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!

      Your tire pressure issue may just be batteries, you can reset them using tge Ing switch (I think) and the owner's  manual. ChatGTP will b e a faster, better help than Google.

      The thinking is that starting out in a higher gear makes it easier to avoid applying excessive torque when pressing the gas pedal. In a modern 4wd truck with 4 low and a limited slip or locking rear end, I would use 4 low and try to crawl up the ramp. Sometimes if they are too slippery, you have to back up to let the boat have some bouyancy, and then accelerate briskly to get some momentum to help you pull the through the slippery parts.

      I have a Retrax pro that I first had on my 2020 chevy and transferred it to my current GMC.  It stays in the garage most of the time, so hard for me to judge it's long term weather resistance.  It still works perfectly, been very durable.  It doesn't see oil patch usage, but it's not a mall queen.  It keeps most things mostly dry (small leaks) and the security of it is enough to slow someone down but not keep them out for long.  I would buy one again, it works for me.

      Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.

      Multigate electrical problem

      By Another JR · Posted

      The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.
