On your UWS Truck Bed Chest - Wedge Series - Offset Lid - 11.8 cu ft - Gloss Black, does it come with mounting hardware? And if not what do you recommend?

Hey Richard, the UWS tool box part # UWS01047 does not come with mounting hardware. Typically people will drill through the floor of the tool box an the truck bed and run nuts and bolts to secure it. Is that something you'd be open to?

Hey Richard, did you decide to drill through the tool box and truck bed to secure it? I'm curious because it could help others who are considering the same installation method.

@JamesonC. What size nut and bolt do you recommend and would you recommend 4 points of attachment? Looking to secure it fully nut also minimize drilling etc. Thanks!

@KristenW I think ideally you do 4 bolt holes in the corners of the box. Maybe you could get away with just two but I don't think that would be best. As far as size that really will depend on the application but 3/8 inch steel bolts generally do the trick well.
