2005 5.9 Ram build.
Then I started thinking about all the Tweakers and how much they LOVE stealing tools and yes there is a special place in hell for tool theves!
So I decided to build me one of those fancy lock set ups I see on work trucks.
This is what I came up with. The 5/8s bar stops the handles from being able to swing out. Even if the asshat drills out the tool box locks they can not "open" the handle to twist it and un lock the box.
After that the 5/8s bar is still keeping the boxes shut. It's all grade 8 hardware and 1/4 plate. All the grade 8 bolts are backed up with 1/4 plate on the inside with fender washers.
If they want my tools, they gonna earn them.
