Blacked-out and built to work, the Weather Guard 126-5-04 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, standard steel saddle box straddles the top bed rails behind the cab and gives you 11.0ft³ of heavy-duty, weather-sealed storage while leaving the bed floor open. A heavy-duty formed steel body with a reinforced lid stands up to jobsite abuse, and a full-perimeter D-shaped weather seal locks out rain and dust.
What's Included:
126 Series full-size standard steel 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
Heavy-Duty Steel Build A heavy-duty formed steel body with a reinforced lid and front panel stands up to years of loading, weather and road abuse. Steel gives this box maximum strength and a solid, secure feel. 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 126-5-04, 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. 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 126-5-04 fit my truck?
It is a full-size standard 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 heavy-duty formed steel with a gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat. The exterior measures 72"L x 20"W x 18"H with 11.0ft³ of storage, and it ships at about 123 lb, so it is heavy-duty and built to last.

Nearly perfect
The quality of this box is second to none. It is well built and the tray layout is very efficient. Two things I see that prevent this from being 5 stars. First the mounting brackets need to be wider to offer an more secure fit on trucks with plastic rail covers. They work but are not as secure as I would prefer. Second for a box that costs as much as this one does they should include a plug kit for the mounting bolt holes. For those of us in rainy climates water does get in the box through the holes. Duct tape fixed it for me but it is an engineering oversight in my opinion.

Love the toolbox but..
The toolbox has served me well for the 2 years that I've had it. Overall still in great condition but as i had read in some reviews before i bought it, there seemed to be issues with workmanship. For my unit, the welds were not ground down at all on the outsides of the box, which when i first got it, thought nothing of it. But about 1.5 years into owning it I started to notice rust forming from underneath the paint from those areas with bulging welds, more specifically on both front edges of the box were the lock buttons are. I guess this is bound to happen over time, but it seems those bulging welds that were not ground down only increased the speed of the rust forming. Since they are not flat & uniform. Anyways overall, i still like it, but may go for a higher end toolbox in the future if i continue to see more rust from underneath the paint which is is impossible to detect before…

Very nice toolbox, glad they offer it in this white powder coated steel option, should hop
Very nice toolbox, glad they offer it in this white powder coated steel option, should hopefully last a long time and can't see any reasons why it wouldn't. Opens and closes very smooth, stays water tight, and the locking mechanisms are superior to many other toolbox brands. Has a lot of space inside and even came with a couple extra things like a bolt/screw organizer and clips to hold a level. The mounting system was very simple yet rugged and solid, and the 2 loops on the front are perfect for strapping down things like gas cans and propane tanks etc. Overall very happy with this product and highly recommend it to anyone willing to spend the extra money for the high quality that it is.

Solid box, questionable workmanship!
I am happy with the design of the box, solid and secure. However, the quality control and workmanship are equal to overseas at best. You will see in the photos, incomplete powder coat coverage. Poor or in-completed prep work before the powder coat, and tasks completely missed. Sure, these are not major issues, but this is a premium priced box, and therefore judged as such. Would I recommend Weatherguard? Yes, but with a word of caution. American design, Overseas build quality!

The box is good, locks operate like butter. Both locks engage when closing by simple pushing firmly on one side of the box. As good as this box is I can't say it's worth the price point (to me). Fit and finish is ok as some spots were not consistent with powder coating. Also, I would have liked a little thicker material. That's why I give it a 4 stars and not the 5. I'm out.
