up needing more space, so the one sitting in the bed is the one I have now which is a full size box, and it's full now too.

But here's the pic for you. Don't have any of the bigger one, but I could take a couple if you want.

I also custom made those hooks. They were rated at 250lb break strength. It makes getting to the tie downs much easier.

I love mine; UWS always has worked well.

Heres it in my last truck just show i put eye hooks in each corner to be able to hook tie downs too. For my bike or a tv or anything.


Here it is in my newer truck.
