Default Tool box for my truck bed

I sold my pop up trailer this weekend so I got a bit of money. What do yall think of these boxes here for my truck? Its a toss up with this (Tractor Supply Co.® Full-size Single Lid Tool Box, Black - 0184008 | Tractor Supply Company), and this one that I really like because its deep boxed and on sale ([http://www.tractorsupply.com/vehicle...-black-1049293).

Looks fine to me, I personally like the RV boxes that sit inside the bed not on the rails. However don't think you would have any problems.

Yea we have both kinds of boxes at the company that I work for in there trucks. The drop in ones seem to get beat up on more then the rail ones. Also you have to bend down and screw with them to get it to open, Im fraid that it will slide around and my truck already has holes from the last box that was in there.

Look into Weatherguard, Pro-Tech, RK or something along those lines, pay a little more but in my experience they're tougher and last longer. I personally like Weatherguard for a number of reasons. One being the button is on the side so when my bed is loaded with crap that would block the latches on other boxes I can still get in.

True and a very good point. we have a few tractor supply's and aws (I think thats the brand the one with the fish on it), And tractor supplies look the best after all this time. also I dont want to spend a ton on it because Im going to drill in the box for LED Lights in the box and for my LED Strobes on the outside of the box. And sometime soon Ill mount my CB and HAM att off the box. And I need to get new brakes all around... So much to get so little money
