ffurhcaz Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 Its called a billy box, made in Austin,TX, customization with speakers dividers and best of all gun racks. http://www.billyboxes.com/ Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 15, 2015 Report Posted July 15, 2015 It looks awesome, is it painted or powder coated?? Quote
ffurhcaz Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Posted July 15, 2015 They call it a "textured powder coat" Quote
Poisonfangs85 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 I'm gunna look into them, pretty sure they will break my bank. Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 All of the powder coated tool boxes here peel off in a year and rust, I don't know what the manufacturers are doing but its all wrong Quote
Chris Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Really nice box, not worth dropping over 2 grand on it though. At that price, I'll make my own and get some real high end stainless handles and what not, LOL 2 Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 2 grand the heck?? That thing would get stolen off my truck in 5 mins after putting in 1 Quote
Bremon Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Slick box. My next one will be a Weather Guard saddlebox. Currently using a GM low profile one that somewhat disappoints me. Quote
Poisonfangs85 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 2 grand the heck?? That thing would get stolen off my truck in 5 mins after putting inLol! That's what I'm sayin'! It would become a target instead of a stronghold for my tools. Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Lol! That's what I'm sayin'! It would become a target instead of a stronghold for my tools.The worst part would be that the thieves would sell it for a quick 300 bucks Quote
Bigmikez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 2 grand is definitely to much to drop on a box but it is very cool though. 1 Quote
ffurhcaz Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Posted July 16, 2015 OK, people have been sharing some very expensive stuff on TIA lately, I mean redonkulously expensive. 1600 dollars for a thing that holds your drill bit against metal, 2000 dollars for a truck box, and what was it 300,000 for a jigantic snapon toolbox. TIA is not about the super rich, its about lower bracket and middle bracket of income, and we can't afford all this silly crap. Anybody who spends 2000 dollars on a truck box is either not thinking clearly, or has more money then they know what to do with. Of course, everything I just said is my opinion, you don't have to agree with it, just take it with a grain of salt. My two centsI just came across this box in just messing around on the internet, I definitely don't own one of these, i posted it up as more of a look at what is being done. Not necessarily a hey you need to buy this, if you own this or go buy this more power to you, I was just sharing some cool tool stuff with tool people. Also if there is a more appropriate section of the forum for this type of post please let me know. (still pretty new at posting here) Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 It should be posted in the "I can't afford this, but If I had the money I would buy it" section..lol Quote
kruton Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 It should be posted in the "I can't afford this, but If I had the money I would buy it" section..lolMaybe that should be a new thread! Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk Quote
ffurhcaz Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Posted July 16, 2015 Maybe that should be a new thread! Sent from my SM-N900V using TapatalkI agree would be a fun thread to look through. Quote
Nordraw Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 Wow, that's a lot of dough for a truck box. You must have that Dan money. 1 Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 I hear Dan money is better than Trump money nowadays..lol Quote
Chris Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 While we're talking about truck boxes, I would really like to see some tool fights between different truck boxes. I know they aren't cheap but a lot of us depend on them and it would be nice to really see them go head to head. Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 16, 2015 Report Posted July 16, 2015 That's a really good idea, it seems like every manufacture builds there boxes differently. Does anybody know were I can buy new lift assist pistons for tool boxes at a cheap prices mine broke years ago?? Quote
Bremon Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 Napa I believe. I think this box has a place on this site, people here more than most places should be able to appreciate splurging on tool related gadgets. The Weatherguard I'll buy will likely be $1000. The toolbox I have with the modular rail system was $1000. Look at a site like garage journal; people of all walks of all income levels heckling and appreciating all brands regardless of price haha. I still think those snap on boxes are insane though . 1 Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 17, 2015 Report Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks, a few hours ago I was on a Napa roof that's a weird coincidence. I just didn't think it was worth the money, I would spend that money on tools not a box Quote
WeldfabNeil Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 It's a nice looking box. I have seen a lot of white powder coated boxes rusting an causing sounding paint to have rust colorist stains in it. Quote
Justin Hernandez Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 It's a nice looking box.I have seen a lot of white powder coated boxes rusting an causing sounding paint to have rust colorist stains in it.I see a lot of powder coat peel off here, and people paint the missing spots but it just keeps peeling until there's nothing left Quote
Bremon Posted July 19, 2015 Report Posted July 19, 2015 My aluminum box is powdercoated and after 5 years the powdercoat has started to peel badly. Quote
