Anyone have one of these? I want something to put ratchet straps and my hitch in, but I don't want one of the classic boxes that go under the rear window for how much space they take up. All of the brands I find on amazon seem to be made out of plastic, so not sure if it's worth it.

Open to other truck bed storage solutions too.

These are great if you never put a single thing in the back of your truck ever, especially not sheet goods like plywood or drywall.

>>2924156 (OP)
I had one and it was cool until the swing latch broke and I couldn't fix it
Mount it as high as possible to clear any sheet goods when possible

>>2924159
I haul stuff all the time which is why I don't want a traditional bed tool box. The swing boxes I've looked at are supposed to be easily removed by lifting them straight up
>>2924168
How did it break? From normal wear and tear? did you keep a lot of weight in it?

>>2924156 (OP)
put them in the glove box or door pockets, or in a bag under or behind a seat

>>2924198
holy shit this actually worked! mods delete thread, this anon fixed my life
>but what if the glove box is full of gloves and the only cabin storage is filled with tools already
checkmate

>>2924248

>>2924213
You don't own any tools

>>2924213
Well he's unironically not wrong. Is your cabin area so jam packed of fast food wrappers and other garbage you simply cannot fit the necessary tie downs and hitch under or behind the rear seat?
>All of the brands I find on amazon seem to be made out of plastic, so not sure if it's worth it.
Because if it were made of metal it'd be $500 and you definitely wouldn't buy it.

>>2924156 (OP)
Two issues: 1. avoid sun, will crack the plastic 2. avoid thieves equipped with box cutters.

You guys need to stop projecting fr
Yes I could just toss my shit all over the floor like a typical tradie, but I'd rather not. Half of the time I'm the DD, and I don't want people stepping on my stuff

>>2924296
Do you have a metal one (that's actually worth) $500 that you would recommend?

>>2924159
why, looks like you could slide full sheets in and out with box in place?

>>2924365
>Do you have a metal one (that's actually worth) $500 that you would recommend?
No, because I doubt someone makes one. Look for a storage thing to go under the seat.
>Half of the time I'm the DD, and I don't want people stepping on my stuff
Tell manuel you have ICE on speed dial if he steps on your stuff. Also, if its under the seat, how or why would they ever step on it?

Harbor Freight Hercules bag behind the passenger's seat. Don't leave your straps outside.

who makes this bumper

Thief here, I will be opening that box expecting 2in ratchet straps and a roll of romex.

>>2924918
it must really suck to be living in a democratic, diverse and inclusive city

>>2924472
This shit would never last on an actual work truck, one small bump and those will either never open again or ever close again

Functionally never happens. Once it is full of shit and heavy you'll never remove it.

>>2924365
I have the same rothco canvas toolbags as you :D

>>2924974
Are they super good and durable? I've wanted one for years!

Here's some really expensive accessory for your truck that won't work correctly after about 10,000 miles because it'll get shaken apart and gummed up with dust from the elements. But you can store a gun in an unusual place!

reminds me of this $4000 tailgate

>>2924156 (OP)
I just bolt my hitches in place with steel locking nuts. Theives aren't likely to carry two large wrenches. My straps go in soft cloth bags in the cab.

>>2924159
you don't have a truck. fuck off

>>2925096
Then you drive it over your 4000 tailgate being held up by two cables

>>2925088
unironically the best one in the thread, because tail gates are literally just hollow space
