I am looking to get a crossover, aluminium, low profile, black box for my truck. I can get it for $288 at Lowes (Kobalt brand) but I am not sure if they are any good. I have been searching for a good online store but price I have found is around $400 shipped. Shipping is killer on these things.

 

I second wanting to know about what brand to get and wear to get them!!

GOOD POST!

Here is the one I got and I like it, I got it in silver but you can get in black

 

do you have a TSC (tractor supply company) near you? i've bought 3 boxes from them and they've held up really good. their boxes are made by Delta and just retagged. they usually have plenty in stock. otherwise go with Delta anyways, good boxes in my opinion, with many different sizes and quality grades to fit your needs/budget.

those kobalts look really good too.

make sure you get one that has good adjustability in the latches and strong lid lifts.

 

lowe's kobalt feel thin and flimsy. looks and feels like sitting on top of it would dent it.
I had a UWS that was good.
check your local craigslist. i've seen some good used deals on there.

 

i got a UWS on my truck and i love it... i got it for 100$ used in brand new shape off ebay a year or 2 ago and i found it local so i picked it up myself. my brothers got a delta and its also great! we have a few huskies and kobalt boxs on some of our work trucks and i have to say.... for what we put them thru they hold up like any other! i would look around for price and maybe even consider a local e-bay search and find the price you like. even those cheaper thin ones will hold up for the kind of use you would come across in the back of a pick up... JMO guys!

 

I have a husky (homedepot), basically I only had 200-250 dollars so it was between a kobalt-husky-cheap delta-cheap craftsman-or something else cheap. Best I could tell they were all about equally not good, so I choose the husky cause I thought the name would look good on my truck... "HUSKY" kinda goes good with "BURLY" . Anyway, now that I have it, it really isn't all that bad. I can sit on it (240lbs) and it dosen't permanetly dent in. And it keeps all my crap from rollin around. Money well spent.


On another note..... inferno red... black toolbox... are trucks are gonna be twins in no time .

 

Thanks, Thats where I got mine and I like it. Double door and it doesnt leak although I have to put a cardboard box inside cause my chain goes everywhere

 

I am in new orleans so no tractor supply. I emailed them with what I wanted but they said they couldnt help me, I needed to go to the store. I guess I wont be doing buisness with them. I am going to check out home depot today.

 

I live in NC and just went to the TSC and they are gunna try and hook me up with one next week when my friend, the manager, is on duty :-))))) (maybe a hookup )
