Decked storage system

Looking for pictures of a decked system with items actually in the drawers. i’ve read through the east/south/west decked sponsored threads by members, but i didnt see any pictures showing what actually fits into the drawers. I saw one with an alucab fridge slide on it but that was about all.

I’m on the fence about buying one of these systems as I am worried i’d be losing to much useable bed space from the design. I see ithers have the same concern.

Appreciate any pictures of the decked system in a tacoma with a loadout in them so I can get an idea of scale.

 

I was checking these out today and also searching TW to see if any members had posted a review, photos, etc. No such luck.

I found these photos on Decked's website. Looks like the smaller drawer will be good for your tie-down straps, hitch, smaller tools. Looks like the larger drawer will be more versatile than the latter.

The reviews on Decked's website were mostly positive.

Good luck!

 

It just seems like you could fit so much more stuff with plastic bins and a tonneau cover. But Idk.

I’m in the same boat. I just bought a custom system that was so horribly constructed, that it was returned. I’m looking for something off the shelf I can make fit my needs, hoping the decked will work.

 

Hey guys! Just got a decked system installed! And I gotta say I’m never going back! I had a homemade plywood sleeping platform. This is going to take that over. I gotta say the drawers really allow a ton of use of the bed. I have a friend that has the short bed decked and I have the long bed system. Both allow for tons of storage. I’ll post some pics tomorrow of what I can stuff in there. And I would say you probably could fit more stuff in a bunch of plastic bins and throw them in your truck. But I absolutely hated digging through multiple bins and moving crap around to get what I wanted. It’s convienent to have your stuff slide out to you. Here is an initial pic I took. Oh and if your worried about it not holding enough weight my girlfriend decided to test it by laying in it no drawer droop!

 

I want one if there will be enough room to sleep in the back with it and a sleeping mattress

 

I’ll be doing a YouTube video review on the system anything you guys want to specifically see? I’ll try and get my buddies short bed system so you can see them side by side.

what bed length do you have? I’ll gladly setup my sleep system and take some shots if you wish. And what mattress will you be using?

 

I have a 6ft,leer 180xl.

 

Ok I’m 5,9 and fit comfortably in the back. No scrunching my legs up.

 

Ya I’m just wondering if I’ll be able to sit up with a sleeping pad or mattress on top of the deck,I also wonder if I can load a snowmobile on it

 

Yes on the snowmobile without the cap. And I would say probably a no go on sitting up completely straight you would need to keep your head lowered some.

 

I did not notice these in any of the photos from Decked's website. Are these an add-on option for additional security?

 

Those are bed stiffeners that I believe have a group buy right now... I don't know if they aid any at all but some people seem to like them.

 

These are the bed side stiffeners.

 

@Overkill07 has one and we use it regularly. It's completely loaded up with stuff, those drawers are sturdy.

 

I would love to see a video and some more pictures of the useable space. They look like your going to loose a lot of space with them. That being said, i do not pack heavy, but i carry my recovery gear and other stuff 100% of the time. I am regularly pulling people out on my job site.

 

I was going to film today but rainy weather here so I’m going to try tomorrow.

 

Hmmm I might see if @Overkill07 wants to make a video. I haven’t made one in a while.

 

Alright guys. Went out a filmed today editing now hoping to have a video up here shortly.
