I found a short open box at Lowe's that matches the color of my Dune interior. I just sit it under the rear seat of my crew cab on the driver's side so I have easy access to it. Because of the carpet on the floor it doesn't move around at all.

I have 2 Plano power tool storage tool boxes that I got from Menards that I keep under my back seat. I spent quite some time buying and returning tool boxes until I found these that mostly fit under the rear seat of my crew cab. Best thing is if I need the room I can just throw them in the bed and not worry about them sense they are sealed. I keep one for tie downs, jumper cables, and tow strap. And the other has road side emergency items such as gloves, first aid kit, flash light, batteries and items such as that. They are not very big but perfect for what I need.

Thinking of getting one of these or building one myself. I'm not a fan of the toolboxes that go in the bed, takes up too much space IMO. I might just build one cause I want to add an 8" sub under the rear pass side also.

You can get those much cheaper on ebay. There is one seller who advertises them for around $140 shipped but many people have gotten him to accept $125 ...

Yeah I was looking at the husky one along with the husky exact floor mats/liners. I think that's the best most practical storage solution especially because I like to keep along with the straps a medical kit and some detailing stuff for the interior and the occasional paint etching bird crap!

No pics but it's this one:

It matches the Cocoa carpet perfectly. It doesn't give you full coverage like many of the toolboxes but it still holds a lot of stuff and it's easy to move out of the way if I want a flat load floor :thumbs:

Thanks, Ill check it out.

You lose your truck bed. Why don't you just buy a tahoe/suburban if you want this..?

 

I would think that system would be the most beneficial with a cap on it.

It would help if you installed the organizer, but overall you are losing more than half of your depth in the bed and with the cap you limit your height and width even more. It doesn't make sense to do. IMO anyway

I have the husky liner under seat organizer and love it, keeps jackets, gloves and such at easy access. Everything else goes in my weatherguard tool box.

The deckd system is great for people that work out if their truck and do boy want to give up length with a tool box, much like a weatherguard pack rat. However I think this thread is more related to storing small items that do not necessitate $1700 storage options.

what happens if you regularly tow a work trailer and would need a place for all your tools?

      Trim level custom/pro

      By Another JR · Posted

      Are you going to take long trips in it?  If so, try out the seats in the various trims. For me the lower trim level seats were not comfortable.

      I have a 2016 that I bought new and still own. I'm around 129,000 miles now. The biggest problem was a transmission failure about 2 years ago around 95000 miles. No warning, just failed while driving down a back road. A reman GM transmission installed and it's been fine ever since. A few other minor problems along the way. I am in no hurry to replace it. It's been paid off long ago and do plan on driving this as long as I can.   I will admit I am leery about all the additional electronics in the newer models and feel that it is just more potential problems. I think there's actually more than I would have wanted in this 2016 but so far so good. I think even if something major like lifter failure happened, it would still be cheaper to at worst, drop a new engine in than buy a new vehicle.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I’ve own several successful businesses. I’ve bought homes and lived in different states. I’d witness several generations buy homes and survive in different economic circumstances. You get awful sippy when people have different experiences than you do. You live a life. I’ve lived a life. It seems our experience has been different. You can point out generalized statistics. Some people learn how to thrive when the odds are against them. Living in different states does make a difference in a persons quality of life and economic outcomes and opportunities. That’s a fact Jack. It’s my truth, my life. Hard work and long hours the right environment made my families life easier. And yes moving to a different state increased the odds of that happening. Stats are generalized. People who thrive don’t make excuses. They beat the odds. Others get mad and point to those statistics. I guess that’s you. My post pointed out how you helped people beat the odds. Somehow your panties got in a wad. Go figure.

      Good question, I don't remember for sure but I believe it was the HD. I will check and get back to you.

      Point of the post sir was that while both wages and cost are rising EVERYWHERE; the cost is rising faster EVERYWHERE than the ability to buy EVERYWHERE. We're not going down the location rabbit hole. I'm aware of what economic migration is. I've lived in four states including Texas.   It's what "Purchasing Power" means.   I'm not telling you what I think. I'm telling what the government, your government, data shows.   It wasn't an argument. It wasn't a suggestion. It was a statement of FACT. You are absolutely entitled to your own opinion. Your not entitled to your own facts. If you and I were, they wouldn't be facts.    fact /făkt/   noun Knowledge or information based on real occurrences. "an account based on fact; a blur of fact and fancy." Something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. "Genetic engineering is now a fact. That Chaucer was a real person is an undisputed fact." A real occurrence; an event. "had to prove the facts of the case." The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, 5th Edition • More at Wordnik   If you'd like to disagree call your Senator or Representative and let him know his departments are in error. But you and I? We are not doing this.
