Maximize unused bed space and keep your most important tools right within reach with the WEATHER GUARD Driver-Side Wheel Well Box. Designed to sit neatly above and behind the wheel well, this compact yet durable storage solution is perfect for storing smaller tools, hardware, and essentials without sacrificing valuable truck bed capacity. Whether you’re a contractor, technician, or weekend DIYer, this wheel well tool box delivers professional-grade security and convenience in a space-efficient design.
Constructed from heavy-duty welded aluminum and finished with a premium Gloss Black ARMOR TUF Powder Coat, it resists corrosion, dents, and daily wear. The advanced lock-and-latch system offers top-level protection, helping safeguard your gear against theft and tampering. The bold red push-button lock provides quick entry and retracts when locked, giving you instant visual confirmation that your equipment is secure. Because the lid requires zero rear clearance to open, you can mount this box tightly against the front of the bed for a clean, efficient layout.
A full weather seal protects contents from moisture, dust, and harsh conditions—critical for anyone who stores valuable tools or electronics in their vehicle. The lid opens a full 90 degrees for effortless access, while reinforced C-channel construction and a dual-stage rotary latch system deliver long-lasting durability. Enhanced tie-down buckles provide extra versatility when securing cargo, and integrated 12-volt access makes it easy to add aftermarket lighting or powered accessories. Compatible with 1KEY Ultralock systems, this box can operate on the same key as your other WEATHER GUARD storage products, simplifying your workflow.
