    Dude I looked at drawer systems and, even though they'd be great, they're ridiculously expensive...so DIY it is.

    Should be done by then! Maybe not the finishing touches, but it'll be functional.

    I think DIY is better in this application, get it laid out exactly how you want it. I look forward to seeing it!

    I really like the Decked system but it sits too high in the bed IMO and also seems like a lot of wasted space underneath it all.

    I really considered a decked system in my tundra… until I saw what the empty weight was

    Around 230 lb empty. Which really isn't all that bad considering, but they are rated for more weight than the truck is rated to take, and if you're not fully using them they do take up a lot of bed space.

    At the end of the day, it all depends on your personal needs. If you have a shell, the decked system can actually be pretty functional while still giving you plenty of interior cargo space.

    And they make some wicked cool tool boxes and such of varying sizes

    I know most people here like some tires, so I thought I'd share my new ones. I hope I don't get hazed for this however, they are not for the Yota and are for my GF's Jeep JKR :anonymous: We almost lost our front driver's side wheel/tire assembly driving down HWY 32. I wanted to replace the hub's and trade the thing in for a new Bronco :thumbsup: We built one on the Ford website for around 54k, when we spoke with the stealership they said that they those trims and options were going for 80k plus :eek: With that said, I decided to just throw a lot of money at the Jeep and rebuild the front end put a Metalcloak suspension kit on it.

    We do have a lot of perpetually offended here in Dane County, but I'm certainly not one of them!
