how does this mount to the truck to keep it from being stolen?

Comes with nuts and bolts to keep it mounted to your truck. So you drill holes in your side rails or buy a kit that requires no drilling. Only way it (the bolts)can be accessed is if you leave it unlocked.

J hook style bolts on the inside of the box to your truck bed rails then lock the tool box and people can't steal it.

Good question. I just used large self tapping screws straight down through the top of the bed sidewalls. I did see one very ingenious method using the equipment tie down sliding tracks/rails on some TACO forum (assuming you are installing on your Tacoma). For best method to mount any cross bed toolbox do a search of the web on Tacoma forums. There is a lot of good advice out there. I just took the easy lazy way and drilled it right to the truck.

I use the j bolts that comes with it. Once I position it on the bed of the truck I drill holes all the way through the truck then go underneath with the j bolt thru the hole and put washer and nut on it... Then I also secure it from the top down using self tapping screws.......

Latches to the wall mount but foes not lock in place. I put a "seat belt" type strapped around it top to bottom to keep it in place while in transit in the RV.

No, it is a soft top with a double locking seal like a zip-lock bag. I have not had any problems with anyone bothering with mine. If you are wanting to make it a secure area in your truck, I would look for a hard top or roll top. They are more expensive but also more secure.

The trailer has a pin with a tab on it to lock it to the pull hitch. Hope that helps.

A locking tailgate would be the only way to prevent access to the bed. Keep in mind the cover is made out of a fine cloth and only helps conceal what is inside.

Although I have yet to fasten it to my truck, my plan was to buy 1 bolts with 2 washers (one lock washer), 1 rubber gasket and a nut x 4. The safe comes with 4 holes for mounting. The "Bottom" of this safe is opposite the face or door, the door will open up toward you, as seen in the photo, so this will determine where you can or would put the safe if mounting via the bolt holes. Actually I just had another idea, depending on your truck or vehicle, you may be able to place this "inside" your glove box. I will not be doing that; I just installed my radio in that location, but it is an option for out of site installment.

Rick, agree with the other comments. I use a small bungee on the front loops to hold it in place as well as make it a little more difficult for someone to steal it.

Basically just pick it up and put it in you truck. I used a strap to secure it to the truck.

I have it mounted on the top of the receiver hitch pointed at the trailer ball. That way I can use it to align the ball with the hitch. When the trailer isn't on the truck I can see behind the truck without any obstruction. It's velcrow'd to the ball and I used a couple of heavy duty tie wraps. 2 years+ and 40,000 miles later and it hasn't moved. Hope this helps.

While there are very few items that are theft proof, this is more of a theft deterrent to a potential thief. The item fits snugly between the tailgate and the bed wall to deter a thief from being able to lift the tailgate to a 45 degree angle and lifting it off of the tailgate post. Again, it's just deterrent to a thief and doesn't make it theft proof. Good luck with finding a item for your vehicle (the MasterLock item is a good deterrent as well).

Mounting keeps it out of sight and gives you support and resistance against the door so you can lock the top with one hand. It is a slender box and could tip on the counter.

It can of of course,it's just screws holding it. It can be stolen over a course of a couple minutes though.

When the top is in place, one can lock the tailgate and the securing latches are not available to unlock. That makes it secure.

It appears like the lock you see on a truck toolbox. Not the highest security but it isn't something you could open with a screwdriver I don't think. It is much better than not having any lock on your mailbox.

Well I have not been robbed since installing it! When both bolts are secured it prevents any vertical movement or lifting of the doors out of their tracks. I bought to keep my toddler twins from opening the door so far its worked and that is proof enough for me!!!

It is mounted to the tire. There is no locking mechanism. If you wanted to secure the bike, you would have to use a cable and a lock.

The unit fastens to the mounting surface with screws. It has two (if I remember correctly) keyhole-like slots on the rear of the unit.
