I have a low profile bed mount style, top of the box sits below the bed rails. It is a Husky and was on the truck when I bought it. It's not bad, I haven't had any lid issues...I had another brand (can't remember what) of the same style on a truck I used to have and the lid wouldn't close right half the time. However, it is nothing compared to the United Metals (correction: United Welding or UWS) box I had on another truck I used to have, but I'm not sure they are still in business. It was a rail mount, deep with a rail all the way around on the lid, you could bungee coolers and stuff on the lid. I abused the hell out of that box but that was back in my hunting and working out of the office days....paid $300 for it at Sam's Club umpteen years ago.

My Delta Pro was about $500 installed. VERY heavy duty. Had mine for close to a year and a half now and i abuse it everyday for work. Its not the cheapest thing but if youre looking for durability look no further.

Have they gone up that much? I know Aluminum has gone way up since China started buying it all up, but sh*t, I paid $225 for my full size UWS brand spanking new in the box in '05!!!

Ive got one that mounts over the rails and has a top rail on the box. I didnt pay anything for mine as when i was working at a dealership I took it off a truck before they were going to send it off to the auction to wholesale it out. I love it and use it all the time.
