What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna be checking out this is UWS Secure Lock Crossover and Low Profile toolbox. It also has a BedRug insert on the inside. Let's check it out. We have room for a bunch of our cases with our tools already in there. It's nice that they're in there and we want it organized at least, not just sliding around in the bed.

This one is unique because it's got this BedRug at the bottom. I'll move this out of the way so you can see it. You got a BedRug here that has a hook and loop attachment so it can come out if you need to clean it. So that's gonna make it easier, you don't have to worry about it being stuck down there and being a pain to clean out if you need to do that. So it rips right outta there.

But I like it in there because it's also a sound dampening for the toolbox. A lot of complaints is if you just put loose tools in the bottom, you're driving around, you'll hear that rattling and movement. This makes it a little bit easier if I drop this in there. It's not as loud. This isn't metal, so it's not really the best example but like the screw drivers.

Those'll be far louder if I drop them on just a regular box. Now with the screwdrivers, put 'em back in place. It actually has the screwdriver organizer right here. So I like that aspect too, so you don't have to throw them in the bottom of the toolbox. And a nice thing about this is some of the toolboxes, the screwdriver holder is in the way of the gas strut.

So I like that the gas strut has its own section here. I don't have to worry about, when I close this lid, where the taller screwdrivers are or it could hit that and damage it. There's also a BedRug inserts on the sides of the toolbox. We just can't put ours in today because you'd have to cut it around where you put the hardware and the hardware's gonna be a J-hook that goes and connects underneath the bed rail and you have a washer and a nut up top to tighten that down. Really easy to install and holds it really well. I just wanna explain the low profile design. That means it's only gonna sit up about two inches from your bed rails. So it's not gonna get in the way of the back headrest whatsoever. It's underneath there. It's not gonna be in the way when you're looking in that back mirror. Another thing I mentioned in the beginning is that it's a crossover style, which that means it's gonna have a little bit of a gap at the bottom so you can still put longer loads in the back of your truck and use the truck bed. I really like that features, where it's not gonna be as deep as some of the other toolboxes. So it's not gonna fit as much tools, but I would rather be able to use the truck bed still if I needed to. Now let's open the box and check it out. First up, on the outside will be the secure lock latches. So it's a little bit different than normal ones where you just kind of pull on that metal piece to open it up. You're gonna actually turn the handle and they work in unison. You'll see if I turn this one, the one on the other side turns it the same time. And then you can lift up the lid. Now the lid's not gonna pop right up on its own. You'll have to get to about here and it'll go up. So maybe it's even further than that. So it doesn't fall right back down until you get it right there. It's gonna hold in place. Then a little bit past that, it'll pop up and go up on its own. So one more time just to get a better idea. About here, it's not going to click in there. Now, it'll hold itself up. And then from there it'll pop open. When I turn the handles up front, you'll see that the catches here move at the same time, like I said, and that rod in between them is what connects them and makes it work like that. I like that there's also a shield here in front of it, so just in case you're throwing heavy things in here, you're not gonna hit that rod and bend it or break it and cause it not to be able to use in the same way. Sometimes these tool boxes have trays in them and there's been complaints that the metal ones rattle a whole bunch. Well, luckily this one has a plastic tray that goes from either side of the toolbox, thanks Tom, and whatever side you need it on, you can slide it to. So we have just some drills and batteries up here that you might need anywhere. Easier to reach in because it's a little higher than the bottom of the box. So you can just reach in and grab it far easier. Take look at the lid of the box. We have these strikers here. I like that those are adjustable so you can loosen both of these and move them back and forth. That way it latches the first try every time like it did when it's brand new. Now this o
