Tool Boxes 

Thank you for choosing Dee Zee to add function and accessorize your vehicle. Dee Zee has been a staple 

brand in the truck accessory market since 1977 and we hold a reputation of quality manufacturing 

based in America’s Heartland. Our products are born through careful engineering and backed by industry 

leading warranty programs. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you and your vehicle! 

Review the instruction pages in their entirety to prepare the required tools 

Warning:

 The included J-Bolts must be used during installation to secure the crossover tool box to the truck 

bed. Do NOT use self-tapping screws on crossover tool boxes. Self-tapping screws can be used only on chest 
style tool boxes being installed to the truck bed. Tie downs designed specifically for Ford aluminum body 
trucks also are available.  

The tool box warranty is 

void

 if one of these securing methods is not used. 

Note:

 Dee Zee tool boxes are NOT air tight. An air-tight seal allows condensation to form inside of the box, 

causing the contents to be susceptible to mold or rust. Dee Zee boxes feature various bulb seals and foam 
gaskets on the lid to help resist weather elements. 

Tool box locks are provided as a theft deterrent and they should always be engaged to prevent easy access to 
the contents of your tool box when not in use. Contents stored in the tool box are the responsibility of the 
user and Dee Zee disclaims responsibility of theft. Dee Zee does not insure any loss of contents. 

Cleaning

: To be entitled to all warranty rights offered with the product, Dee Zee tool boxes need to be cleaned 

regularly with a mild detergent. Do NOT use abrasive cleaners. For stainless steel products, the application of a 
high grade automotive wax is recommended.
