Raven, could you post link to where you bought? Still thinking about paxside.

Here's where I ordered mine from.

 

Well this is indeed embarrassing. Might be a while before I get to the big island but I'll definitely buy you beers as well.

 

Ouch, $52 shipping, but thanks

 

$16 for me. $60 OTD price

 

$59.63 with tax and shipping. ebay. But had to wait 2 weeks.

 

Being in Hawaii, I'm sure shipping is WAY different than the lower 48. And probably takes way longer.

 

and frustrating as well. I just experienced 2 examples. Basically warranty issues, a blood pressure cuff, chair headrest. Was informed by both companies they COULD not ship to my address being Hawaii, but if I could provide a mainland address they would readily ship replacements. Sent SIL AZ address. They shipped. I then got provided USP tracking number. SIL immediately reshipped USPS, but new postage of course. There is way too much stupidity in this world.
If I get Amazon Prime in 2 weeks I feel I’ve won the lottery.

 

Did you cut into the rib on the back side? TIA

 

No, but screw holes very close. I suspect cutting into rib, rib would interfere with bottom fitting and would have to be cut flush.

 

You shouldn't cut into rib, it won't fit if you did. There's plenty of room if you use the measurements I posted above. (Post# 24) I just finished the passenger side, took about 30 min. Both sides done! Thanks again to @Sodamo for starting this. And next time I'm in Hawaii, ill buy you a beer or 3!

 

Another nice job, Raven
Look forward to it

 

Great info guys. Mine will be here on Monday and with all the info everyone has provided, this will be a piece of cake.

 

Looking forward to your input Rick. Especially if you do something different.

 

@Raven67 what fasteners did you use? Are they just self tapping?

 

I just used lag bolts because I had some black ones, & a couple plastic rivets.
The lag bolts are really tight in the material the bed is made of, they worked perfectly.

 

I just wanted to thank Raven & Sodamo for all the help on this project. I finished mine today and now an official member of the Inbed Storage gang.
I was going to use riv-nuts but after seeing that one rib was going to make it very difficult make it work I went with #14 1 1/2 inch panhead screws with washer. I used the cutout piece to make the spacers and I made it long enough to fill the entire gap. I made 3 1 inch strips and glued them together, drilled holes to match the storage lip. Sanded the edges and hit it with a little black paint. Quite happy with the results. Once again thank for the all the help.

 

Glad to hear of another successful install

 

Gonna be a few weeks before I get mine done. Pesky vacations getting in the way.....

 

Please please STOP coming up with great ideas.

You are forcing me to add to my list


you may continue

 

Just love helping others spend their $$

 

Got mine done today. I have the BAK Revolver 4xs which lowers the tie down rail so adjusted the measurement down by about 1 1/4 inches.

Anyone worried about water getting up into the storage compartment through the drain holes in the bottom? Not sure if water spray makes it that far up into that area between box and fender.

 

Nice
i was initially concerned and was going to tape over the holes, but forgot.

 

I have the bak revolver as well- did you have to remove the rail to get the box in?

 

I removed the rail for the tie downs. Probably didn't have to but then it's out of the way for cutting the hole. Only adds a few minutes to the process so I think it's worth doing.

 

neat idea! good work on the writing up the install

 

Glad to help

 

Saved, May have to add to mine for easy tiedown storage/ access
