Tool Storage

[jorgensg]

I have a 2009 regular cab short box Silverado. I am looking for a way to store my tow strap, tie downs and hand tools. I want something that is clean or hidden from view.

Are you talking about in the bed or in the cab?

I will be curious to the answers to for this. I have a RCSB as well and will be buying a tow strap and hooks and want to store them to and my mag lite. I have looked at the toolboxes and mount behind your rear fenderwells in the truck, and then swing out over the tailgate when you need them. I have a tonneau cover on the truck so it would be hidden for me, but they are spendy for how small they are!

If you do not need a whole lot of room you could put a box in the location for the second battery (like you used to be able to get).

Both or either, I am looking for ideas. I have the bed Vortex lined. Right now I have triangled box that sits behind the seat, it sits out past the seat and doesn't look right.

I tuck my Maglite between the seat track and center console along the driver's seat.

Do you have the Cargo Management system? If so take a look at the small tool boxes for it. The attache and fit below the rail, can be removed to carry around, are keyed to your ignition key so no extra key needed.

A little spendy but;

I have a small battery box installed under the hood behind the driver headlight, in it I have an air compressor, tire gauge and a plug kit. Helped get those items out of the cab of the truck.

I bought a low-profile tool box for my truck from Tractor Supply (I found it was the best deal). It's nothing heavy-duty, but it gets the job done for putting things like this in the tool box.

 

I got mine in black, to blend in to the bed liner, but you get the point.

yea i just have a small tool box that i keep in the bed of my truck... its big enough for my hitch receiver, recovery strap, tie downs, jumper cables, some tools and a baseball glove or two.

I've been thinking about putting a battery box in the extra battery spot for things that won't be heat affected, although that probably doesn't get much hotter than the cab in the summer here in AZ. Right now I just have a tool bag under the rear seat. Holds bungis, tie downs, receiver, tire gauge. Enough for now but any tools and it's out of room.

Thanks to all who replied! does anyone have one of those new canvas bags that are shaped like a bowtie?

Walmart has some nice black tool boxs for storage in the auto section. Plan on getting the bigger one they have, very thick plastic and you can lock it. Also if you have a farm and fleet around too.

By far the best store on the face of the Earth!
