I have the GM accessories one with the 2 piece lid. It was part of the rear seat storage package on my Custom Trail Boss. It's solid so it doesn't sag or bow. I pulled out the dividers/gun holders and I have so much stuff in it, I had to take the lids off as well so the seat bottom acts as the lid now. If you have the full floor OEM liners, you will need to trim it so the box sits on the floor. The mat already has the cut lines on the bottom of it where it needs to be cut so you don't have to guess or try to measure. It's held in place by the jack and the lug wrench hold downs so it's not going anywhere. You can put a padlock on the compartment lids on each side, but again, it's just plastic so it wouldn't take much to cut the lock off. I love it and have all my recovery gear stuffed in there. Air compressor, trailer hitch, tool bag, jumper cables, tie downs, tow rope, shackles, 2 folding shovels, sun shade. I'm sure there's other crap I've stuffed in there I'm forgetting!

Thanks @GETGONE! Did taking the lid off give you a lot more room - like there is a big space between top of box when closed and seat bottom? Thats what was I was considering when going between GM and DU-HA.

 There isn't much more room between the lid and the seat bottom, but you have to have it below or level with the top lip for the lids to snap on. I had just enough stuff that it was a problem to keep the lid snapped down so I wound up taking them off. I think the DU-HA is slightly larger as it comes up further towards the front edge of the seat bottom and it goes all the way to the bottom of the seat bottom. I saw the DU-HA on ebay after I bought my truck and probably would have went with that instead, but I thought the lid was a good idea at the time.

      upgrading speakers on 2026 std cab WT...

      By bwiese · Posted

      I don't wanna do major surgery/upgrades, behind-the-dash work, add amps, change radio etc. on my '26 std cab WT. On the WT, it has the base 7" IOR infotainment setup, and only two speakers (doors). Since I listen to classical, looked around for speakers that do well and dug thru reviews. Two-way speakers were found to be better than 3-way. So I've ordered a pair of  Infinity Reference REF-9632IX 2 way speakers.  [These may  or may not have been discontinued / succeeded by the 3-way ...9633 ones.]    These speakers are lauded for 3 ohm and 94db sensitivity spec so they'll work well for ordinary base car radios without amps and offer better performance (quality,  strength) than  default base paper-cone speakers. They'll be installed in a few days and I'll let y'all know what I think. Bill W San Jose

      Thanks!   Changed out the rear shocks today to Bilstein 5100s.  So far feel much better. The stock Rancho were wore out.  Lots of heavy hauling (2 moves, home renovations, etc).  Next up is new BFG tires Monday.  Cant wait the current tires have little to no wet traction and are super loud (hum)

      Correct way to service 2024 l8t allison trans?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      How about I just point to the factory pans stand pipe little drain plug and claim its a pan with a real drain plug !. I just couldn't swallow the fact that a Dorman pan which at this point is probably the only pan out there that fits the gas version truck cost that much up here in Canada so I decided initially anyway to skip it and see what I thought of pulling the pan method and down the road if I felt inclined enough then I would either install a drain plug kit in the factory pan if there is enough room for it, or have a bung welded onto it, or put an aftermarket pan on. The thing is if the pan is not pulled then the magnets in the pan can't be inspected and cleaned or if wanting to change out the filter. However of course it certainly would make the job easier to be able to drop the oil first before having to handle the pan if dropping the pan that go around was the goal.    I knew a guy locally that was doing custom field spraying years ago with a pickup pulling a ground driven sprayer, I believe it was a GM pickup with an automatic trans. He had a drain plug in his pan and would drop the oil out of it once a week and top it back up through the dipstick tube to keep refreshing a portion of the oil often and that made the transmission last far longer than had he done nothing. Soft fields pulling 500 gallons of water at the start of each mixed up sprayer tank batch and in low range sucking along. I imagine he got some tips from other custom sprayer outfits doing the same thing at the time and learning from their blown up tranny mistakes. Transmissions then had no lock up converter so would cook the crap out of the fluid slipping that much and it would not have been synthetic fluid either.
