I need to purchase a tool box for a 16 Sierra 4x4

What do I need to know when purchasing one ?

 

Does one size fit all?

well, you'll probably want to measure the distance between rails and then figure out how high you want it to sit above the rails and below.

there are a million options, you need to figure out what kind you like first. I suggest going to a location with a lot of trucks in the lot and browsing what people have and see it for yourself. Go to the local home depot or lowes or other building supply place.

 

Every manufacturer will give you dimensions or tell you what models it fits on their website.

 

Also keep in mind if you plan to use it with a tonneau cover or not. You need to do the research here. nobody knows what will work best for you.

My local tractor supply has a large selection of nice looking ones, multiple colors as well.  You would be able to compare different boxes and designs there as well.

Going by tractor supply and Lowes tomorrow as see what they got. I have a budget of $300.

You get what you pay for. When I looked at a local shop there was a black deezee one for around 5-600 and a weather guard for around 1000. Opened the lid of the weathergaurd and was sold. Felt a difference in the overall strength of the lid and weight. Couldn’t be happier with my weatherguard

i agree check on craiglist for used ones as well. the kobalt boxes at lowes are junk. I've had a couple of them over the years and they never last. Weatherguard is some of the best you can get. they are around $500 at home depot

Check out a local aluminum fabrication shop.  I have two within a 50 mile radius of me that build excellent truck boxes.  They will also custom build one to your specifications or tweak one off the shelf.   There is no comparison to the aluminum truck boxes from these places to the ones from retailers like Lowes.

Only a couple options, all should be roughly the same size.  I'd check the lock for a better/heavy duty lock instead of the cheap cabinet style.

 

Options are:

 

Low profile/high profile box

 

Diamond plated chrome, aluminum or black metal

      New car smell air freshener

      I found an odor eliminator spray that neutralizes unwanted smells pretty well. Using it with the car's AC running helps to distribute it evenly around the cabin.

      WTI futures / speculation is just that. WTI futures <> current 4-7% inflation and national average gas price over $4.00/gallon.   The spot price, at delivery, is currently $87-$95/barrel which is why gas prices remain high.   Edit: oH mY gOd mEnTaL BrEaKdoWn In tHE pOsT aBOve mInE.

      He does, actually. In another unrelated video he mentions the president called him in the middle of the night to relay some information on a cause (religious based) that he's invested in. Glenn expressed concern that another leftist administration could wield too much power with some procedure the Pentagon was using, classifying certain religions a certain way. Being that he is LDS (Latter Day Saints), he gets hate all the time from ALL over the political spectrum, so he's invested in this. Trump called him back at 5AM to tell him he had made some changes to that classification.   So, yes, they are and have been in contact regularly since the start of the administration. Glenn, of course, always asks his permission before discussing anything on the air.   I already spent an hour or more just searching for these videos. I may have my numbers wrong - I'm not a numbers guy. It may have been a MILLION barrels, not 1.5. The point is, our President, by his actions, gives a crap about America, and US - this is completely OPPOSITE the actions of the prior administration who projected hatred for anyone who wasn't following the left's edicts in lock-step.   Remember, they called January 6th an "Insurrection", when there were ZERO weapons among the crowd, undercover FBI agents agitating the crowd, along with paid leftists acting as aggressors, egging the crowd on in an attempt to whip everyone into a frenzy. It's all been proven.  Pelosi refused Trumps request for more National Guard troops. This smells 100% like an inside job for those with critical thinking skills. Only a handful of guys in the crowd got wrapped up in that, thankfully, but EVERYONE was searched out based on cell phone data, and charges were brought against many. And 6 or so people were locked up and left in solitary confinement for YEARS with ZERO due process!! If you give the slightest crap about our Nation, REGARDLESS of your political leanings, this should frighten you to your core. This is what men suffered, bled, fought, and died against 250 years ago!   This has gone FAR BEYOND left vs. right. This is a  threat to America, and our way of life. This is PRECISELY why Trump, a BILLIONAIRE who could have chosen to take Melania and sit on some tropical island that he could afford to buy himself and RELAX, instead chose to run for office, get hate from literally every corner of the media, get ATTEMPTS on his LIFE constantly, and begin to repair some of the severe damage that's been done to this Great Nation.   I don't know why I bother wasting my precious time here. Everyone has their minds made up. They won't realize we all were correct until it's too late ... after they elect another tyrant that hates America to office (Obama), or another puppet whose administration is secretly running the show behind the scenes (Biden).
