Weather Guard 550 Jumbo Underbed Truck Tool Box, 48 in Black Steel, 16.2 cu ft (550-5-02)

The Weather Guard 550-5-02 is a Jumbo underbed box that combines a long 48" length with a deep 24" body for a big 16.2ft³ of locking storage. That is the room to carry long tools, a full complement of gear and bulky equipment under the deck of a flatbed, platform or dump body without stacking it in the open. Heavy welded steel and a gloss black ARMOR TUF finish resist road salt and spray, and a weathertight drop-down door keeps it all dry. Mounting hardware is not included, so match it to your frame and the loaded weight.

What's Included:

• 550 Jumbo Underbed welded steel truck tool box, gloss black
• Drop-down door with stainless steel locking compression latch
• Three-point latching system with a drill-resistant lock core
• Two door support chains that hold the door as a work shelf
• Full-perimeter weather seal with rain gutter, pre-installed
• Weather Guard installation instructions
• Note: mounting brackets and hardware are not included, choose hardware to suit your frame or body

Features

Heavy Welded Steel Body
The 550-5-02 is built from heavy welded steel, the toughest and most pry-resistant underbody box Weather Guard makes. It stands up to road spray, debris and the beating an underbed box takes on a work truck, keeping your tools secure and protected.

Gloss Black ARMOR TUF Finish
A gloss black ARMOR TUF powder coat covers the welded steel to fight corrosion, chips and fading and give the box a clean, rugged black look. ARMOR TUF is Weather Guard's toughest coating, made to survive the salt, chemicals and weather an underbody box faces.

Weathertight Drop-Down Door
A full drop-down door drops open on two support chains that hold it level as a handy work shelf, then closes against a rain gutter and full-perimeter weather seal. Your tools stay dry and protected from road spray, dust and debris in the 16.2ft³ interior.

Stainless Locking Latch, Three-Point Latching
A stainless steel locking compression latch drives a three-point latching system with a drill-resistant lock core, so gear stays secure and the door pulls tight against the seal. The latch is easy to work even with gloves on.

Tool-Less QuickClip Door
The drop door adjusts from 90 to 180 degrees and pops off with QuickClips, no tools required, so you can drop it flat, use it as a loading shelf, or remove it entirely for full access and clip it back on in seconds.

Mounts Under the Deck, Frees Your Truck
The jumbo 24" deep body mounts on the frame rail below a flatbed, platform, service or dump body, so heavy tools and equipment ride secure and out of the way while your deck or bed stays open. It is the way to add locking storage to a truck with no usable bed floor. Mounting hardware is not included so you can match it to your frame.

Gloved-Hand D-Handle and a Wide Door Opening
The drop door opens wide, so long tools and cases go in from the side of the deck instead of being lifted over a lip. Weather Guard fits a stainless steel D-handle that is easy to grip with gloves on and pulls the door tight against the seal, and the door itself drops level on its chains to work as a shelf.

Installation

Type: Frame-rail mount below the deck, bolt-through (hardware not included)  ·  Time: About 1 to 2 hours  ·  Tools: Drill and bits, wrench or socket set, tape measure, marker, plus frame-appropriate mounting brackets and hardware (not included)  ·  Difficulty: Moderate, plan the mounting points and support the box while you bolt it up

Choose a clear spot on the frame rail below the deck with room for the door to drop open, then mount the box to the frame using brackets and hardware rated for the load (not included). Support the box while you fasten it, and seal any drilled holes with zinc-rich primer to prevent rust. Follow the Weather Guard Aluminum and Steel Underbed Boxes installation manual for hole layout and best practices. Because the box hangs below the deck, use hardware and brackets sized for the weight of the box plus its contents.
