I got a free tool box for the back of the Ram, but no hardware to install. I dont want to drill holes in the top of the bed to mount it. Any ideas?

 

get some bolts that are round at one end (think there called "j" hooks). Then you can decide where to drill holes in the tool box so that you can hook the bolts under the truck box rail. Don't forget to get some thin rubber for between the truck and the tool box. They may even be called "I" bolts. Hope that help you.

 

Lowes sells a No Drill kit - its in the same aisle as the tool boxes.

 

Yep just a couple of "J-bolts" you drill the hole where the "J" will hook under the lip of the side rail, tighten a nut down on a lock washer and viola, you're done. Only holes are in the toolbox, nice thing is the nut is inside the box, so if it's locked, it can't be easily stolen...

 

i just used double sided automotive strength tape. i can't barely get that stuff off even when i'm trying. tool box won't budge.

 

I did that on my '98 Dodge. Truck was black, I cheaped out and bought a black plastic Rubbermaid toolbox for it because it was on sale for like $79.99 at like Ace hardware or someplace. Didn't want to drill holes in it, so I did the double sided tape thing. Held really well, especially with a little weight in the box pulling down into the tape. To be able to budge it, you had to really lift up on it, and kinda like velcro, you had to lift it straight up or forget it.
Well, somebody must have lifted straight up, because about eight years ago the ex and I were in Jacksonville, Fl., about 2.5 hrs. from our home in Ga., xmas shopping, at a mall and came out and it was gone. Broad daylight, 4 pm on a Saturday, three weeks before xmas in a lifted truck that was probably the highest in the lot and nobody saw nuthin'! Someone must have pulled up behind it and I'm sure it would have taken two guys to lift it off and get it in the back of a pickup. Lost about $400 in tools & off-road recovery stuff.
Do yourself a favor and secure it in some way, the J-bolt thing doesn't require any holes in the truck and the two you have to drill in the box are on the underside of the part that sits on the rail, so there's not a water leak issue or anything like that. Now, I'm sure if someone wants it bad enough they'll get it, but at least they can't just pick it up and drive off with it. Now I would still use the double sided tape or something like it as a buffer between the box and the rail, otherwise road vibrations will kill the paint under the box and it'll look like sh*t, if you ever remove the box...
