What have you guys found to be the most durable and most secure crossover truck boxes? I've heard Adriane Steel is decent, but have heard less favorable reviews on Weathergard, though I have no personal experience with either.

I have some off brand bed rail boxes on my work truck which are crap and want to put something of quality on my personal truck.

Thanks,
JD

I hear good things about Adrian steel equipment. I've been a contractor for 10 years, in MY truck I drive for work I've had a weatherguard box for 6 years and I'm very happy with it. It's one of the deep ones front to back normal depth top to bottom.
My dad however had a butterfly lid protech and wasn't happy with it he just did t like the butterfly lid, protech makes a good product. He ended up selling it and getting a weatherguard like mine. The only problem with mine I'm having is the gas shocks are going bad. I herculined the inside and cleaned it all up with totes and whatnot.

UWS makes a solid tool box.

I bought mine from my neighbor and the quality is no comparison when you put it next to the tractor supply one i had before (made by DeeZee)

I guess it depends on what you do for work ha ha. I do mainly out door construction, a lot of wood tools and power tools. I have all my screwdrivers, sockets, and wrenches in my slider boxes. But of you're throwin a lot of chains, binders, and just some generally heavy stuff in there you'll probably want something really beefy.

Those look very nice, any idea what the gull wing boxes go for? May be way more than I want to spend.

you would have to call them.
they used to have just one point of sales through a third party vendor,
my big box was ........over 800
the small one was 600 something
they are tough and you need a sawzall to break into them

I actually found prices on their website, think it was under "shop online" and yes, they are expensive, but look to be of very high quality. Not sure I want to drop that much on a box though, but very tempting...
