Default Tool Box that Works with Sport/Roll Bar?

So I am looking to install a Locking Tool Box on my truck, but I also want to install a sport/roll bar...

Are there any tool boxes out there that will work with this?

I would prefer not to go with the wheel well style toolbox, so that's out.

I am thinking about this kind of Sport Bar (but without those ridiculous flames on it:

Please let me know if you know anything.

I do like the look of that sport bar!

I called Go Rhino and they said a truck box will NOT fit. A tool box that does not rest on the rails will work though, not sure if that is an option for you?

Yeah thats an option but I have a 5th wheel ball in the bed that the previous owner installed, so I am limited by all of that...

I'd like to have the best of both worlds but I guess that might not be an option.

I might have to get the wheel well box or a chest type, but I'm not sure how those mount to the truck.

Well It looks like my only other option is a Back Rack Headache Bar...specifically this one:

Which will allow me to get a 21 to 31" toolbox... which is okay with me...

Undercover has a swing case that mounts to the side of the bed via a swing arm attachment shown below. The chest types either bolt to the bed or are secured via a lock to one of the tie downs. We have lots of options for tool boxes and the Delta aluminum truck chest sits below the rails and might work for you.

That would work too, guess it comes down to which look you like better!

I like the GoRhino Look better, but the toolbox is a must for me, the other benefit of the Back Rack that I see is that it has tie down spots... so that is definitely a plus over the GoRhino bar.

I might have to go with the wheel well boxes though, else I might not be able to fit the quad/dirt bikes in the back...

We'll definitely be in-touch, gotta start dropping hints for the Girlfriend around the house for my birthday this weekend... :-P

Ok that makes sense. Lots of options when it comes to bed accessories. I swear every time I check our site I find a new product.

What kind of dirtbike is it? I got a KTM450EXC but thinking about selling it for a jetski (I live at the beach and would use it a lot more I think).
