Truck toolbox question

[Duddin]

So I just picked up a toolbox for my truck and was wonering if there is anything I can put between it and the bedrails to keep it from scratching the crap out of my bedrails? I have seen people try weather stripping but that doesnt seem to work. I plan on getting it rhino lined but not for a while so need something to get me by till then. I just done want it to rub through the paint and cause rust.

Toolbox

My toolbox came with rubber pads the width of the toolbox that it sits on. I would think you could use any type of foam product. If you know anybody in the construction field Sill Sealer cut to fit would work just fine I believe.

Mine had some rubber weatherstrip on it.

Worthless.

My truck's rhino-lined, so the bed didn't get scratched.

Just get the rhinoliner and be done with it.

Just get some rubber strips to put in there.. 3m makes a foam tape you can put between, but it will be flat in a couple months.

I really do not think rubber or foam would be a good lasting solution, maybe a mudflap thick rubber might hold up for a while. I think you should just Rhino Line or similar before you put the box in but I also wonder how long that would hold up under the box. My truck has diamond plate bed rail protectors and a sprayed bed liner. I can not tell you where to get them as they were on the truck when I bought it used. Good luck...Jeff

I've got plastic bed rail protectors on my truck with the box on top of those.

cut innertube and double it, will last longer than the weatherstrip
