Need a large weather proof box for the bed.

[Buellsox]

Large rolling Milwaukee pack out. Bought it on sale at HD for $200 bucks. Huge thick 1/4” o-ring embedded into the entire lid. Love this thing! Fits below the rails out of view. 2 security padlock holes that are steel embossed not just plastic holes so you can lock it closed. I also have this thing roped locked to my bed tie downs. Huge interior. You could always see it in person at HD to see if it’d accommodate your needs. Also has a lock rod that keeps the lid open for easy loading. Perfect for my son’s nasty soccer gear instead of in the cab after practice.
Here in the PNW we just got pounded with 10” of rain last week and not a drop inside this thing. Thing’s a tank & just a couple padlocks to get it in & out of the bed if I need the space back for hauling something.

Yeti makes a great one, only down side it comes with associated price tag!

Not trying to hijack this thread, but what are your molle panels on each side, particularly the smaller ones on the driver side?

Thanks for this - just ordered it!

My son has the new version in his Ranger! Get some extra Velcro for the tailgate!

They are from my F150 Raptor. they were the front ones, marked the holes and Rivnut into the bed. The jack is in the bed due to the subwoofer in the jack spot behind the seat.

Thanks Gents! Lots of decent options. I like the bag a lot but will also check out the tractor supply box and the box from academy.

This one looks pretty decent for around a $100 bucks.

In bigb’s post above he links to Home Depot’s page. If you scroll down you will see the one with the clear polycarbonate lid. They come in different sizes and are pretty tough. I have 6 of them in the box of my truck. I also have a bigger one I keep birdseed and deer corn in. There is a gasket in the lid, it keeps moisture and bugs out.

I saw those today along with the HUGE 170 Gallon box. I like what you have. I think I need a bed cover to complete this idea. If I do that these boxes will work. Thanks for sharing them.

You are welcome. There are 6 of them and stacked that way they fit under the hard cover. I can move them around, take them out and leave them in the garage or put them all in the backseat if I need the full length of the bed.
I bought a BUNCH of different boxes and tried them out and returned them. Bought some, tried them in the parking lot and returned them in the same trip. These would have been absolutely perfect if the bottom box had been 2” shorter so they could be rotated 90°.

It's not easy figuring out what will work. Sure I could spend 300-600 for some sweet box but I think I would rather have a bed cover and use these simply due to the costs. What cover do you have? Is there a cover that is the best bang for the buck??

Any cheapo amzon tonneau is fine

I bought a Rev folding hard cover from the FORD website. I had 300 dollars worth of points and I paid for the installation. All in with taxes and installation I was right at $1000.
FORD always has some kind of sale, usually 10-20%, I did see 25% once. I think I got it at 15%.
had it a little over a year ago, I am very happy with it. It lets in a small amount of water when I go through the high pressure wash. It is not enough for me to worry about, but sealing the tailgate and the stake pockets would make it 99.9% waterproof. I am about 95% without doing those things.

I recently bought this truck box from Tractor Supply for $319. I added a U-bolt on each side so that I could secure the box to the pickup's tie downs with a turnbuckle and chain link. This also allows me to mount it at the rear of the bed for easy access.

To protect the bulkhead, I placed two kneeling pads sandwiched between the box and bulkhead. It's very secure.

What bed mat do you have there?

It is a Lasfit mat. Clicking that link takes you to an article I wrote about it.

Found one that fits my needs. It's a Pelican Storm Case IM 3075. Bought it used on FB Marketplace. There are a ton of sellers here in FL that buy up these cases from the DOD. Cost me 85 bucks and it's guaranteed for life. I can fit more than 2 range bags in it with room to spare. I would love to find some zip pouches that I can afix to the inside lid for more small storage.
