Anyone have one of these?


They look pretty nice and hopefully methy coon proof.....


Went out this morning to start up my pickup and see fresh foot prints in the snow....

Bastards made off with about $600-700 worth of wrenches and sockets and random stuff.

Sam, Highway Products is local and they have an excellent reputation for making high quality and high priced products, although I am not an owner of one. Many contractors vets and the like use their boxes in this area.

Fire, I see they are over in your neck of the woods, White City, OR.


I had never heard of them until today when I went to researching toolboxes.


They do appear to be pretty nice. And if it can keep the driveway hit and run coons outta my chit it'll be well worth it.


And by coons I mean the nocturnal chitballs that have nothing better to do than steal a working mans tools. Not a racist comment, they might be white coons for all I know......

Schitballs.


Sorry Sam.

Jim, we've lived here in town for 10 years and this is the first issue.


At least they didn't get inside the cab, then I would be SUPER PISSED!

I have two of their side boxes for my flatbed pick up truck. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a better built product, you’re going to pay for it they’re damn expensive but they built like a brick chit house!

Sam,

In a previous employment life, Highway Products was an account of mine...

even tho base over in White City, they have some large contracts with a lot of major cities Hwy and Road depts
that need to keep things secure, in cities that have a lot of interurban crooks... I know whatever they call the Hwy Dept and Roads Works in NYC had major contracts, with them for a lot of their products...

Same thing with places like Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, Atlanta, Wash DC, Philadephia, Boston etc...

So their products not only excel in durability and toughness, they also excel in keeping their contents hard to get to for the criminal elements..... so they should be a secure product for the average Montana Meth Head...

While they are not cheap, they are a real bargain for the quality of the product...
and preventing theft, once you figure in preventing losing your equipment.. suddenly the extra cost becomes a real bargain..

Footprints in the snow? And you didn't get to trackin'?

10 years in town? That about 'splains it.....................................citified for sure, that's what you are.

Need to get some of them fancy video cameras. Probably find out it's the neighbor's kid and his hoodlum buddies.

Did you report it to the local po-po? Any identifiable marks on those tools?

Good luck with the tool box........... I hate a dang thief.

PS, better start taking what's in the cab into the house at night.

PPS might just have to put out some "bait" and sit on the porch in the dark a few nights.......................I hear it's a good way to get them little rascals.

Thanks for the info guys, sounds good.


Just ordered one, $1326 grand total and that includes shipping.



I've been meaning to upgrade for several years but never found anything(sturdy) with the right dimensions to fit over my L tank.

The Highway box should be a perfect fit. Might have to scoot the tank back and inch or two but that's not a huge deal.

Imagine a thumbs up emoji here.

Geno

Geno, the word is out with all the neighbors.

And yes, all the goodies inside the cab are now going inside!


Fuuckers even packed off my Handy Man jack. Hopefully they kill themselves with it......

Looks like a great box.

I've only had one really stout, high end toolbox. It was an RKI. Expensive, and real steel.

Used that box on 3 pickups.

Sorry about the theft Sam.

No place seems safe from thieves.

Barry, I think I may have looked into those a couple years ago?


Believe they were a little too deep in the belly.




Richard, it's sad state of affairs all over the place.

I hate meth and pillheads.

Camera, You can't enter my property without being on camera, the video that is stored off site unless you climb the fence, and there are dogs there.

Could be.

RKI makes a couple of depths now. One looks like the Gullwing.

DOT, Department of transportation. They use their products so does the New York City sanitation department New York City Police Department and other city agencies. Loma cranes out of New York have all of their boxes for their tractor trailers custom built By Highway, Products.

700, I plan on having a couple cameras installed. But we live on an Indian rez and the tribal court is an absolute joke. But of course maybe it was a white guy.......



Barry, those do look solid.




BamBam, sounds like a good investment!

I've drooled over their website. Some of their one off custom utility beds are fuggin unreal. Some of the nicest most well thought out beds I've ever seen. post up some pics when you get it.
POS cracker stole my Stihl cut off saw during the middle of the day while I was on the second floor of the project I was on. 5th time I've been hit in 15 years. Stole an entire trailer full of tools one time. I'd love to catch somebody using one of my tools on a job one day. They'd need an orthopedic surgeon for their hands.

I hear ya on the security camera idea, Sam.

Since that woman got murdered here about 6 weeks ago, I have started running these.

Screw on the base to a tree. It has a magnetic ball mount.

Camera is very small. About 3x3"...

The bad guys can't see it flash at night.
