MSRP on the web site is $245 per side. According to the site they only sell through distributors. You can do a search by zip code for the nearest one.

I was the first one with one, believe it or not. They sent it directly to me and I gave them feedback. The only downside is you lose a tie down. Other than that it is pretty cool for odd stuff to be stored in. Keeps it neat and out of the way.

how workie with factory bead liner? gotta notch, or screw right through?

nevermind, I see that the bed liner needs to be chopped. Maybe this is my excuse to get Line-x...

I have been purchasing the Undercover SwingCases for $199.95 (free shipping) from truck customizers online. But now I see fellow TS Member truckalter can do them for $185 delivered.

They are more impressive in person than the online photos. I bought the first one on faith and was pleasantly surprised. Very well made and engineered units. When latched there is absolutely no rattles because of a compressed rubber bumper nib that keeps the latch mechanism loaded while providing shock mounting for the box. As far as the latch action there is a small release control at the rear of the box that you pull and the box instantly releases and swings around from the same pulling action. Neat. Neither of my applications have had bed liners (which apparently have to be cut out for the box to install and work properly).

If you notice many of the online retailers show an LED light included in the box but later design considerations removed the light. Those photos were from early prototypes. So don't be surprised when it's not there (as I was). I called and talked to the main design engineer and he says the lights are available if you really want them for a few bucks.

Undercover's engineer really impressed me and seems to know his stuff. They've done a good job engineering the boxes for each make/model of pickup truck.

I installed one in my father's new GMC Sierra and put a set of Geneva tool draws on the other side. I have another SwingCase on order for a SuperDuty and it should be in tomorrow.

My foreman plans on using his for an ice chest instead of a tool box. The design seems suited for that nicely. Could be quite the tailgate party accessory.

Another great thing about them is that they remove instantly to provide for more cargo area if necessary.

The boxes are cool enough that Undercover should offer a larger version for those without a tonneau cover. A long bed model with deeper dimensions would be sweet.

shadyskins · #11 (**permalink**) 10-06-2008, 07:53 AM

When you figure out the cutouts for the drop-in, post some pics please

I'm going to pick one of these up and fab a new mount so it'll fit to my 2001. That looks pretty nice... much better than the 40mm ammo can I've bolted to the side.

truckalter · #14 (**permalink**) 10-06-2008, 02:19 PM

I installed mine over a rhino liner. 5 minutes of cutting Rhino liner off of the factory tie down so I could get it off, thats it. Pretty simple install.
