Blacked-out and built to work, the Weather Guard 137-5-04 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 compact, deep aluminum saddle box is sized for mid-size trucks and mounts across the bed rails behind the cab, adding depth for bulkier gear with 9.0ft³ of secured, weather-sealed storage. 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:
137 Series mid-size deep 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 137-5-04, 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: This is a compact, mid-size crossover box that mounts across the two bed rails just behind the cab, so it straddles the bed and leaves the bed floor open. At about 62" wide it is sized for mid-size pickups such as the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. Because it sits on the rails rather than the bed floor, it works with short and long mid-size beds. Always measure your bed rail width and check clearance behind the cab before ordering.

How the 1Key UltraLock System Works
A step-by-step look from Weather Guard at what the 1Key UltraLock actually does: how the cylinder accepts a new code, why the red push button retracts when the box is locked, and how the latch pulls the lid down against the seal. Worth two minutes before you set the box up.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Will the 137-5-04 fit my truck?
This is a compact, mid-size crossover box about 62" wide, so it fits mid-size pickups such as the Chevrolet Colorado, GMC Canyon, Ford Ranger, Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier. It mounts across the top bed rails behind the cab. Measure your bed rail width and check clearance behind the cab first, and note it is shorter than a full-size crossover box.
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 62"L x 20"W x 18"H with 9.0ft³ of storage, and it ships at about 76 lb, so it is strong yet lighter than a comparable steel box.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
