I see Husky, Du-Ha, and GM make under seat storage boxes for the crew cab trucks. My truck is going to have two car seats in the back for the next couple of years, and I would like to be able to easily slide the box out from under the back seat without having to remove the car seats to lift up the seat bottoms.

 

Does anyone know if any of the three options will work well with what I am trying to do? Maybe any of them would work ok if I just left them loose under there, I don't know.

 

Also, is there an available floor console storage unit? The floor to the right of my transfer case shifter has a pretty big bare, flat spot that looks like it could be used for something, maybe holding an IPad or something.

they all do same thing man, They do not stay un attached, otherwise when you stop it would slide out. It connects to the screw and post for the jack under seat. Even with seat on top, i have the booster seat now, but i can lift it slightly and access the storage. I have the DU-HA. Same exact thing as GM

I asked the same question for the same reason a month ago. In the end, I just bought the DuHa in the hopes I could rig something up to keep it in place.

 

Turns out, I didn't need to. I've had the container on the bare carpeting and now with a WeatherTech full floor liner. Been driving the truck for a month now, and it hasn't moved an inch, even without any straps or other means of keeping it in place.

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I might just give that a shot. I have the vinyl floors so I don't really need a floor liner, but maybe I can just do some velcro or something to hold it in place but till be accessible.

Kind of soccer mom ish but I bought 3 separate plastic bins black in color from Target to put my under seat stuff in. Cost me like 5 dollars each. They fit under the seat, have handles to be able to pull out and don't slide unless extremely hard braking. I have the floor liners so the bins are actually on vinyl.

That's a good idea, thanks.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
