Features

  • Aluminum doors and hinges: Every model, steel bodies included, hangs its doors on aluminum hinges with aluminum door panels, which trims weight and will not rust the way bare steel can.
  • Rain gutter and weather seal: A gutter above each door opening channels rain away, and a ribbed D-shaped seal that resists taking a set closes the gap around the door to keep tools dry.
  • Tool-free QuickClip doors: QuickClips let you set each door to swing out to 90 degrees or fold back to 180 degrees, and you change it by hand with no tools.
  • Drill-resistant lock: Each door locks with a D-handle latch over a drill-resistant lock core, and a three-point latching system holds the door at several spots, not just one.
  • Removable parts bin: A lift-out parts bin keeps screws, fittings and small hand tools sorted, and you can pull it out to carry to the job.
  • Reinforced, welded build: Weather Guard welds the body and reinforces the lids with C-channel, rating the line for maximum durability with extreme security.

Description & Fitment

This Hi-Side box, part 396-0-02, runs 96" along the rail in aluminum diamond plate with a bright aluminum finish. It measures 96.25" L x 13.25" W x 16" H and holds 11.8 ft³, at 73 lb. The door openings are 12.75" H x 45" W each, so bulky gear goes in from the side.

About Weather Guard

WEATHER GUARD.

Weather Guard is the truck and van storage brand of Werner Co., the Illinois company also known for its ladders. Its tool boxes are built in the USA, and the line runs from crossover, Lo-Side and gull-wing boxes to chests, underbody boxes, bed drawers, transfer tanks, ladder racks and van shelving.

Weather Guard's current boxes use the 1Key UltraLock, a red push-button lock you can code so one key opens every box on a truck or across a fleet, and many are finished in ARMOR TUF powder coat.

Buying Weather Guard from Prestige Truck. Weather Guard asks for the original sales receipt with any warranty claim, so keep your Prestige Truck order receipt with your records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will it fit a Ram 2500?

It is on our fitment list for that truck. Bed rails differ by bed length, so measure the usable length of your side rail against this 96" box (96.25" overall) before ordering.

Will it fit a Toyota Tundra or Nissan Titan?

Those trucks are not on our fitment list for the 96" length. The 64" and 72" Hi-Side boxes list them.

Do I have to drill my truck?

Yes. Weather Guard's sheet has you drill 3/8" holes in the box and 1/2" holes in the bed floor, where blind fasteners anchor the two legs, and a stake pocket under a J-bolt line may need its own 1/2" hole. Look under the bed for fuel lines, the tank and wiring before drilling, and on an aluminum bed coat the holes with zinc-rich primer.

Can I mount it on a ladder rack or a stake bed?

Not on a ladder rack: Weather Guard warns that bolting this box to a rack will damage its structure. In a pickup it must go on with the supplied legs. On a stake bed the pickup steps do not apply, and the box needs its bottom fully supported or structural mounting instead.

How do the QuickClip doors work?

Each door has QuickClips that set it to stop at 90 degrees or swing all the way to 180 degrees. You switch between the two by hand, with no tools needed.

Steel or aluminum?

Weather Guard builds both on the same layouts. Steel adds weight: the 90" steel 290 is listed at 124 lb, while the aluminum 390 of the same size and 11.1 ft³ is 74 lb. Several steel models list a 14-ga or 16-ga body.

Installation

Install time Not printed on Weather Guard's install sheet
DifficultyNot printed on Weather Guard's install sheet
TypeHi-Side box on top of one bed side rail, set on mounting pads and held by two legs bolted to the bed floor with blind fasteners in drilled holes, plus J-bolts hooked under the bed lip (Weather Guard Hi-Side and Super-Side installation instructions 24-0295)
Toolselectric drill with 3/8" and 1/2" bits, two 1/2" and 9/16" open or box wrenches, carpenter's square, tape measure, tape, marker and a utility knife

Here's the short version. Follow Weather Guard's install sheet (below) for the exact positions and hardware.

  1. Park as level as you can. Turn the box over and mark a 6" line 7/8" in from each end (extra center lines on the long models listed on p3).
  2. Tape the mounting pads to the bed rail. Set the box on the rail, support the rear, square and level it.
  3. Hold each leg square near the rear corner and mark the leg holes on the box and the bed floor; mark where the bed lip meets the box underside and any stake pocket.
  4. Remove the box. Drill box marks 3/8" and floor marks 1/2", set the blind fasteners in the floor, and bolt the legs to the box.
  5. Fit the J-bolts with the retaining washer, fender washer and nylon lock nut (nut 1/4 turn into the nylon), then set the box on the truck.
  6. Bolt the leg feet to the floor and turn the J-bolts under the bed lip. On aluminum beds use vinyl tape between J-bolt and bed. Never bolt this box to a ladder rack.

    Weather Guard backs this box with its Limited Lifetime Warranty, issued by Werner Co.: the box is warranted against defects in material and workmanship for its expected lifetime, counted from the day you buy it.
    • Only the original purchaser is covered, and coverage ends if the box passes to a new owner.
    • Every claim needs a copy of the original sales receipt, so keep your Prestige Truck order receipt with your records.
    • Werner Co. picks the remedy: it repairs the faulty part or replaces the whole box at no charge for parts or labor, or it may refund what you paid or issue a credit toward a new Weather Guard product.
    • Not covered: normal wear and tear, cosmetic rust, scratches, accident damage, repairs Werner Co. did not authorize, misuse, overloading, or a box that was not mounted or used as Weather Guard's written instructions describe. Damage to what is stored in the box or to the vehicle is excluded too.
    • Where the law allows, Werner Co. accepts no liability for incidental, special, indirect or consequential damages, economic loss included. This is the only express warranty on Weather Guard products, and no dealer can change it.

The box is well made, perfect for what I need it for. Shipping was really fast. The only problem with delivery, pallet had a bent over nail sticking up. The box was shipped face down so front door of box was scratched ( a lot ). Maybe more care should be taken in the shipping department.

The size was perfect to sit on top of my utility truck boxes. I like the latches. Very good quality. The aluminum doors was a nice touch so they’re not very heavy .
