    Thank you.

    Thanks. I still need to come up with a better way to stabilize the jack but it works pretty well.

    Thank you.

    Love the elevating rack idea! Great job! I WAS proud of my work, but now I think I need to go back to the drawing board.

    I love my action Packers. I keep two of them loaded up. One is my kitchen, coleman stove fuel and all the supplies spatulas knives forks paper towels dish soap. The other one has my 3 person tent my sleeping pads and air pillows and a couple of lanterns. I just picked up a 3rd action packer for sleeping gear bags and other assorted stuff. I throw these 3 boxes in my bed toss some chairs in and some food in the fridge and I am down the road in about an hour. They have sat out in heavy rains and hail storms with out an issue.

    Cool idea with the dividers. I still use the yellow top bins and I agree it's not ideal that the lids hold water on the top. That's really my only complaint with them. I like the wider lip on the top of the bin. I added a strip of weather stripping to all of mine to keep dust/water out of them and it's worked really well. Something similar could maybe work on the Action Packer too.

    I have a set of Adrian steeler stow-all drawers:



    It was built for an LR3, but fits perfectly between the fender wells. I have about 5 inches underneath my roll-n-lock tonneau cover. Yes, it's heavy, but the organization it provides is worth it. I did the rubbermade totes for so many years, and the drawers made life so much easier. No more rummaging, hurting my back taking totes in and out of the truck. The drawers fit my tent, bag, dry food, kitchen stuff, and my recovery stuff.

    I have firestone riderite airbags with the 4 leaf TSB pack. Empty, 5 PSI, fully loaded for that road trip, 15 PSI, and it gave me a buttery smooth level ride.

    I would recommend airbags for any expo rig that is also a DD so you can tune the ride to your loadout.

    I did some field testing for a set of aluminum drawers for a company called Diabolical Inc. The owner is an aircraft engineer and you can see that coming through in the construction. I was very impressed with the different boxes. I didn't end up getting some for myself because I was selling the Tacoma and I needed the third row in my cruiser so I didn't have a good way to use them. I'm looking at them again for drawers for my trailer. Might be a good option for those of you looking

    I don't think he's on here. Local guy in our cruiser club picked it up. It continues to be well used and cared for.
    Thanks for the compliment .
