Video Transcript for Review of Westin Truck ToolBox - Full Length Tool Box - W63YH

Hi everyone, Steve here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at this Westin Brute. It's an extra wide crossover truck toolbox in a nice textured finish and a black color. Now folks, this has been constructed of extra thick, one piece aluminum with a diamond tread, and it's got additional thickness of aluminum reinforcement at the main key stress points throughout the toolbox so you can be sure it's gonna be tough and it's gonna last for years and years to come. Now folks, this gives you a nice texture, black powder coat finish. It's very elegant, it's gonna keep everything looking nice and good inside your truck and black is gonna match every paint color out there and just look good.

I do wanna go ahead and open this up real quick. Now, on both sides, you're gonna have two push button latches that are gonna open this and I'm gonna throw a picture up there 'cause I'm not able to turn it for you today, it's just too big and this is where your key's gonna go in. You can lock both sides or one side. And what I found when I was testing this beforehand is that if you lock one side and have one side unlocked, you can still use the un-side of the lock that's on the side that's unlocked. So in this case, I have this one unlocked.

I can still push on this button, it's gonna automatically open. I'm just slowing it down here so it doesn't fall off my box. And this is gonna open to pretty much almost 90 degrees. I know you can't see it from your angle, but I literally have maybe a slight angle like this from 90. So pretty impressive on the height that it can open and you can really get down inside of here and get to all your gear.

And as you can see we have a slidable tray here that can slide the full width. So it's got a lot of space. On both sides, you're gonna have your gas struts, those are very, very nice. They're gonna do their job and open everything and around them, you have extra protection. Let's go ahead and take a look down inside and get a better view.

So coming over here again, you have reinforcements protecting this gas strut, this gas shock, from anything hitting it, crimping it or whatnot. You have space on both sides of the toolbox here and here. As you can see, I've got some screwdrivers and stuff in here, some pliers, some extra spots for more of that kind of stuff. I've got a full size Impact kit here that's ready to go. And that still has about four inches from the top down to that when it's standing up, so it's a very deep box. Roughly on the outside, this is about 23 and one quarter inches deep. So the inside's gonna be about an inch or more, depending on where you're at into the box. Less than that as far as space. And like I mentioned before, that top tray, this yellow tray, I could put a bunch of gear and stuff in here. I've got dividers here. I can take them out and make 'em bigger. I could take 'em all out if I want it fully width, but I have room to put whether it's nuts, bolts or whatnot in here. And speaking of nuts and bolts, well, here is the hardware to install this. It's your traditional J-shaped bolt with the nuts and washers and you're gonna have two per side. Those are gonna go on the sides when it sits on the bed rails and that's gonna be what holds it in place. As far as the latch and the rod system, a lot of tool boxes out there. You have an open rod here, you don't have that with this one. So Westin's done a great job of covering that. And all you have is the two access points, one on each side where the latch is gonna come down whenever it's time to close the box. And that latch is gonna go perfectly in place every time. You don't have to worry about gear and stuff, keeping everything from locking or unlocking whenever it's time to get inside your box. I do wanna go ahead and close this. Again, easy to open, easy to close. Again, that nice diamond tread pattern. And then you do get two full pieces of weather stripping. These are basically just like a foam with a double sided adhesive on one side. Those are each gonna go under one side of the toolbox where those arms overhang. And then of course, you're gonna get two keys included. That's what you're gonna be using to lock or unlock. Again, folks, this is a very nice option for you. Again, just the space alone, that sliding tool tray inside. And one more thing I forgot to mention while it was open, lemme open this back up real quick. Along the back side, down inside of there, there is a couple of brackets and that's designed to hold a level holder again up to a 48 inch wide level up inside of there. That way you can put a level in there, maybe you're a contractor or something like that. You have space to do that inside of here as well. So some quick dimensions while we finish up here. From end to end, now I got including just the lid, I didn't include the the lock part that does stick out a little bit extra, but I didn't include that, exterior of the lid, side to side, I got 71 and one half inches long or wide, depending on how you're looking at it. From the side, I got 28 inches wide, if I'm looking at the side. And then the height from the bottom up to the very top, with everything closed, I got 23 and a quarter inches tall. Now I also like to give you the base dimensions because that's the most important part that's gonna fit in the vehicle, right And this primarily fits most full size pickup trucks. On the outside to the outside of the small base part, I got 60 and one eighth inches long, overall. I got 27 inches deep on that part, or 27 inches wide, sorry, on that base part. And then I got 16 inches deep on that part just by itself. So again, those are the measurements. You can find 'em on the product page as well if you need to reach back towards them again. And as always, if you have any questions about this or any other products, you can always reach out to us here at etrailer, we're more than happy to assist you in any way we can. Inside the lid, you also have a full rubber weather seal along the entire opening. So that's gonna keep out dust, dirt, debris, and weather that you don't want in there folks. Folks, I'm Steven, thanks so much for your time. Thanks for watching and have a great day.
