Under-seat storage?

I ordered one of these...cheap and cheerful...over $100 is still a lot for a piece of plastic, but I need a place to put gear under the rear seat. Anyone have it? Likes/dislikes? I bought it on Amazon in case I need to make use of their return policy.

I agree it's a lot for molded plastic but I spent about the same on my off-brand one from Amazon (linked below).  It works perfectly and is a great upgrade for interior storage.  Installation was very simple and only required a small cut to the factory floor liners I had to sit perfectly (which was noted in the listing so I knew it was happening).

Hello, that looks fine. I store quite a bit of stuff under the seat although I don't seem to use much of it. Lol.

 

I bought a Husky Liners Gearbox - Under Seat Storage Box | Fits 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 Double Cab, (2022 Limited) 2020-2024 Silverado/Sierra 2500,3500 Double Cab - Black, 1 Pc. | 09061 on Amazon as well. 

 

I also bought one of these for front seat storage if you have a jump seat. I picked up the recommendation and details on this forum back in 2021.

I wish I had the front bench seat. GM forces a $600+ option for buckets with a console in the Trail Boss with the convenience packages. There doesn't need to be shifter on the console at the very least, it's electronic anyway and just takes up space.

Not that I expect to use my jack, but how do you access it after you install one of these?

Installation instructions say to remove the jack and tool kit.  I guess you put it in the storage bin.

You remove the jack, install the tub, then the jack installs back in place so it's now "inside" the storage tub.

Same with the RC bin... looks like the bin secures on the stud for the jack and then the jack mounts inside. I'm not sure if the factory floor liner will need to be modified or not...I've found people saying it works just fine, or needs to be modified. I'll figure it out when it arrives.

The Husky Gearbox covers the jack and has to be removed by one wingnut to access the jack. The bag of jack tools is rite under the wingnut on the left side that secures the storage box.

I bought the DU-HA  storage bin and didn't have to trim the floor mats I my crewcab.

Well, nevermind on that. It arrived yesterday. I have the factory all-weather floor liner from GM, and it has a ~1" rigid lip on the back of it that outlines the rear floor where it meets the jack on the passenger side. Unless I want to cut up the floor liner to allow the box to sit flush and allow enough room for the seat to fold down, it's not going in.

 

I was hoping to just have to trim a corner or make a tiny little slice, not cutting out a 3"x12" section of the floor liner just to make the tub fit. I should have read more into the description, as way down in there it says it's not compatible with the all-weather floor liner (specifically from GM). Those who say it DOES work in the reviews clearly cut out a significant chunk of the liner. To get a different rear floor liner in there with a flat lip would be expensive because nobody allows you to buy just the rear (including Rough Country), so, it's going back.

 

The search goes on. The end result probably looks like a bag of some sort containing only what I need that stows under the seat. I was hoping for more contained/secure storage space in general, so I'll have to spend $225 on the GM under seat bin if I want to make it work. That's ridiculous, even more ridiculous than for RC's $119.95 for a piece of molded plastic.

The Husky Gearbox sits on top of the GM floor liner without any modification. The pricing is up there close to the GM. 

Seems to have good reviews, The link is for a double cab so if you may have to search for your year and model or go with the GM and guaranteed correct fit.

The GM one is the same way.  If you flip the rear liner over you can see the cut lines on it to use to modify.

 

That said, I have the GM one in mine.  I had trimmed the lip at first mainly, and it does fit.  But, it puts a slight twist in the bin and the lids sit mostly fine.  I likely will cut the mat down more.  I'll try and post a picture if I have time.

Same for mine too.  Fits perfectly after trimming!

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
