" How well do any of these hold up while heavily loaded and bouncing around off-road ?? "

I had a pair installed for about 20,000 miles. A lot of miles on dirt and gravel roads of varying quality and several hundred miles on some bumpy trails. Mine carried recovery straps, ropes, and shackles. They held up well.

No drilling required. When I bought my pair in 2020 they didn't offer an option to match the locks, but I got lucky i guess and the locks matched.

I called and asked the swingaway.us website guy and he had a take it or leave it attitude, when I asked if it was possible to get mine both keyed alike he was gonna up charge me an extra $40 and that would also delay shipping. I can buy alot of new locks for $40 and install them myself, done it in the past. Would be even better if I can match the lock on my bed cover! Ill research that.

I just found this thread so it's a little dated but here's some background info on the brands.

SwingCase is the original product name from UnderCover, Inc.
Circa 2018-19 (or thereabouts), UnderCover was acquired by Truck Hero.
RealTruck.com is Truck Hero's e-commerce site, but Truck Hero also sells through WD's to brick and mortar retail stores.

Consequently, you'll see the same product branded as either SwingCase or RealTruck.

Now, I just need to figure out how to install the one my wife got me for Christmas over the factory drop-in bed liner.
