Has anyone purchased a UWS Toolbox?

I want one but my local dealer doesn't have the low profile box to put on my truck to see how it fits.

I like it, I went to the website and looked as well. But I can't locate a price. Any ideas or where do you get them?
Thanks

I got the slim line low pro deep in black not too long ago, really like it, especially since the CC bed is short. It's still big enough to fit my two Craftsman toolboxes in, plus all the towing items, straps, and utilitrack cleats. I'll try to get some picts. Note: If you have the utilitrack, the normal 69" box will not fit, it's about 1/16" too wide because of the utiltrack rails. You could grind them down or remove the forward section of track, but you wouldn't be able to get the J bolts in (there are other means of securing it however.) I just got the 67" box, which I believe is made for the Tundra. It still looks very good.

How much did it cost?

Around $280 or so, which seems to be on the low end, other dealers quoted me up to $330.

Thanks. That isnt bad. Did you have it shipped to you? I am going to check my area dealers and if I can't find one then I may go for this one.

The local dealer ordered it. He had one of the 69" ones in stock, that's how I know that it won't fit with the utilitrack. There are places online that carry UWS, you just have to search.

I went by the truck accessory place where my nephew works at lunch today just to chat and look at truck stuff. While I was there I couldn't resist the temptation to buy a tool box, so I did.

Thanks to Sammy I was aware of the Utilitrac channel issue so I got the right size. It fits and looks great. You can't even see the box in your rear view mirror and only the lid shows from the rear view.

The part number is TBS-69-T100-LP The application says it's for the Toyota T100.

I was reading the warranty for my new UWS tool box and came across the this warning:

Do not use these toolboxes or chestboxes for the carrying of livestock...

What kind of bull is this?
