First, I will understand if you give me grief for lack of originality, but I just picked up a new tow pig:
Here it is next to the old tow pig.
In the old tow pig, I ran a sliding Truck Covers USA bed cover and tool box. Waterproof, secure, and durable:
But, I was always running out of space - especially on big trips like Moab.
So for the new pig I am considering a topper. I do still want to run a tool box in the front mounted up a bit off the floor so I can still get full sheets of plywood, etc., in the bed. But I’m concerned it will be a pain to get to the tools having to crawl into the bed every time. Perhaps side opening windows would help? Will a tool box like this even work with a topper?
I’d like it to be lockable - ideally somehow locked by the locking tailgate - waterproof, and styled to match the lines of the truck.
Any recommendations for a good solution? I’ve looked at several, all in the 3-5 grand range. Any names to stay away from? Any other issues with a topper setup? Any other solutions I should consider?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff
