Tacoma: What are the Best Choices for a Cross Bed Truck Box...?

[anonymousguy]

Hi Guys,

Long time no post. I have a 4WD Tacoma Double Cab. I want to select a Cross Bed Truck Box with quality in line with what I have experienced in my Tacoma...A tall order I know.

I specifically want a low profile model. one that extends above the rails but not more than is necessary. Also Black powder coat is the color I am considering but I have some reservations because I live in Georgia and I am concerned that black might be a problem with the heat that we have down here.

I have heard that black isn't a problem in terms of heat, but I would appreciate some feedback on that issue as well as the what, where, why, and how (much) on the choices that you guys know of.

Thanks,

Kev

That this is not a popular mod.

All I can tell ya is I've had good luck with the aluminum diamond plated ones by Delta.

I just looked at a black diamond plate one at Sears, it is a craftsman and looked really nice and the price was reasonable about $260 on sale....

Maybe the Craftsman is a different story with their reputation and all but...
after doing a little research, (a guy at the distribution level who couldn't sell me one anyway) I found that there only about three manufacturers who make a box of any real quality and I also need a special model for my truck. Here is a link to the site that is supposed to be one of those quality box builders.
UWS

Go with the UWS box- you shouldn't be disappointed- I think it will run appprox $250 for a black /low pro/OTR box.

The reason you need a "special"box is because of the shorter be of the double cab and teh location of the wheel wells.
