Tractor supply has a truck storage box for $99 that is a perfect fit for the rear area even with the factory tailgate.

Storage box
Yes sir! There's a guy on youtube who installed his with rivet nuts. I did the same and it turned out clean! Used some M10 hand screws on the inside for no-tool on and off.

 

[Rocky Heap]

did you add the twin rubber lid clasps? Mine just has the center clasp/lock.

How would this workout as a cooler? Have you tried?

 

[Rocky Heap]

I'd say that it's too big as a cooler approx 32 x 15 x 12 tall.

In front of it, in the curve of the bed, is enough room for a 6 pack sized soft sided cooler.

Maybe I could fit a cooler inside it. Not bad for $99. How do you install the rivet nuts?

 

[Thumper]

Don't want to steal this guy's thunder, so here's what I followed (more or less).

I did modify the clasp. Took out the middle one, sealed the holes, with silicone, and added the rubber clasps with some rivets.

I was gettig some dust in the box, but added some strips of door gasket to the lid and it's air tight.

The walls are thin, so it wouldn't be much of a cooler by itself.

The rivet nut tool you can get on Amazon (along with everything else, of course).

Liking the idea!!

yea it fits nice..I knocked off the latch and installed two barrel latches on each side and drilled a hole in the Krx tail box.. works out nice..

This box also fits nicely. Better made than the TSC box in my opinion, and cheaper $ as well.

The guy in the video talks about a pin pull, does anyone know where to source one? Part number?

has anyone found a box that will fit with the kawi rear cargo tailgate?

 

[Rocky Heap]

My tailgate is a standard kawi unit, and have almost 3" of clearance between box and tailgate.

I've see photos on a KRX facebook page of the cargo tailgate and the tractor supply box fits perfect flush. the guy had to mount lid latches on the sides of the box.

what latches are those and did you secure it the same as the other people are doing with the TS box with the rivnuts?

I did not use rivnuts, wanted to be able to easily remove it. I use short ratchet straps and the factory anchor points in the bed. Works like a charm...

Had to find something that would fit in the flat space on the box and couldn't be too long in the strap.
