Build the most sorted, widest tool chest in the line with the Weather Guard 9988-3-01 mechanics-grade cabinet, eight wide drawers in an 18" column. It combines the maximum drawer count of the eight-drawer units with the extra width of the 18" line, so long wrenches, pry bars, larger meters and boxed accessories each get their own wide drawer and nothing lies diagonally or gets buried. Every drawer rides on ball-bearing rollers, pulls out on an easy-to-grip handle and latches shut so it holds even when the cabinet is unlocked and the road turns rough. It stacks with other 18" Weather Guard cabinets, and the welded Brite White steel body mounts to 13" or 16" deep shelving with the correct bracket.
What's Included:
9988 Series mechanics-grade 8-drawer cabinet in Brite White steel (18" wide)
Eight wide self-latching drawers on ball-bearing rollers
Easy-to-grip drawer handles (built in)
Weather Guard installation instructions
Features
Eight Wide Drawers, Maximum Sorting Eight drawers at 18" wide combine top drawer count with extra width, so long wrenches, pry bars, larger meters and boxed accessories each get their own wide drawer and lie flat instead of jamming diagonally.
Ball-Bearing Glide, Easy-Grip Handles Every drawer rides on smooth ball-bearing rollers and pulls out on an easy-to-grip handle, so opening any of the eight wide drawers is quick and clean even with gloves on.
Drawers Latch Shut in Transit Each of the eight drawers latches closed and holds even when the cabinet is unlocked, so a full load of tools stays put on hard stops and washboard roads.
Stacks With 18" Cabinets The 9988 stacks with other 18" wide Weather Guard cabinets, so you can pair it with the four-drawer 9984 and build a matching, wider storage tower.
Brite White ARMOR TUF Powder Coat A welded steel body with a Brite White ARMOR TUF powder coat resists moisture, scuffs and grime and keeps the cabinet looking clean through years of van duty.

Van Shelf Back Panels and Door Accessories Install
Weather Guard's step-by-step guide covers fitting the back panels and door accessories that turn an open van shelf unit into a closed, secure one. Back panels stop small parts dropping down behind the shelving, and the doors keep contents in place and out of sight.
It is the reference to use when you are adding to shelving you already own. Because it is the manufacturer's own video, it shows the correct fixing points and the order the parts go together.
Conquer the Chaos in Your Work Van
Weather Guard's own short film on van storage, built around the difference between a van you have to dig through and one where every item has a home. It shows the Weather Guard van range working as a single interior rather than as separate parts bolted in over time.
It is a useful orientation if you are planning an upfit and are not sure where to start. Because it is manufacturer content, the shelving, bins and flooring shown are the current Weather Guard line rather than an older catalog.
Installation Help for Your Van Accessories
Weather Guard made this video for anyone who would rather not tackle a van upfit alone. It covers the installation support Weather Guard offers on its van accessories and how to get a fitment question answered before it becomes a problem.
Watch it before you start if this is your first upfit. Knowing the support route in advance is usually what keeps a Saturday install from turning into a Monday phone call.
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
What makes the 9988-3-01 the top of the line?
It combines the eight-drawer count with the 18" width, so it is the most sorted, widest single cabinet, eight wide drawers for long tools and big boxes, all in one column.
Do the wide drawers glide well when loaded?
Yes. Every drawer rides on ball-bearing rollers and pulls out on an easy-to-grip handle, so even a wide, fully loaded drawer opens cleanly with gloves on.
Do the drawers stay shut in transit?
Yes. Each of the eight drawers latches closed and holds even when the cabinet is unlocked, so a full load stays put on hard stops and rough roads.
What can I stack it with?
It stacks with other 18" wide Weather Guard cabinets, such as the four-drawer 9984, to build a matching wider storage tower. It does not stack with the 16" line.
Does it come with a bracket?
No. The mounting bracket is sold separately. Order Model 9993-3-01 for 13" deep shelving or Model 9996-3-01 for 16" deep shelving.
How big is it and what does it weigh?
About 18" wide, 24" high and roughly 13.63" deep, shipping at about 60 pounds. It is welded steel with a Brite White ARMOR TUF powder coat.

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.
