Okay. So hear me out here lol
I kinda like the idea, but I also think, “what the hell are you thinking”
One flaw about the lightning and having a system. Absolutely no storage space.
I was thinking, is it possible to add one of those swinging tool boxes the newer fords have?
would be awesome to hold some tools, pliers, etc
I usually have a tool box in each vehicle, even if it’s one of those 90 pc sets.
I have soft tonneau cover; so it would be nice to be able to lock some tools in there

wonder if it can be modded to Fit. Need the dimensions

 

[SVTKING692]

Okay, literally just found out that they fit lol 😂😂
But how to find a way to not drill the bed? Ideas anyone?

Kickass username. My tinted passenger window isn't tinted anymore. Bc I clipped the glass throwing a beer bottle out of the window. -26 Minnesota that was a long ride home next day in snowboarding pants.

Let me know if you find a way. I've always liked them

I actually like this idea however I wouldn't want to drill/cut through my Bedrug to achieve it.

This would be good for when we have long cruises, and lord knows one of us will break something... lmao

I just got my bed rug 😅
I was thinking the same lol
Then again I almost bought one with 4 screw holes cuz the owner had nitrous in the bed

Exactly lol
But even for short rides, I hate not having something to help me out if something happens

Basically the same as drilling? Never used this

When I travel down to Florida for the various meets there I typically toss a tool box in the bed along with luggage and a racing jack. I also have a large thick piece of cardboard in the bed to keep the Bedrug as pristine as possible....

you see;the reason I bought this lightning was so I could mod it
Has high miles, so doesn’t hurt lol
I also want a low mile L, I even have almost brand new oem tonneau cover for when/if I ever get it lol just put away.
so more I think about it,I don’t want to drill, but if there is no way around it lol
But I get you. I want things pristine also

i was about to get one of the Milwaukee packout kits for the drive to Indy this summer in case something happened, but COVID nixed that idea

Pretty cool tool box, I never knew those existed. That being said, my truck has a hard bed cover on it and a BedRug. I keep the bed cover locked at all times, it's like having a huge trunk. My spare is in there up behind the passenger side seat. I keep a black milk crate at the passenger side rear corner with all the things I need, tools, jack, breaker bar tire iron with 22 mm socket on it, jumper cables, can of fix a flat, tubeless tire repair kit and small electric air pump.

OK. So I went down to my garage to look at the Bedrug and how it's mounted in the bed. I'm thinking you might be able to install that box behind the rug and it would sandwich the rug between the box and the mount.

I've seen these tool boxes when I play around with Ford's build it feature for the new F-150's which they also offer a new Bedrug just like these for the new trucks.

 

[SVTKING692]

Only thing I plan on having

would everything fit in here? Lol would be better than a milk crate though

Yeah. That would make it a hard pass for me. LOL

I'd rather get a between the rails box and use a cargo bar to keep it in place.

Only thing I could think of is adding Velcro. The one I used for installing my bed rug was industrial and apparently very 2 inches holds 10 lbs. but that would probably mess with your bed rug also

The only thing I plan on having right now is my Adam’s trunk kit lol wife got it for me
