How to Install UnderCover Swing Case Truck Bed Tool Box

[@bigcountry5520]

You could also just place the box on a 2x4 and mount it. It's always handy to have spacing set to 2x4. It just works.

[@wtz650]

he's not smart enough to think of that that was the first thing I thought of ....2x4 ! ...done

[@aekuterbach1]

Him holding up the box while marking the hole was the funniest things I saw today! Ty!😂

[@rds990]

Just installed my driver side case today....2019 F150. Piece of cake to install.....maybe 15-20 minutes. Great case for sure. No rattle or water incursion. LOVE it so far. I store photo gear (tripods/lenses etc) in it when out shooting for realtors and custom home builders. I use foam padding inside. Fantastic.

[@TREMERE1]

Stick a 2 x 4 under it to mark the holes.

[@deplorablechump8758]

Bought a similar tool box but the package didn’t include the installation instructions. I was about to return it. Glad that I saw your video. Thanks

[@Realtruck]

Glad I could help!

[@christishepherd2676]

Bought this from my husband for Christmas, installation was easy-peasy thank you for the video to do it!!! Really helped not to have to measure where to put it and just use your guide. Thanks!!

[@Realtruck]

Glad it helped!

[@ducatii360]

My only issue with this is drilling holes into the box that wasn’t meant for it. Water or moisture will ingress and how will the water or moisture escape to prevent rusting over time ??

[@hunterflorez]

They should have used silicone sealant on the screws. I did it with my box

[@nathanpatrick7094]

My question will it work with factory plastic bed cover ?

[@mikebianculli2614]

Do you have video installing swing cases with a bed rug

[@bigmacthebusdriver]

You truly don’t need to attach the case to the brackets for installation, I installed two of these in less than 30 minutes, and they work like a dream!

[@BADMAMERJAMMA]

Well there be any difference with the install if you have a linex liner on the bed?

[@SuperFailTuber]

I hate drilling holes in my truck

[@TheCj71984]

Should be a rivnut instead of a self tapper

[@andrewmaynard7569]

Yeah. Self tappers aren't exactly the high end install one would expect for the price they're asking for these

[@JohnBerry1]

I marked my holes before assembling the two bars together. Also needed pilot holes for the two lower bolts.

[@dono4598]

Installation would have been a lot easier if you put a block under the case and then mark your holes, i.e a 2x4 would have worked for this installation. Also I noticed that the tie-down loop was covered by the bracket, perhaps going a little higher with the bracket would give better access if needed. Anyway quick and easy install. Thanks for the video.

[@swaggerbong]

yup i like my tie down loops in that location for kayaks

[@vinhha6073]

I wonder it's fit on Ranger 2011 xlt ..??

[@firemangsxr]

Will this also work with the DU-HA humpstor ?

[@manny6584]

How good will that work if your truck has a bed liner?

[@Realtruck]

+manny6584 works just fine. You just have to screw through the liner to attach the mounting brackets. If you have the plastic drop in style of bedliner I would also put a bit of gasket sealer in the holes as well to help keep moisture and such from sneaking in around the screws.

[@manny6584]

ok thanks for your quick response.Think im going to pick up one this weekend

[@Realtruck]

+manny6584 Send us a pic or two so we can see your cool install.

[@manny6584]

ok will do

[@biggtimber2736]

would a SC-201 99-14 Model fit a 2019 F150? Thanks!

[@jerrypolete5258]

I like the ones that go in the ford truck as it utilizes existing holes in the Rick so you’re not drilling holes or trying to line anything up you just put the bolts in and it’s already lined up. It’s even easier on the ford truck. The only real difference is 1 you don’t have to have self tappers and 2 the dodge truck will need to utilize these boxes to store all the tow straps it will need so when they break down they can still get home. Lol......

[@bearrugg]

LOL

[@rudygarcia2845]

I put the locking mechanism on the wrong spot for the Box how do you take off that lock

[@supporterofsanity]

Can I still stack sheets of plywood in my bed if I install these?

[@AimForTheBushes908]

Sure if you can afford the plywood

[@tommyordoyne7461]

Do you guys have an under cover storage box that attaches to the front of the bed of a 2022 Ford Ranger?

[@Realtruck]

Unfortunately Undercover does not make a storage box for the space in front of the wheel well.

[@rudygarcia2845]

It's the lock and back that holds it against the wall I put it in the wrong spot how do I take that off

[@joeschlong7633]

are they universal

[@Chris-iz3zb]

Can the whole thing just be lifted out or is it lock to the bracket. Looks like someone could just run off with it

[@1bishw]

If you padlock it, they can’t. I just got one and it came with an additional key lock that fits into the hinges that will also stop it from swinging out, which would stop it from being lifted as well.

[@thunderbolt5354]

Put a 1'' peice of board under the tool box to hold it up for marking holes !

[@1crazynordlander]

Is there one available for the other side or can you turn this bracket around? EDIT: Never mind, there is a passenger side model.

[@mikeh7390]

That was painful to watch. You couldn't have shored it up with a 2x4 or something?

[@Tejtd]

The way he was using that impact made me cringe

[@kapcom6637]

I was wondering if he owns a level. you can tell the box was mounted way off kilter and slanted. Painful indeed.

[@BlueLightsBerlin]

Sometimes I see it fits not with a multipro tailgate on Sierra. Why? What is different?

[@Realtruck]

Hey there! The driver side box would require you to remove the bed step handle that comes with the truck when you have the MultiPro tailgate, and since it requires removing a factory component, they consider it to not fit. Personally, we find that handle to be redundant since the shape of your rear stake pocket hole is shaped to function as a bed step handle already. If you choose to remove the factory MultiPro handle, the 1 bolt and 2 nuts that hold it on can be easily removed with a 13mm wrench. The passenger side box would install like a truck without the MultiPro, but if you have the bed outlet, it will be covered until you swing out the box. Hope that helps!

[@dunrite2019]

Had a set in my last truck. They are trash. Don’t hold up, start sagging if you put anything in them, latches break easily.

[@roadrunnergtx68]

They sag from the vibration when driving. Self tappers and sheet metal are not a good cocktail. A thru bolt and a plate washer on the inside is the correct application. Question is, how do you install the plate washer?

[@stonehengechimp]

With this informative video the install was a snap

[@York407]

Have them showing up tomorrow can't wait!

[@Noah_E]

Great idea. If they were $250 a pair and made of aluminum I'd be interested. $378 a pair and made of ABS plastic? No thanks

[@antoinettesatchell2169]

How to install swing under cover on 2015 Toyota tundra

[@johnb6014]

Ya it's still that price -_-

[@zacharychapman6731]

For my GMC Canyon they’re on sale on Amazon for $170

[@AnthonyPearse72]

Can get them individually on ebay now for 90-100 a side with shipping included. Just bought one for my ram and it's nearly identical to the legit swing case.

[@randybye6539]

Check eBay. Bought a pair from speedyman $209 to my door. I compared mine to my step sons swing case. Except for name they’re identical. Same plastic, same mounts, same removable tray.

[@GRay142able]

Wow thanks that made things a lot easier my set did not Come With instructions and install was not going well. Allgood now thanks again!👍

[@Realtruck]

Happy we could help!

[@mike97074]

Look like you can pull the corners up easily well the case is closed an locked.

[@DieselFreak777]

Only downside is that it blocks the tiedowns

[@dominicromito7864]

Can you install a little higher to allow tie downs? I thought the same thing. Then you can detach the box for tie down loads.

[@paulstradley9157]

I like these! Need to order a set soon.

[@glawton69]

Ebay

[@themereffects6183]

The case won't latch shut. Now what? The adjustment bracket doesn't help it any...

[@auto87tech73]

Can u line x the case?

[@Realtruck]

I'm sure you would be able to as people line-x just about anything, but it comes in a black finish already.

[@gulayatbp8261]

it would be awesome if it swings 180.

[@Mazel_Tov_888]

Drill holes in my new truck, really. I got a tie down there any way.

[@firstbase4947]

just put a small 2x6 under it and that would lift it up just right for height. easy peasy

[@omarmolina4036]

Got mine today!!! Thanks

[@443534414]

You Rock!!! Thank you for sharing!😀😎

[@TimYorty]

4:40 - any creative thief in a hurry would just cut the padlock.

[@Shonuff_shef]

Nice cooler

[@rudygarcia2845]

It's the one that holds

[@keeblerfam]

If a thief removes the swing bolts only need to pull release to access the front bolts. Not foolproof, but nothing is.

[@SultanofSpey]

The box can be locked in place with a pad lock which would not allow the box to swing. This would deny a scumbag thief access to the front locking bolts. But nothing stops a determined thief (or raccoon).

[@iraira2818]

Yes, thief's are scandalous, but raccoons are worst; they dig holes all over my yard 😠!

[@robertpreston6995]

One block of wood would have made all that so much easier.

[@tonycdot]

Check out the video called “swing Case Problems...” does not do what they say it does on 2019 Chevy and GMC and they will not make it right

[@scott6052]

Not a fan of drilling holes in a 40, 50, $60.000 dollar truck.

[@josephjones8124]

Well that's what you gotta do to turn a 60k truck to a 200k truck I did it but it's how you do it and how you clean it to look manufactured

[@kevinkiser9553]

Just installed one in a 2021 F250 and no drilling. Uses existing holes.

[@garryholcomb993]

Then don't get a truck. Trucks are for work.

[@niniononousmak2877]

its plastic!!

[@chiefnofeathers1067]

i think ford has tool box that you do not need to drill holes. just use existing holes in bed. of course that only helps f150 owners.

[@jeffeskew8938]

A flat top would be better

[@bryanr.3241]

Wish the manufacturer has come up with a bracket for installing these on both sides of the 2019 and 2020 Tacoma's. Don't try telling me they do either , because "Real Truck" was on phone with manufacturer and was told nope , we have not designed one to fit the 2019 and 2020 Tacoma's yet. But will they ever ?? 🙄

[@MultiBeachman]

Not smart signing.

[@EighteAchD33]

Effectually rust

[@EighteAchD33]

Exposed metal. No paint covering the stripped metal

[@glenbo02]

They're OK tool boxes for being cheap plastic, but the worst part is the factory won't sell the mounting brackets for another truck in case you buy something else and want to move them. That's pure chickenshit and I hope they go out of business.

[@mikebianculli2614]

I like the swing out case but for the price at 398. Plus taxes the should come with the lock 🔒 come on don’t be so cheap

[@reycangri]

How about if the bed had a liner, will this still work?

[@Jose-vg3yq]

Would this fit on my 97 dodge Dakota. I have a cover on my bed

[@Realtruck]

Jose, it will! You can find it here, realtruck.com/p/undercover-swing-case-truck-bed-toolbox/v/dodge/dakota/1997/. Hope that helps!
