It holds 8.5ft³ in a 70\" body, and it uses gull wing lids so you can open just the half you need from whichever side you are standing on. It closes on two stainless steel paddle lock handles, set wide apart so they fall to hand from beside either bed rail. The tub is a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum, the lid is UWS's patented RigidCore foam-filled design so it will not flex or bind, and a MicroSeal gasket runs the full perimeter of the opening to keep rain and dust out. The finish is bright aluminum diamond plate. This is the heavy-packaging version of the box: mechanically identical to the standard part, but crated for parcel carriage so it can ship without freight. UWS designs, fabricates and welds it in Florida and backs it with a limited lifetime warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 69\" Crossover Truck Tool Box in Bright Aluminum, part EC50008\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 rail pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 J-hooks, 3\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 washers, 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 nuts, 1\/4\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDivider tray, on the models that include one\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS installation sheet, product literature and warranty information\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"embed-container\" style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;max-width:100%;\"\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nyJX-ub0xac\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtra-Thick 0.058\" One-Piece Aluminum Tub\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe tub is formed from a single piece of 0.058\" aluminum rather than welded up from thinner panels, so there are fewer seams to leak or split and the box keeps its shape when it is loaded with heavy hand tools, cordless kits and chain. Aluminum also means it will not rust out from the inside the way a painted steel box does once the coating is chipped, which matters on a box that lives outdoors and gets road salt thrown at it every winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStainless Steel Lock Handles\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe lock handles are stainless steel, not plated pot metal, so they keep working after a few winters of salt and do not seize or bloom with rust.

It is now part of the Lippert and CURT Group family, which is what gives a box at this price a real dealer network, real parts support and a warranty that means something years later. What has not changed is where the boxes are made: UWS designs, fabricates and welds them at its own plant rather than importing finished bodies, and that is visible in the details that cannot be fixed after the fact, such as square lids, consistent welds and gaskets that meet cleanly all the way around the opening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo UWS features do most of the work in this crossover truck tool box. The first is the patented RigidCore lid, filled with a solid foam core instead of left hollow, which is what stops a long lid flexing in the middle, drumming at speed or binding in its own opening as the box ages. The second is MicroSeal, a full-perimeter gasket that compresses as the lid closes and keeps out the rain, road spray and fine grit that ruin the contents of a cheaper box. Underneath both is a 0.058\" one-piece aluminum tub, thicker than most of the competition and immune to the rust that eventually kills a painted steel box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new, factory-packed, covered by the full UWS limited lifetime warranty and supported by UWS's US-based parts and service team.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935842218228,"sku":"UWSEC50008","price":678.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-ec50008-69-in-crossover-truck-tool-box-bright-aluminum-studio-a.webp?v=1785303263","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-69-in-gull-wing-crossover-truck-tool-box-bright-aluminum-ec50008","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
