Little storage compartments in bed

Regarding those little storage boxes in the bed, does anything you store in there stay dry? It looks like water would get in there from under the truck. I can foresee some rusty tools.
What do you store there?

 

Yeah, I'd imagine some water gets up there. You could plug it pretty easily though, right? Last I saw I just remember there being one 'drain' hole on the bottom.

On the driver side storage, I got bungee cords. I don't think I got anything on the passenger side.

 

No leaks but condensation, no bueno for good tools.

 

I bought the bed cubby covers and door gaskets found under “Bed Cubby Covers for sale” in the classifieds. They keep the water out but I also wrapped my road flares in a ziplock bag for extra insurance.

 

Tie Downs & small Tow Strap.

 

I installed these about four months ago. Before the storage compartments were basically unusable for me due to tuns of dust in the summer and mud / water in the winter. I went ahead and added some silicone around the edges and to cover small drain holes in the pieces to help seal out dust. So far every thing has stayed dry and dust free. Definitely worth the $22.

Mine get it all - as they are open to the wheel wells- both dirt and water get into them.

 

Same, also some bungee with plastic hooks.

 

I got some straps(inside a ziploc bag) and a cargo net....

 

I keep my ratchet straps inside the passenger side cubby and a tow strap in my driver side. They work great for that and that’s about it.

 

I was just coming in here to post about the Cubby Covers. Thanks @Captqc & @Lost In The Woods for the plugs; glad they are working well for you guys

Just ordered a set. Glad they are still available.

 

It'll be printed this afternoon and likely ship tomorrow or Wed

 

I just cut up some abs plastic, and used two part epoxy to seal all the holes on the bottom side of the cubbies, they stay a lots cleaner now

 

I use Ziploc bags, everything stays clean and dry.
