It runs 96\" long, 13.75\" wide and 17\" tall for 12.5ft³ of storage behind two doors that drop down on aircraft-grade stainless steel cables. The tub is one-piece 0.058\" aluminum, the lockable T-handle gives one-hand access, and the MicroSeal gasket keeps rain and road grit out. Finished in gloss black powder coat. Two mounting legs and two keys are in the carton; the mounting bolts are not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's Included:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUWS 96\" topside truck tool box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 mounting legs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 keys\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\/DPxZ-LJY4PI\" 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\u003e12.5ft³ Without Losing the Bed Floor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMounted on top of the bed rail, the box takes up rail space rather than bed space.

The aluminum boxes in this line are designed, fabricated and welded in Florida rather than assembled from imported panels, and the tub is formed from one piece of extra-thick aluminum so there is no seam along the floor of the box for water to work its way into. UWS is part of the CURT Group, a Lippert company, which is what puts a national warranty and a real replacement-parts program behind a box that is still built in a single plant. Handles, gas struts, lid gaskets, striker brackets and keys are all cataloged parts you can buy years later, which is the practical difference between a box you repair and a box you replace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA topside is the right answer when the bed itself has to stay usable. Because the box sits above the rail on its two legs, you keep the full bed floor for pipe, lumber or a pallet, and you get at your tools from ground level with the tailgate shut. The trade-off is height: this box stands 17\" above the rail, so it is visible in the mirrors and it will not live under a tonneau. On a service truck or a flatbed that is exactly what you want, and the drop-down doors put the whole opening in front of you instead of making you reach over a lid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrestige Truck is an authorized UWS dealer. Every box we ship is new and in the factory carton, covered by the full UWS factory warranty, and backed by the UWS replacement-parts program if a handle, strut, gasket or key ever needs renewing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UWS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48935703249140,"sku":"UWSTBTS-96-BLK","price":1037.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4784\/0244\/files\/uws-tbts-96-blk-hero-front-three-quarter-studio-view-on-white.webp?v=1785301166","url":"https:\/\/prestigetruck.com\/products\/uws-96-in-topside-truck-tool-box-double-door-gloss-black-aluminum-tbts-96-blk","provider":"Prestige Truck","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
