Bed storage ideas

What do you have for bed storage solutions? Looking for ways to store recovery gear and other things without them sliding around. Not interested in spending the $ for the Decked solution

 

Two ammo cans and on the wheel wells less than $100.

T nuts and you’ll have to figure out the rest to install, it’s easy

what about a simple tote? do you have an open bed or is it covered?

 

One ammo box up front, attached on the rails. Holds all my recovery gear, blends in well, stays out of the way, cost me $20.

 

How'd you attach the ammo box to the rails?

 

I have a soft tonneau cover.

 

I used one of these for storage in my tundra under the tonneau https://www.homedepot.com/p/Sterilite-27-Gal-Industrial-Storage-Tote-in-Black-14669004/206402052

 

I've been using the same Contico tool box for 15 years in 3 trucks. Strong, cheap, and functional.

Action Packers work really well too.

 

This looks great. How are you securing?

 

Currently I'm using screw down eyelet tie downs. On previous trucks I've drilled into the bed. Through-the bed-bolts would probably be more secure but I like the tie downs because they make the box easily removable. I move it to the side when i camp in back to give myself more headroom.

...edit...turnbuckle tie downs....now i remember that that's what these are called.

Hi-lift bolts to it perfectly.

 

T-slots and brackets.

 

Any kind of storage box and ratchet straps. Not the most practical but dirt cheap and it works.

 

I saw these at Campways in Sacramento, pretty cool.

I made a platform and keep all my heavy stuff, e.g., tools, compressor, recovery gear, shovel, traction boards, tripod and expensive camera gear I want to hide underneath it all packed away and hidden in tupperware rolling under bed boxes. And the best part is I have a pullout 6.5-foot long platform bed in my DCSB to sleep on:

I have the @KB Voodoo bed box.
Cover is typically rolled. But, I stand on it all the time, it van forward and back in rails. No weather issues.
Found some extra bins yesterday that can fit underneath
Very happy with it.
My frontier had the floor rails, and I used a heavy plastic tote mounted to those.
Tons of flexibility witg any of these trucks.
You imagination, and/or your budget are the limits.

 

Undercover Swing Cases FTW! You can pick up some used ones on CL or FBMP for about $150-$175 for a set.



Picked up a couple of these Plano cases at Academy for $20 for camping gear.

 

Which plano is that

 

I think they called it storage locker.

I use a foot locker and a bed drawer. Holds pretty much everything I need.
