So I recently traded in my 2018 LT for a 2021 RST 4x4. It came with the gm rear underseat storage, but that thing is tiny. Are there any other bigger options out there? Like that actually goes to the edge of the seat. Doesn’t need to be lockable or anything, just bigger. 
 

thanks in advance.

I have the Du-ha also. GMC/Chevy makes an OEM one, seemed to be the two most popular when I was looking.

 

I have an extra one I'm selling if you're close to DFW.

Which one do you have the extra of? I'm interested.

The GM underseat storage is usless. I got the Du Ha for my 21 RST

I got the DU-HA in my '20 RST as well. 

 

I did extensive research on all the aftermarket under seat storage units. I went with the DU-HA because the OEM jack location is maintained INSIDE the DU-HA unit where others cover the jack up requiring you to remove the storage unit to get to the jack. It is bad enough to have a flat and need to use the jack, but to have to remove the contents of the under seat storage unit on the side of the road just to get to the jack was a deal breaker.

Let's be clear though, the GM unit, also has the jack inside.

 

I do agree with you on the stress level of roadside repairs either sunny and dry or dark and 2 foot of snow, they both suck.

I wasn't aware the GM unit did; thanks for the clarification. I ruled out the GM unit fairly quickly as it seemed smaller than the DU-HA unit and the covers looked like they were not removeable.

Thanks all. Ended up getting the du ha from Taco_ninja today. Good guy to deal with. 

I got the weathertech one first,but sent it back....front was very flimsy. Ended up going with the rough country under seat storage and its solid. Only mounts with the stock lig wrench tool kit wing nut so I can remove it easy if needed for the "future dog" to ride in the back with the seats up. The du-ha has mutliple mounting bolt areas making it a hassle to remove easily otherwise i would have bought that one because it offers a lot of space.

I went with Tyger for mine. No cutting factory mats, jack and handle bag go right back into factory spots inside, has gun rack and another holder if wanted. Not flimsy either, nice setup.

I got the Du-HA for mine and it has been excellent.  Its larger than most and fits well, no complaints.

Question for any of the different versions:

 

I have carseats installed and removing them, lifting up the seats to access the storage, then re-installing carseats would be a pain. If you didn't tie down the boxes can you get it over the lip of the all weather floormats to slide it out forward? Due to the middle hump I'm assuming pulling it out sideways isn't an option.

 

If it won't come out forward I may buy one, cut in in half, and 3D print some ends so I could pull the halves out sideways.

I've been waiting 5 years to get underseat storage but it would be useless for me with the car seats installed. I like your idea, but not sure how well they would stay in place if you didn't secure them.

Right now I have a couple small tool boxes stuffed under the seat and they don't slide much because I have the Husky full floor liner, which is fairly slip resistant. I'm following to see what you come up with.

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      They are talking about adding more tax to our fuel across Canada by the labour day time frame, its the carbon idiot tax increase on top of the pile of fuel taxes we already pay thanks to the WEF dictatorship running the country. 10 cents per liter on gas and 4 cents a liter on diesel I believe is what was said. That is a huge amount of a tax increase as its another 38 cents equivalent to a US gallon of gas. The reason our fuel is higher than the states already is because of of the high taxes they have imposed on fuel.

      Multigate Connector Difficult to Connect Fully

      This is just a thought as I can't claim this is the correct thing to do but will suggest it and you can decide if its something you would try. First round up some electrical contact cleaner spray as they at least claim its not supposed to damage the components ( brake cleaner depending on the type is a real destroyer of plastic etc ) and to use that to assist to clean out any grime from the pins as well as the mechanism by spraying and working the lever etc. Then my next thought is to use silicone spray lube and not on the pins but on the seal and the pivot assembly. It may not be possible to spray it on certain area's and have to use a q tip as Davestar mentioned to keep it from getting on the pins. Dielectric grease can be fine on some things but its easy to get too much on if not careful and then gunk things up and a possible risk of getting it on the pins or sockets. The silicone spray is able to get into a mechanical component to help lube and on surfaces its just a fine film to reduce friction such as that seal. Also it can be doused off with a good flush of the electrical contact cleaner the next time for a repeat of a "clean and then lightly lube" step process to wash off any dirt that had stuck to the exterior etc of the plug.   Free advice, yes. Good advice ... now there's the question mark !

      I just bought one of these.   https://www.topdon.us/collections/diagnostic-tools/products/artidiag-pro   Yeah, it`s got a cable. $250/year after 2 years. Do I want more? Yep. But, I`m not working any more and can`t afford a whirlpool in my tool box.

      Why don't I have a good scanner? I've always wanted one when I've needed one.   My latest reading says I don't need to do a relearn on the ckp sensor on a 1995 with OBD 1.5. The relearn is prescribed for the later-model 1995's which shipped with actual OBD II when GM completed the transition in prep for the 1996 MY. I need to confirm that. Did you know forums are disappearing? Knuckleheads on Facebook... it's not the same. It's just not.   So, scanners. Again, shooting myself in the foot for having eBayed my Snap On MT2500 "brick" with all the adapters. Not that I couldn't buy another but those are getting quite old, and mine wasn't new enough to work on 2000's vehicles.   Damn it (as I'm scanning my email between paragraphs here). Did you know there's a 2000 Jimmy 2-door on BaT that's ending this morning? It's local. I want it. 14k miles. Absolutely beautiful.   Back to scanners. MT2500's are old. Solus, now that could be a contender. There's a ~2008 Verus with a system error that's basically new in box for cheap. Hmm...I'm not sure about a scanner that runs an archaic version of windows (95 or CE, I can't tell).   I want the ability to reset and rotate TPMS, test individual modules, bleed ABS, electronic parking brake controls for servicing brakes, relearn procedures and other bidirectional controls.   Snap On does an MT2600. It's a new model as of last year, marketed as their "entry" scanner. Entry? Only where $1900 gets you through the doorway plus, I'm guessing, $1000/year if you wish to keep it current. So goes scan tools actually designed for production environments. Want decent products with excellent support, you pay for it.   Everyone is raving about Autels and TopDons and Foxconns and all these newer brands that are selling the $500 "prosumer" scanners for backyard hacks like me. They're tempting...honestly. Updates are cheaper, base prices are remarkably cheaper... And you get to deal with bugs and translation whoopsies and, well, just don't use it on anything expensive, OK? Having a dealer replace an ECU because it needs to be re-imaged after an adventure in scanning is no joke. But I think most people are getting by OK with these units.   eBay on a scratch-and-sniff pro-model oldie, a shiny new TopDon, or???   God dang it, I can't stop looking at this Jimmy. I'm ready! I'll Bring The TRailer! It's beautiful.
