Truck Storage

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?
