How do you guys keep your dog boxes from sliding around? I bought a new truck with a plastic bed liner and it sure is slippery. Thanks in advance

I took a bed bolt out drilled hole in the bottom of box and put the bed bolt through the hole, makes them harder to steal.

I have an Owens box, I put two decent size U bolts up on the front edge below the lid. Drilled them out and used washers on both sides. I attach my ratchet straps to these. It works great and looks nice. I have been asked many times if it came that way and I say, no one of my only decent ideas! LOL.

Good luck!

Take 2 2by4's about 3 inches longer than length of box, fasten to bottom of box,drill 2 three-eight hole's through 2by4 and truck bed,either bolt down tight or just use bolts like hitch pin,easy to pull out...

I run 4 ratchet straps from the lift handles to the bed tie downs...one in each corner. Then I run a Master cable lock through one tiedown and the handle to prevent somebody from backing up to my truck and sliding it into theirs. I don't want to drill holes through the box or I'd bolt it down through my bed hold down bolts as well.

Rubber mat and chained it in

put 2by4 framed box behind the dog box 1, 24inch 2by4 in frunt of dog box.to keep it from hiting tailgate.

get you some mining belt, or a rubber mat.

I have a homemade peice of junk box that I made just wide enough to wedge between the wheel wells and then I have a strap that holds it in place at the tailgate end. I dont have to worry about it getting stolen, I have exactly $4 invested in it....

I layed a 2x6 down flat between the box and the tailgate.Then I shoved the box tight against the 2x6 and tailgate.Then I measured between the back of the box and the inside of the bed,Then made a 2x6 frame to fill the hole about as wide as the box.This stops the latches from ever hitting the tailgate and the frame is handy to put stuff in.
