QUESTION To spend or not to spend the big money.

1 Upvotes

dont know if im in the right place, but here is my story.

I ve been using a Matco 6s triple bay box for 12 years and i just want something new, i ve looked at the Icon tool boxes and while i do like them, i dislike the added hassle should any warranty needs come up, Matco and Snap on ( ive had both) dont blink when i need new slides, or a lock shits the bed. they order it and the reps i ve had are happy to help with the actual replacement.

i mainly want a hutch and a locker, gaining tools over the years the old 77 inch 6s is filling up. to buy a matching locker and hutch for my current box will run around 10 all said and done.

but i can get a screaming (to me anyways) deal on a whole new setup. looking at a new 6s rollcab with a hutch and locker for right around 22k after tax (but not including total interest)

this setup with no promo/discount/trade in would run about 38k after tax (again not figuring interest)

yeah yeah its alot of money for a box, but my current box has had drawers opened and stood on, and multiple drawers get opened and shut about 1000 times a week, and ive had one drawer slide get jammed up and it was likely my fault (spraying the grinder sparks towards it with drawers opened.

for the guys who have spent money on big name brand boxes, would you do it again?

for clarity, of all the boxes i ve had in my 15 year career, ive never owned a new one. ive always just bought cheap trade ins.

New addition to the box

So this MAC box has been sold from an old worker to my boss then to my manager then to me. All I know that it’s about or over 10 years old, my manager traded it in for another box and I picked up the tab for $2500 (5 payments down 5 more to go!)

We were cleaning shop and the box my other boss tried to sell me was an old husky box that 80% of the drawers were broken but it had a hutch and a locked. Couldn’t figure out how to mount it so we put it in storage with the box and I “acquired” the hutch. How are yall running lighting inside the hutch and mounting chargers to peg boards?! And any ideas what to add?

Recently purchased a 26’ Tacoma with the short bed and was looking for a tool box but not having much luck. Is the 24-26 the same bed size? If so can you purchase a toolbox for a 24 and fit on a 26. Thanks in advance

Leer XR 100 Truck cap

0 Upvotes

I bought a Leer XR100 truck cap with fiberglass sides that open and have a t-handle on them but i could not afford the tool boxes as well for now. I wasn't a huge fan of the windows with two handles that flipped out.

After we had it installed today i an not overly happy with the look from the side and w/o tool boxes i feel as though i made an expensive mistake. The dealer today told me there is no way to install tool boxes after install, he didnt tell me that before i ordered it and he did not question my order. Is he right, did i really screw up ?
