Anyone rocking the Decked truck bed drawer system?

I am not a contractor and use my bed for the occasional Lowe's trip or occasional helping neighbor hauling stuff trip.   Therefore, I just saw the Decked system and am curious.  Has anyone here installed the drawer system and have regrets?

I am interested in this as well.  I'd need something that could be easily installed and removed because of the occasional haul of rocks and firewood and other things.

I have the system. It comes in real handy when it rains i put the groceries in the drawers so they do not get wet. When we go hunting the rifles go in the drawers. Same for the tools, easy to keep together.

I'd kind of like to get one but, can't justify the cost, most of the time my bed is empty except for a few tie straps and trailer hitches...

How difficult is it to install and remove from the bed? I have a soft tonneau cover but I've been considering getting this or a hard tonneau so I can put some of my tools in the back of my truck and not worry about them being stolen.

I have it installed in my truck along with a rigid aluminum tonneau cover. 

I love it. I had it dealer installed to save me a little effort along with the cover. I am going to be doing another mod on top of the decked drawers with another drawer too.

Just so people know too. The drawer system's false bed on top of the drawer system can support up to 2000 pounds as it is laced with steel support rods throughout their deck. :)

Keep in mind that the bed tat comes with the drawer system can support up to 2,000 pounds of weight.. so you won't have to removes the drawers to often I would guess. :)

It is not that difficult to install and or remove. It is some bolted tie downs that you would have to loosen up and then you can just remove the drawers and the system afterwards. Installing it takes a little more time but once done.. it is easy. Make sure to buy the locks for the system if you get the drawers if you are wanting to keep things secure and you don't have a locking tailgate.

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
