Any pics of First Gen Tundras with tool boxes on?

Any pics of First Gen Tundras with tool boxes on?

 

Looks good. I have a 2006 DC. Hard to find a box that fits well. Thanks for sharing.

 

Just get some basic measurements from your truck, and go into any big box store. I bought mine from rural king. The pre-drilled holes in the toolbox didn't line up with the bed stakes so I drilled my own. I used J-hook bolts to secure it down.

 

Yep. UWS makes one that fits with j hooks and no drilling. Might go that route. I have a bed cover but not too crazy about it.

 

Post up some pics!

 

Of the bed cover?

 

Of the truck!

 

Boom!

 

Looks good! When did you buy this truck? See this thread by @shifty` .

 

Last February! I’m part of the first gen group on Facebook! Much easier than this. Lol

 

It might just be easier than here, but you're still new to it. It'll get easier with time. Given recent events with our lunchtable... I'll bite my tongue regarding my opinion on the FB groups. They do produce comedy gold though sometimes.

 

Haha. They do. That group helped me a bunch. I have put 10,000 miles on that truck in the last 10 months and it runs like a champ. When I bought it I put on a new MAF sensor, alternator, oil, pan, and front new struts. It drives like a Cadillac now. It only has 191,000 miles on it. How do I put my year in mileage on my profile so it’s viewable like yours?

When was the timing belt replaced last? If not recently, with quality parts... you might be driving into being a humongous paperweight soon. See the below quote.

 

At 170k miles. My buddies a mechanic and has been for almost 40 years. He did a full inspection before I bought it. No rust

 

I have a Swing Case I really like.

That’s pretty cool.

 

Did he mention the timing belt?

 

Yep. Sticker showed timing belt and water pump changed at 170k Miles which he checked.

 

Good deal! 2WD/4WD?

 

2WD

 

Is that a low profile UWS tool box?

 

Yes, with cam locks. The dealer may tell you that combo is not available, but it is.

 

Very cool. That looks awesome. I like the box look better than bed cover on first gen Tundras.

I was two shakes away from getting a toolbox and landed with a soft tonneau. Then wasn't loving the soft tonneau, so went with a Bakflip tri-fold that provides hauling access using 90% of the bed. I got a stupid cheap price on it via closeout deal with RealTruck.

Pics of soft TonnoPro and Bakflip FiberMax if it helps: https://www.tundras.com/threads/show-your-tonneau-cover.18411/page-14#post-2777435

I would like some swingcases to hold my ratchet straps and other stuff but I'm temporarily using an old ammo box to do all that, attached to the inner bedside. There are pics of that around here somewhere too.
