I am thinking about adding one of these to the passenger side of the bed. Would be a great place to store a towing draw bar, cargo straps, bungees. Originally thought I might want one on the drivers side, but I have power outlets that would be covered up, and Im thinking they might even interfere with the swing box.
I have a couple of questions I am hoping someone might answer. One, with the swing box in place, can you still slide a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood between the wheel wells, or would the box have to be removed? Also, are the 2 tie downs on the passenger side now removed to make room for the box? I use those often to keep things tight to the tailgate, and not sliding forward.

I have one on driver side. I figured I'd only use the outlets when stopped and can move box easily. I didn't have to remove any tie downs to do the driver side and it doesn't look like it sticks into the bed anymore than the wheel wells so I'd guess a 4x8 sheet would still fit?
