    It’s slick. Plus it doesn’t go past the wheel well, so you box is fully useable.

    I have had those in the past, had one on each side, they are pretty slick and well made but don't hold much, the swing out feature was a novelty that quickly wore off, sold them after a few years, don't think I'd buy them again! I now have a cheaper version attached right to the box, stores my recovery straps, towing accessories, ratchet straps and bungees.

    Cam, have you looked at an under seat storage box? I have one of those and they hold a lot. Not my truck in the picture LOL

    Here's a pic of the generic box I bought, removed the lid, attached it right to the side of the box with support over the wheel well. Easily accessed from the side of the truck. I also have a LED flood/work light attached to it with a Ram mount, I use it to light the area when setting up ice fishing, I added a weather proof 12v electrical outlet, can be seen right above the storage box.

    Got one yesterday as a matter of fact. Guy in shoal lake had one on the marketplace, and his wife was coming to town, and was nice enough to bring it in for me.

    Seem to recall buying it at Fleet Farm in Fargo a few years ago, thinking it was made by DeeZee. Was looking for a saddle bag type of box that would sit atop the wheel well with storage on both ends.........no such animal.

    I would love one of those Cam, but a huge downside for me is that is covers up a tie down point. Not good for people who use their truck beds all the time for moving material and equipment. Fine for those hipster truck owners like BGF who line their beds with flowers and rose pedals :)

    Actually looked at that, new boxes are formed differently, much deeper sidewall and wheel well shape, would not fit too well and would intrude too much into the usable box space.
