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?

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      By newdude · Posted

      Its coolant disguised as oil.   TSB - 20-NA-166 1..3   "To inspect for this concern, add coolant dye to the system, run the engine through warm up, pressurize the cooling system after warming the engine to operating temperature (let the engine cool overnight) and inspect the suspect cylinder with a borescope for coolant dye evidence. At times it may be necessary to remove the head for inspection. If the head casting line is the concern, the intake port will be wet with a coolant oil mix"

      Cold start Miss, oil in cylinder

      Can you sample the pooled liquid, enough to confirm it is oil?   ...That its not fuel or coolant.   Also, make sure combustion gases aren't entering the cooling system.   Simply put, either oil being pushed up past the rings (this really isn't possible), oil leaking past the head gasket, oil leaking past the valve, oil entering through the intake air path. If none of this is likely - it may not be oil.   What could be likely is the fuel injector leaking down. A puddle of gas would still smoke and rough idle. (Same cylinder has the same problem after injector replacement?)   What is the crank time first thing in the morning, when the puddle would be present? Does it seem like the high pressure fuel pump needs an extra second or two to rebuild the pressure that injector 8 may have let bleed off? Check the fuel pressure via a scanner prior to starting the engine.

      Good information!  I didn't know about the dementia aspect and asked for a general for my second knee. I'd heard that recovery room time is usually shorter with a general.   The anesthesiologist talked me out of it and I had the spinal.  Inconvenience and/or discomfort is a small price to pay for reduced risk!

      This is for those over 70 years of age contemplating joint replacement surgery involving general anesthesia. Even some 55 yrs. ago when I took my pharmacology class the dangers of developing dementia in the elderly that had general anesthesia were beginning to be recognized. Over the years there has been some refinement in the cautionary warnings, avoid general anesthesia if possible if you've had close to 10 priors, especially over the age of 70 and/or a family history of dementia. I'm not including the twilight anesthesia induced by propofol often used in cytoscopies or colonscopies. Seriously think about seeing a neurologist and undergo cognitive testing before proceeding if any of those criteria apply to you. Spinal anesthesia may be an option in some cases. I'm in the above camp and although I could use a new right knee, I get fidgety according to a prior orthopedic surgeon when the bone saw spools up or maybe it was the smell of saw blade meeting bone, anyhow I may have one general anesthesia left in me which I will pocket for now and I'm choosing mind over mobility, anyway where did I leave my damn cane!
