Crew Cab tool box options?

I like this, I might pick one up.

That one is different...

I like it, it would go good with a tonnaeu, and it has room for a small tool set, jumper cables, and some other misc. items.

Very true on all aspects.

It is for the CB. I used a stake hole antenna mount under the tool box. The antenna is a 4 ft Wilson silver load.
The cable is run behind the running boards and through the drivers door jam - I plan to run in properly when I get to my new home in Texas which has a shop attached. I've yet to find a good way to get cables out of the back end of the truck to the bed - I think it will be back seats out


This is where I ended up mounting the radio:

Great foresight.

That is what I am looking for to put in my truck. I just need to store stuff like tow straps, different receivers, etc. and I think something like that would be great. Need it to fit under the soft tonneau rails and not cost a bundle. I've been thinking about designing and welding my own. Don't think it would be too hard to do. Though it would be easier with a plasma cutter.

Looks good, Pony! A closer picture of the antenna mounting on the truck box would be great if you can provide one.Thanks!

This was taken when I first hooked the Wilson Flex 3ft antenna up. I have since added a grounding strap and the 4ft Wilson NGR shown in my previous post. The coax is hanging loose in this picture. This does however show the mount I used. If you want a current picture let me know.
The mount means truck and toolbox are both unmodified, and easily removed.

I think this one would fit, the bed on the tundra is rather deep.

Thank you, that was a good close-up pic of the antenna Pony!

I just purchased an 08 crewmax and would like to put a toolbox in the bed also. I cannot see the pictures posted by Pony, any help?
