Undercover Swingcase. Left and Right side specific. Holds up to 75 lbs of stuff each. They swing out or can be removed completely.

Here's a link for ya;

Undercover ™ is the new standard in tonneau covers. Our Patented X-effect ™ design and advanced polymers give this tonneau cover unparalleled strength and durability at a fraction of the weight and less cost than fiberglass.

Simple and elegant design Big Blue! Thanks for sharing the details.

Could you get a pic looking down into the mount cups/plates?

Thanks!

The rack looks great.

Did you look into putting a fuel tank and transfer pump in the box instead of a can rack?

Still hoping to see how you designed the mounts if you have a chance.

Here you go Far,

Sorry for the delay. I put a bead of silicone around the caps so I didn't want to pull it off...But since you asked twice.

What you cant see it that the width of the mounting point is the same width as the grooves in the bed. Additionally, I grinded a tapered edge on both sides so it literally fits like a glove flush with the bed. And as you can see, I used the stock bed bolts to secure.

Thanks. No, I like the mobility of the cans. And depending on the trip, I can exchange a water can instead of 2 gas cans.

Why is it siliconed?

Why is it siliconed?

Just to secure them in place so they dont pop off. I had to notch them to fit flush around the caps since one side has a cross bar welded to it. I also figured it could only help keep moisture out of the cap.

Oh, It's a plastic cap correct?
