    I did a weather proof mod to my cubbies, thanks to a member on TW. I also have a canopy on the truck, the cubbies stay dry.

    My tap shoes go in the big one, white gloves in the small one. They're part of my flashmob preparedness kit.

    Ratchet straps, gloves, hitch balls, and trailer lighting adaptor. My truck is in the garage most of the time, so I don't worry about that stuff getting wet.

    Usually just leave the door open on the drive home after airing up to let the compressor cool down. Also I only operate it with the door open. I only use it for airing up

    I've got a few ratchet straps, an old pair of work gloves and a can of fix-a-flat - which is not for the Taco but rather for my utility trailer for which I do not carry a spare. Too scared of the fix-a-flat bursting in the summer heat to leave it inside the truck.

    I used 2 inch AL flat stock, drilled a few holes, and put a bend in with a vice.

    @Benson X did a great writeup on how to make em on the cheap!

    Nothing. I had a few things stolen from them early on and too many times I came back to my truck to see the covers laying on the bed of the truck after some scumbag went looking to steal stuff. The covers lay on the floor behind my seat now.
