DECKED Storage System

You are missing 1/3 of your target market.
Must everyone purchase a $45k Tacoma to "qualify"?

 

Chase truck style....

 

Anyone know if a decked 6ft for a 2nd Gen would work on a 3rd Gen?

 

This is still a great idea and I can't believe it hasn't been done.

 

I considered going with a Decked system for my Tacoma, but instead opted for an ARB drawer system. I 100% agree that Decked makes an awesome drawer system, and it is a great solution. The reason I went for ARB was the roller-top floor, as it allowed me to gain better access to my gear -- I have a cap on the bed, so crawling inside is not something that I wanted to always do. Similar to the Decked system, the ARB drawers take up most of the bed space. I think if I was going to do it again, that I'd either ditch the drawers completely, or perhaps just go with some low-profile drawers, such as the ones offered by Goose Gear for the Tacoma.

 

I have the decked system and a super pacific camper on a short bed. Between camping, fishing, mtb and general use I'm super happy with it. Only now I'm thinking of cutting the smaller slide out on the left in place for my mtb on a fork mount while inside the camper.

If you could have one side with a cut out similar to the way goose gear has their removable "top plates", you could essentially have a space for a drawer slide and then when you wanted, pop in the "top plates" and have a full flat surface again.

 

I reached out to @decked. Had a product idea I thought might be cool. With the amount of odds and ends I usually have rolling around in my bed, I thought itd be cool if decked made short dividers of some kind that fit in the tracks on top of the decked system. Keep bags on one side, treestand on another, cooler from sliding or roll ping over, etc. maybe something 2-3” high to keep things on top on one place.

When I would go hunting before I had the decked system, the truck bed was a catch all with milk crates etc. did the job but it would be nice if I could keep my stand in one place, pack in another, cooler in place. Drawers have been clutch for stuff I always leave in the truck. Trail cams, tripod, binos, all the essentials. Might have to craft up something to test out.

 

Does anyone know if a Decked for a 2021 DCLB fit a 2010 DCLB?

 

I just finished installed the new decked 2.0 in my Tacoma, 2020 short bed.
Delivery was great and easy.
I read the instructions.
Laid out all the parts and pieces. Made sure to re-read instructions and follow along each page as I proceed with the installation.
Everything was pretty straightforward.

At the very end, when inserting the drawer it just did not want to close. The weather strip wasn’t pushed down all the way. So I gave it a good seating and tried to close the drawer again. It went but needed force to close. It feels like it requires too much force to close shut.
I wanted to include that the weather stripping tolerance is too tight and that the "ramp" side of the weather stripping ripped off when I closed the drawer. No image of this yet, but will update later. (update: you can see the weather stripping in the cracked photo - it is missing due to ripping off when closing)

Also, the face of the drawer has already cracked…. I think from just opening and closing the drawer. I’m a little bummed about it already cracking and filed a warranty claim. Day ONE.

@DECKEDUSA I’d love to hear any feedback or suggestions for a hard to close drawer

Also waiting for warranty claim response. It’s a holiday week so might be next week sometime.
Stay tuned.

Crack on the drawer face, top right corner. Not sure why this even happened.


EDIT: added photos, added text, tagged decked

 

I wanted to update, after posting to youtube and reading some of the replies to my comment. It seems that I am not the only person experiencing this exact issue. My deck seems to be warped downward in the middle and thats where its having trouble closing. The following day, this same person reported that the deck fixed itself somehow and the drawer closes without any more issue. I haven't checked on mine yet but will shortly and report back.
Just glad I am not the only one experiencing this. But now I might be after his latest update.

Here are the screenshots of the comments:

Thanks @microsnook for the update on the new system. I have the old one and really like it a ton and I was considering an "upgrade" in the future but I think I will stand fast with what I have until the new one has been out awhile longer.

 

My warranty claim was responded to within 24 hours.
They just needed to know what to send out and to verify address, etc.
They should be sending out a new drawer along with a new strip of the weather stripping for on top of the drawer.
I loosened my torsion bar and operated the drawer several times and re-tightened it. Now the operation of the drawer feels as it should. Smooth opening and closing. Just need to replace the cracked drawer face and weather stripping and it should be perfect.

 

Just installed my Decked system Saturday. My weather strip is too tight and jams the drawer up. I am going to try and take the torsion bar off and try adjusting it, but other than that, it is phenomenally easy to assemble and the instructions (both written and the video) were top-notch (and funny). I did buy the optional locks for the drawer and cubbies.
