    Welcome to the forum.
    I have one in my 2014 DC.
    Since I lost 3/4 of my back under-seat storage with a twin 10" sub enclosure, I got a swing case.

    IMG_1618_zps2oofmjfl_253e6e7bca4d698f2afd3d87597eef9a654ead0d.jpg

    Has jumper cables (although I now carry a jump starter battery pak), rain jacket, 4X4 wood block (for the jack since I have a 2" lift), some tools, every spare exterior bulb, gloves, flares, etc.

    Changed the key lock to a combi cam lock, even though I keep everything covered with an Undercover Flex...
    I like it a lot, no regrets buying and installing it...

    Added this behind it.....:D

    Got my truck used with them installed already. They hold all the stuff I don’t want rolling around the bed of my truck and they fit under my bed cover easily. It’s a nice box but I don’t know if I would have bought them if I had to fork over the money for them myself. That said, they are super convenient.

    The first "mod" to my truck was to add one of these Swingcases. They are a fantastic way to add storage volume without getting in the way of the other ways you use your truck.

    These are cool but they cover the tie down. Do you need a lock box or do you already have a shell/tonneau? If so, save yourself $200 and get a closeable container and bungee it to the bed rail.

    This is the one I went with cause I couldn't justify the price of the name brand one. Works just fine for what it is. Is not waterproof though. It does have a foam seal but it didn't work in a downpour. Not an issue for me since I always have a soft tonneau cover or my topper on.

    Is the quality good? I have a topper but i dont want it banging around back there offroad. Also can it still hold the 75lb rating like the name brand?

    Too many, but not enough....
    These are pretty badass, but I had to choose between these or bed stiffeners and molle panels. I figured I can just tie down a toolbox to the molle panels so I skipped the boxes.

    Yeah its not to bad. I think it would easily hold up the 75lbs. I have a tool box, ratchet straps, hitch stinger and ball, bottle jack, lug wrench and tow strap in mine. Pretty much filled it up and she works just fine minus not being water proof. Only thing that I noticed that it doesn't have that the Undercover brand ones have are drink holders molded into the lid.

    I've got a bed cover already. Any reason at all to buy the name brand rather than these? With the bed cover, I can't see any scenario where water would be a concern.

    Not sure about your bed cover, but my Bak-Flip cover leaks in places, especially the sides and corners when the truck sits in the rain. I’ve never had an issue with things in my Swing Case boxes being wet though.
