Keep tools locked down and off the bed floor with the Weather Guard 164-6-04 lo-side truck tool box. This 87" box wears a gunmetal gray ARMOR TUF finish over aluminum diamond plate. Gunmetal gray sits between bright aluminum and blacked-out, a modern metallic tone that looks factory-fresh next to today's gray and silver trucks. It mounts on top of one bed side rail so it rides low, preserves your rear visibility and leaves the bed floor open for sheet goods and cargo, and it locks down 7.0ft³ of weather-sealed storage behind the tamper-resistant 1Key UltraLock push-button lock. Aluminum keeps it lighter than a comparable steel box, so it will not eat into your payload.

Features
87" of Secure Side-Rail Storage At 87" long the 164-6-04 runs along one bed side rail and gives you 7.0ft³ of lockable, organized storage while keeping the rest of the bed floor clear. It swallows long levels, pipe and power tools that will not fit a shorter box.
Gunmetal Diamond Plate Finish A Gunmetal Gray ARMOR TUF powder coat gives the aluminum diamond plate a modern, metallic-gray tone that resists corrosion and fading. It is an easy match for gray, silver and blacked-out trucks that want something other than plain bright aluminum.
Modern Metallic Tone Gunmetal gray is the understated, modern pick, and it blends in cleanly with gray, silver, charcoal and black trucks. It gives you something more distinctive than bright aluminum without going fully blacked-out.
Organized With a Removable Tray A removable tray rides up top for fasteners and hand tools while longer items stow below, so your kit stays sorted instead of sliding around the box. It lifts out when you need the full depth for bigger gear.
1Key UltraLock Security A tamper-resistant lock pairs a keyed cylinder with a recessed red push-button that sits flush when locked, giving you a quick visual cue your gear is secured. The 1Key system lets you code multiple boxes on a truck or a whole fleet to one key.
Enhanced Tie-Downs and 12V Access Enhanced tie-down buckles give extra clearance for universal or multiple straps so you can lash cargo down on the lid, and a 12V access point supports electrical upfits when you add them.
Reinforced Body, Automotive-Grade Hardware Weather Guard specifies a heavy-duty welded body for the 164-6-04, 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: Lo-Side boxes mount on top of one bed side rail and run most of the length of the bed, so they keep the bed floor open and do not block the rear window. At 87" long this box needs a full-size 8' long bed. It will not fit standard 6'6" or short 5'6" beds. It can mount on either the driver or passenger side rail. Always measure your bed side rail length and confirm clearance before ordering.

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.

Protect Your Gear and Your Reputation
Weather Guard's own film on why a working truck earns its keep from what is bolted to it. It frames the boxes, racks and bed equipment as the difference between arriving ready and arriving short, which is the thing a customer actually notices.
It is a short manufacturer-made overview rather than a product demo, so watch it for the why rather than the how. If you are outfitting a truck from scratch it is a useful place to start before you pick individual part numbers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
What bed size do I need for the 164-6-04?
This box is 87" long, so it needs a full-size pickup with an 8' long bed. It will not fit a standard 6'6" or short 5'6" bed. It mounts on top of one bed side rail, so measure your side rail length and confirm clearance before ordering.
What is the finish on the 164-6-04?
It is aluminum diamond plate finished in Gunmetal Gray ARMOR TUF powder coat, an understated metallic gray. It resists corrosion and fading and pairs cleanly with gray, silver and blacked-out trucks.
What trucks does gunmetal look best on?
Gunmetal gray looks factory-right on gray, silver, charcoal and black trucks, and it is a clean step up from plain bright aluminum. Choose it when you want a modern, understated look rather than a fully blacked-out box.
Can I run electrical accessories with it?
Yes. The box includes 12V access for electrical upfits, so you can wire in lights or other accessories, and enhanced tie-down buckles give you extra clearance for straps on the lid.
How does it lock?
It uses the Weather Guard 1Key UltraLock, a tamper-resistant design that pairs a keyed cylinder with a recessed red push-button that sits flush when locked. The 1Key system also lets you code multiple boxes on a truck or an entire fleet to a single key.
Does it require drilling to install?
No. The box ships with under-rail clamps and hardware, so it mounts on top of either bed side rail without drilling into your truck. Most installs take about 20 to 30 minutes, and a second person makes the longer box much easier to lift and hold while you clamp it down.

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.
