Installing Tool Box

[jeepmedic46]

What is the best way to install my toolbox to the bed of my truck? I don't want to drill into the bed.

I use two pairs of these: http://www.buyautotruckaccessories.com/product.cfm/cf-bin/pn.challenger-toolbox-mounting-kit/ to mount my toolbox to the bedrails. This is for a toolbox that sits on top of the bedrails. If it's one that sits on the floor, I don't know of a real secure method other than drilling holes and bolting it to the bedfloor.

If you want to do it on the cheap and with a quick trip to the hardware store, just pick up some J bolts. Same concept as the link above but it'll only cost ya a buck or two. This is all assuming that you're talkin about an over the rail tool box.

It is a over the rail tool box. Thank you, I'll get some J bolts.

Thank you, Then all I'll have to do is figure out how to put it together.

I considered J-bolts, but a local sporting goods store closed down a couple of years ago and had the clamps for $5 or $6 a pair, so I picked up the last two pairs they had.

I agree with this...I've used other methods and just recently tried J bolts with my newest truck. I'm very happy with the way they work. Much stronger and much easier too!
