Weatherguard worth the $$$

[schmism]

the delta tool box in the back of my toyota has been bullet proof for the past 11 years that it has sat in the back of my truck.

no latch issues in that time. no gasket issues in that time.

only issue i had was the gas shocks.... in that the supplied ones were way to strong, i couldnt comfortably close it one handed with both shocks. so i simply disconnected one and the lift/close force was perfect. Had the nice side affect that after the first one died about 5 years ago i simply switched to the other one that i hadnt been useing the entire time.

Thanks for the replies guys. I especially appreciate the insite on the UWS units. I've found all of the replies true about the weatherguard I had. Has anyone with a black DP box had the finish wear off?

I have a cheap ($300 I think) black diamond box from tsc (delta?). Only had it for a year. Latch is cheap, but it still works. Every where there is a dent I put in it and some places there aren't the paint has been knocked off. Wish I had got plain aluminum.

If you don't dent it or let stuff rub against it, it seems to hold up to the weather at least.
