Rear compartmented storage - DIY

[C Gerber]

I wanted compartmented storage in the truck bed, and ended up picking up 3 of these foldable hard milk crates and used those telescoping ratchet cargo bars. Works very well and when I don't want it there, those 3 crates fold right up and fit under the rear seats along with the bar. Not sure if others have such a need but I thought I would provide my solution for this.

and short bungie cords to hold the crates to the bars.

 

Thank you for looking!

This is great, thank you. I was just thinking about a bed extender to hold groceries and such in the back so my kids don't kick them. I think I'll try out something similar.

C Gerber what size creates? you were reading my mind. I acutally picked up a https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FOL0AA/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 & https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HV9JBO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 had to cut the cargo bar down but it is made for a semi so it is stout.

I also used crates like that was use a bed net to keep then from sliding.
