When standard hi-side boxes don't provide enough storage capacity but you still need full truck bed floor access, the WEATHER GUARD Super Hi-Side Tool Box (Model 365-5-02) delivers the ultimate solution in sleek gloss black. This premium automotive accessory takes the proven hi-side concept to the next level with 10.8 cubic feet of storage—37% more capacity than standard hi-side boxes—while still mounting on bed rails to keep your entire bed floor open. The larger aluminum diamond plate construction with contemporary gloss black finish provides room for bulkier items, longer tools, and more equipment without compromising the cargo flexibility that makes hi-side boxes so valuable. For professional contractors, tradespeople, and serious truck owners who demand maximum storage capacity without sacrificing bed utility or modern appearance, this super hi-side configuration represents the best of both worlds: exceptional tool storage with complete bed floor access and sophisticated styling.
Super Hi-Side Design: 10.8 Cubic Feet of Capacity
The super hi-side configuration expands on the traditional hi-side design by increasing both width and height, creating 10.8 cubic feet of storage capacity—significantly more volume than standard 7.9 cubic foot hi-side boxes. At approximately 64.25" long, 16.25" wide, and 18" high, this larger footprint provides room for items that simply won't fit in standard boxes: larger power tools, bulky equipment, multiple tool bags, paint sprayers, air compressors, testing equipment cases, or any combination of tools and supplies that demands more space.
The increased door opening—14.75" high by 29" wide on each side—makes loading and accessing larger items significantly easier. You can fit items that would be difficult or impossible to maneuver through standard hi-side openings, making this super hi-side box ideal for operators whose tool requirements exceed what conventional boxes can accommodate.
Despite the increased capacity, the box still mounts on bed rails, preserving the fundamental advantage of hi-side storage: your entire truck bed floor remains open. You can still haul full sheets of plywood, long lumber, ladders, pipe, equipment, pallets, or any cargo that requires the full bed length and width. This makes the super hi-side box perfect for contractors who need extensive tool storage but also regularly transport materials—you're not forced to choose between adequate storage and cargo capacity.
Heavy-Duty Aluminum with Professional Gloss Black Finish
The aluminum diamond plate construction provides the strength needed for this larger capacity while keeping weight manageable. At 66 pounds, the super hi-side box weighs only 9 pounds more than the standard hi-side despite offering 37% more storage volume—testament to aluminum's excellent strength-to-weight ratio. Aluminum naturally resists corrosion, ensuring years of reliable service without rust issues even in harsh weather, road salt, or chemical exposure.
The Gloss Black ARMOR TUF powder coat finish over the aluminum diamond plate elevates the appearance while providing additional protection against scratches, chemicals, and UV exposure. This contemporary black finish creates a sleek, professional look that coordinates beautifully with black or dark-colored trucks, matches black bed liners and other black accessories for a unified appearance, and maintains its professional look even with the inevitable wear that occurs in working truck environments. For operators who understand that professional appearance impacts customer perception and business credibility, the gloss black finish delivers both protection and sophisticated styling that sets your truck apart.
The aluminum door and hinge system keeps weight down while maintaining durability for the larger, heavier doors required by the super hi-side design. The heavy-duty welded construction and heavy-duty C-channel reinforced lids provide the structural integrity needed to support the larger capacity and withstand demanding commercial use.
Key Features
- Super Hi-Side Capacity: 10.8 cubic feet storage—37% more than standard hi-side boxes while keeping bed floor completely open
- Extra-Large Door Openings: 14.75" H x 29" W doors accommodate bulkier items and larger power tools easily
- Tool-Less Adjustable Doors: QuickClips allow doors to adjust from 90° to 180° without tools for flexible access in any situation
- Professional Gloss Black Finish: Contemporary ARMOR TUF powder coat over aluminum diamond plate for durability and modern styling
Innovative Features and Organization
The tool-less adjustable door system using QuickClips provides the same flexibility as standard hi-side boxes but becomes even more valuable with the larger super hi-side doors. Adjust each door to 90 degrees for standard access or 180 degrees (flat against truck side) for maximum clearance—particularly useful when loading or unloading the bulkier items this larger box accommodates. The adjustment requires no tools and takes just seconds.
The removable parts bin keeps small items, fasteners, and frequently accessed parts organized rather than lost at the bottom of the larger storage space. With 10.8 cubic feet of capacity, organization becomes increasingly important, and the parts bin ensures small items remain accessible and easy to locate.
A unique feature of this super hi-side box is the convenient attachment point that secures materials and tools in the pickup bed. This integrated tie-down point adds versatility for securing cargo, creating a multi-functional storage and cargo management system that enhances the overall utility of your truck bed.
Security and Weather Protection
The drill-resistant lock core defeats common break-in attempts targeting standard locks. The three-point latching system secures the larger lids at three locations, ensuring they remain secure and properly sealed even under force. This is particularly important with the larger super hi-side design where lid size could otherwise create vulnerability.
Weather protection is comprehensive. The rain gutter channels water away from the opening, while the full weather seal uses memory-resistant D-shaped ribbed weather stripping that maintains sealing effectiveness through repeated use, temperature cycling, and UV exposure. This keeps tools dry, prevents rust on steel tools, protects electronics and testing equipment, and ensures moisture-sensitive materials remain in good condition regardless of weather conditions during transport or storage.
Installation and Quality
Installation on bed rails takes approximately 0.7 hours (about 40 minutes). The bed rail mounting creates secure attachment compatible with style-side truck beds—the most common configuration. Despite the larger size, installation follows the same proven process as standard hi-side boxes.
The Limited Lifetime Warranty demonstrates WEATHER GUARD's confidence in construction quality and materials. USA manufacturing ensures the quality control standards and construction methods that have made WEATHER GUARD the professional's choice for decades. Optional key-alike configuration is available on request for fleet applications or operators with multiple WEATHER GUARD products.
