    Hey folks...

    I've had a Ridgline for sometime...yes its a Honda, but I miss the in-bed trunk storage. As a result I'm looking to get some 'bed storage' that will work and looking to find some sort of 'military' containers. Curious if anyone has done that and if so, where and what did you use?

    Theres a company that makes lockable storage bins that replace the tiny plastic ones in the sides of the bed. I think it's the same company that makes the console vault.

    There's a lot of trucks on the road with front-bed-mounted lockable storage bins. Maybe one of those would work for you? I've never liked the idea of bed-bottom storage, any cargo and its game over on them. That includes the lockable side bins. Of course front mounted bins also take up cargo space.

    Personally, I like keeping things that need to be locked up front in the cab.

    Understood...just trying to come up with a secure, relatively inexpensive alternative for the bed.

    Perhaps a combination of a surplus case and a manual lock.
