Blacked-out and built to work, the Weather Guard 117-5-04 wears a deep gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat that matches modern dark trim and wheels. The wet-look shine wipes clean easily and stands up to sun, salt and jobsite abuse. Pair it with black wheels and dark trim for a clean, factory-blacked-out build that still shrugs off the weather. The deep, even shine photographs well too, which is a plus if you show or resell the truck. This full-size, extra-wide aluminum saddle box straddles the top bed rails behind the cab and offers 15.5ft³ of secured, weather-sealed storage while staying lighter than a comparable steel box. A five-piece welded aluminum diamond-plate body with a reinforced C-channel front keeps it strong yet light, and a full-perimeter D-shaped weather seal locks out rain and dust.
What's Included:
117 Series full-size extra-wide aluminum crossover (saddle) tool box in gloss black
1Key UltraLock push-button locks, keyed alike
Under-rail mounting clamps and hardware for a no-drill install
Welded Aluminum Diamond-Plate Build A five-piece welded aluminum diamond-plate body with a reinforced C-channel front panel keeps this box strong yet light. It resists jobsite abuse and road salt without adding the weight of a steel box. This one is finished in gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat.
Gloss Black ARMOR TUF Finish A deep gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat gives the box a sleek, wet-look shine that pairs with blacked-out trim. The tough coating resists scratches, fading and corrosion so it keeps its finish for years.
1Key UltraLock Security Tamper-resistant push-button locks sit recessed when locked, giving a quick visual cue your gear is secured. The 1Key UltraLock system lets you code multiple boxes on a truck, or a whole fleet, to a single key.
Full-Perimeter Weather Seal A memory-resistant D-shaped, multi-ridge weather strip runs the entire lid perimeter to keep rain, dust and debris off your tools, so your gear stays dry and ready in any weather.
Reinforced Lid With Gas Struts Gas struts hold the reinforced lid open near 90 degrees for easy one-handed access, and welded strut shields protect them from damage. The steel-reinforced lid resists flex and stands up to daily use.
Saddle Fit Across The Bed The box straddles the top bed rails behind the cab, keeping your bed floor open for sheet goods and cargo. Enhanced tie-down buckles and 12V PowerSync-ready access round out a box built for working trucks.
Reinforced Body, Automotive-Grade Hardware Weather Guard specifies a five-piece welded body for the 117-5-04, with a C-channel reinforced front panel and a heavy-duty C-channel reinforced lid, so the box stays square when it is loaded and when someone stands on the lid. The latch is an automotive dual-stage rotary mechanism, the same style a truck door uses, so it pulls the lid down onto the seal instead of relying on a friction catch. A welded gas strut shield keeps loose tools from knocking the strut mount out of line. The D-shaped ribbed weather strip is memory resistant, so it springs back after years of closing rather than taking a set and letting water track in.
Fit guidance: Crossover, or saddle, boxes mount across the truck bed on top of the two bed rails just behind the cab, so the box straddles the bed and leaves the bed floor open. At about 72" wide this size fits standard-width full-size pickups, and because it sits on the rails rather than the bed floor it works with short, standard and long beds on those trucks. This is an extra-wide box, so it needs a full-width full-size bed and will reduce side-to-side reach past the box. Always measure your bed rail width and check clearance behind the cab before ordering. It is not designed for compact or mid-size trucks.
Type: Saddle mount across the top bed rails, clamp-in with no drilling · Time: About 20 to 30 minutes · Tools: Socket or wrench set and a tape measure; no drill needed with the included under-rail clamps · Difficulty: Easy, best done with two people for the lift
Set the box across the two bed rails behind the cab and center it left to right. Hook the included clamps under each bed rail and tighten the hardware evenly so the box sits flat and the lid seals all the way around. Because the box is wide, have a second person help lift and hold it while you clamp it down. Follow the Weather Guard installation instructions for exact clamp placement and torque.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will the 117-5-04 fit my truck?
It is a full-size extra-wide crossover, or saddle, box that mounts across the top bed rails behind the cab, so it fits full-size pickups such as the F-150, Silverado and Sierra 1500 through 3500, Ram 1500 through 3500, Tundra and Titan. It needs about 72" of rail-to-rail width. Measure your bed rails and check clearance behind the cab first, and note it is not designed for compact or mid-size trucks.
Does it require drilling to install?
No. The box ships with under-rail clamps and hardware, so it mounts without drilling into your truck. Most installs take about 20 to 30 minutes and go easiest with two people to lift and hold the box while you clamp it down.
How secure is this Weather Guard box?
It uses the Weather Guard 1Key UltraLock system with tamper-resistant push-button locks that sit recessed when locked, so you get a quick visual cue your gear is secured. The 1Key design also lets you code multiple boxes on a truck or a whole fleet to a single key.
Does the gloss black finish hold up to sun and weather?
Yes. The gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat is a hard, UV-stable and corrosion-resistant coating, and the full-perimeter D-shaped weather seal keeps the contents dry. It resists chips and fading through seasons of loading and road spray.
Will the gloss black finish scratch or show dust easily?
The gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat is a hard, chip-resistant coating built for work trucks, so normal loading and unloading will not mar it easily. Like any glossy surface it can show fine dust, which wipes off with a quick pass of a microfiber cloth.
What is it made of and how big is it?
It is built from welded aluminum diamond plate with a gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat. The exterior measures 72"L x 27-1/2"W x 18-1/2"H with 15.5ft³ of storage, and it ships at about 102 lb, so it is strong yet lighter than a comparable steel box.

So my better than I expected!
Easy to install, I have a F350 and I can fit 4x8’s under this which is critical for me and work. Easy to bolt down and it’s not going anywhere. The locking mechanism is easy to use and allows me to not worry about my tools on sites or parking lots. Worth every penny!

Highly recommend this extra wide tool box!
What a great tool box for my truck! Put it in a 2023 chevy 1500 to store all the stuff I need to carry gear for my guys onsite. Really really happy I got the extra wide box. It makes such a big difference. It's got some great weather seals that keep all my stuff dry. I even tried giving it a few deliberate sprays when washing the truck to test it and it stayed dry. The locks are great in that you can unlock one side (and leave the other locked) and open the tool box. They are also conveniently located so you don't have to get into the bed of the truck to open the box or lock/unlock it. When I need another box for new trucks I will definitely be getting another one of these. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

I’ve been using this comercially for years. It never leaks. This extra wide and extra deep model has great capacity. Thicker walls than the less expensive defender series. I raised mine with aluminum spacers to fit more long material in my truck bed beneath the box. Love the automotive style locks and latches

Disappointed
117-52-02 on a 2017 F-350. Been using Weatherguard products for decades and very disappointed in this box. As other reviews have said you have to get into the bed and push this lid from the center to get this box to positively latch on both sides. Even with a 3rd step on my truck and stretching acoss the box and slamming it will not close the opposite latch.

This is a great box
This box has lots of room for tools and i don't have to put some in the cab like the last one. The lid latches on both sides no matter which side of the truck you're on. The only issue I had is the keys that came with it one was bent in a z shape and i mentioned it during registration and haven't gotten any reply from the company.

Tool box is well built, heavy duty. I have owned numerous weatherguard boxes before and they all work well for the demanding professional or serious truck lover. 4 stars due to the fact that it takes some love to make it latch. havent had time to tinker with it but assume the gaskets are tight and latches need to be adjusted to make it work correctly..Well Worth The Money overall!
