sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb lost my account password. I love any tricks you can give me!
@Jake Alexis i really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
I will have shorter Pelican Cargo ONLY video coming out soon that will cover technical details on install. I need to get my brackets in the bed switched out first and of course beat them up a little... Subscribe to be notified when new videos drop. This was more a "Storage Comparison" video and it was already long. Thanks for your patience while I get the right brackets.
Big shout out to @BFGoodrich for sponsoring this Video's Giveaway. They were super generous and didn't ask for anything in return. It is Baja 1000 Week this week so I bet if you check out their channel they will have a lot of amazing videos going up this week.
17:58 Great video. Though I don’t understand why people have so much salt over what you buy. I buy the best I can afford. Their is always something better on the market.
Bomb @ 17:58! This was helpful to consider removable cases other than the decked system so I can still feel confident pushing limits off-roading, throwing a dirt bike in or anything else I’d need my full bed for. Great video!
Yeah... I think this is the one thing Pelican figured out really well... what if I want Semi permanent storage but freedom take out easily when I want. One quick not on the Decked system... You can definitely put a dirt bike on top of it... those things are tough!.. which is what makes them a little heavy... 🤷♂️
We have a WINNER - I exported the first 100 entry comments to a spreadsheet and then used numbergenerator.org to pull a random number... it was 33 if you are curious. AUSTIN L. WRITE is our WINNER. Enjoy the RC car and other BFGoodrich goodies...
Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. It doesn’t feel like you are “selling” one over another. Just describing what they each do. I really appreciate your channel. 👍
So glad I found this site. Nathan is objective articulate and trustworthy. Lot of fun to listen to. Theres the weekend warriors and the month long overlanders but fon't forget us boondockers - people on the road full-time. We're watching too.😃
Thanks Dave... We will try and keep getting good content out. It has been really fun putting this stuff out and interacting with the Overland Community... so many cool people.
Yeah that is probably a good thing for people to realize... it is very convenient... but you do have to be able to get up there and reach over it to unlatch it. Glad it was helpful... thanks for watching.
17:58 thought the bomb was a picture on the wall. Great timing just starting to look at cases. Going to by a pelican cooler at a local Dicks so I can return it if necessary. Drains have been leaking, buy and test.
I had to at least try to be creative with where I put the logo... Good luck with the cooler... I have tested both Yeti, RTIC and Cordova coolers... honestly never had a problem with any of them... Since we do a lot of Whitewater Rafting we get to test a LOT of coolers. I am sure Pelican's coolers are probably on the same level... you might want to do a quick price comparison ... good luck
17:57 Nice video on different options on how to store your cargo. I have used Pelican and Storm Case who is now owned by Pelican in the past for work. They are nice and durable. One thing I would like to point out is that Pelican will replace parts that get damaged on your case as part of the warranty which is pretty cool.
I've been giving the Decked drawers serious consideration, but your review was the final push I needed to convince me they are exactly what I need going forward. Thanks!
I love mine so much... In the White Tundra I can't fit them because of the Long Travel Bed frame... It is the number 1 thing I miss. They are so awesome for organization.
Thank you sir. I had the Pelican deck system in my cart and was ready to spend some hard cash..then I saw this review. Saved me a few hundred bucks. I'll wait for a later version for the Pelican.
Hey Nathan, I just stumbled across your video while checking out the Pelican brand cargo boxes online. Nice video, thanks man. So from the "for what it's worth corner", I really like the Pelican cases b-u-u-u-t, just like the Roam cases, they are a bit pricey, unfortunately. "Meanwhile, back at the ranch," I travel months at a time and actually like yourself, have been using the Plano brand trunks. To be more specific, I use the 108qt. "Heavy-Duty Sportsman Trunk". These trunks are a bit more sturdy than the regular Plano trunks and I haven't experienced any issues with them yet. (Knock on wood). I strap them onto my Gobi Stealth roof rack and have been through some pretty good down pours and dusty environments with no leaks or dust issues and that's even before I added some weather stripping to the channel on the lids. The weather stripping (md Auto & Marine Rubber Weather Seal - 5/16" H x 23/64" W x 17' L, purchased at Home Depot), fit perfectly in the lid channel and has created an even better seal. The "heavy-duty" trunks also have four latches, two latches on each "long" side of the box along with the 4 lock holes. They also have two wheels on one end and a handle on the other, so that you can pull the trunk around instead of carrying them. Which I've found to be nice. Yes, the latches are still "plastic", so you do need to exercise some amount of care when operating them. Especially, if you add the weather stripping like I did. (Things get a little tight). All-in-all, for the price (around $40.00 each unless you luck out like I did and find them at Cabela's for $24.00 ea.), I think that they're a good bargain for those of us who have to keep the budget in mind. Well then, why am I looking at other solutions? Thanks for asking, I'll tell you why. ;-) I'd actually like to find something with a little "lower profile" (less drag), than these Plano boxes, but still with decent storage space available. At approximately 14" in height, that's a lot of head-wind you hit. Especially, on windy & rainy days. Which doesn't help on the "mpg's" if you know what I mean. So as I had mentioned earlier, I'm pretty interested the Pelican brand cargo cases, just kind of having a hard time making that leap as far as their prices are concerned. What are the actual sizes of the Pelican cases that you've used so far? Thanks.
Excellent review. Decked/Cargo cases was my first search. You actually thoroughly compared the utility of both. As I was wondering whether I could mount Pelican cases on the Deck... You fully answered my question. 😎
What do you think about this side opening Yakima cargo boxes that are meant to sit on top of sedans? I have a mid height bed rack that I’m thinking of mounting one on there and I figured they have more space and opening from the side helps with loading/unloading. Since I’m a ground tent type of guy I have that rail space available for it.
Home run! I add a rubber seal the my Plano cases to keep dust out. I take the bar off my saw to fit in a Plano, 2 minute job to reattach. Decked system rules. I may pick up a Pelican case, love the Pelican cooler.
Pelican checks all the convenience boxes for sure... if you do a lot of overlanding or especially if you are on the road permanently... the Cargo cases would be a dream.
With all the talk about the Pelican mounting system options, would have been helpful to see close ups of how they mount. Although it sounds like you are waiting on the correct bed mounting brackets. I appreciate the rafting comparisons. Would you trust the Pelican Cargo Boxes on the river? I’ve used the normal Pelicans on the river for years, would be interesting to know how they compare. Seems like the new cargo boxes wouldn’t be as waterproof. Boredom Bomb at 17:59. 💣👍 Keep up the great work!
Great feedback... and yes, unfortunately I am waiting on the bed brackets. I will do a much shorter "Install video" just on the Pelican Cargo when they get here. Even the Roof Rack brackets need a basic walk through if you aren't installing them on a front runner rack so I will cover both... that will be a much shorter video just on technical items related to Pelican Cargo. This video is definitely more of a "things to consider" when planning a storage solution. We do take the Yeti on the river and have had no issues so far. it really is an indestructible little box that works great for rafting.
17:58... Thanks again for such quality content on RUclips! I really think you're one of the best channels out there and I appreciate Your real world reviews... The one thing I'll say about the deck system that I don't like is that they don't make an 8-ft bed length option for a super duty Ford... Thank you and stay well!
@@OutdoorAuto no, you pretty much nailed it. I did just watch a video on the apache cases from harbor freight. They look awesome for half the price of the pelican
@@OutdoorAuto - Appreciate it and the videos - just starting out in Overlanding - 07 GX470 - and the info you have been providing is very helpful. I live over on the wet side of Oregon so you're videos showing actual sunshine are always helpful as well!
I like the decked system but when I take my family we have like 4 large bags that need to go in the bed and I like to use a roll n lock cover to secure the bags and protect from weather. Not enough height left between decked system and bottom of roll n lock cover. I think my solution may be cross bars over the bed and using ROAM 95L on top to store equipment.
I was so happy when I saw that was what BFGoodrich sent for a giveaway for that exact reason... it is basically a thing all guys probably want but we would probably not buy for ourselves... basically the perfect thing to win. Big thank you to BFG...
Hey. I had 2 brackets that would come open out of 4. I was initially really concerned but I figured it out and came to the same conclusion as you. I solved it easily by bending with pliers as well. Though I will say if you have security concerns you can also get the TSA luggage locks to secure them and ensure they won't come open or someone won't take them while you're in the grocery store.
Time stamp17:58 through 18:10, not sure how to link it like some other people have done sorry!! Awesome video though, really wanting to find some slim storage boxes for on top of my 4runner
I have seen a lot of people use both Pelican and Plano Rifle cases for a Super slim solution... the hard part is you basically compromise the case's integrity a little bit in order to "bolt" it on... or you have to go the strap route.
What would be really cool is the Pelican boxes with a slide mount that you could attach to a Decked system. Granted there are slider bed arrangements you could use. But imagine being able to just flick a release and be able to slide them out where they were easy to access and not have to mess with unhooking them to get at stuff.
A mix would likely be the best option, spend money on the everyday uses then get the cheap stuff for the things you dont use that often. Easy access while tied down for what you use often, cheap but more work for the stuff you dont...
Window/door weatherstrip fits into the Plano Sportsman trunk lid to provide a pretty great weather seal. I stole the idea from someone else and can't find the video, but I have done it to all of mine. Simple, cheap increase to the weather protection for these bins.
I do have 2 huge Pelican Cases. My girls said use those, I said perfect. Going use them in an FJ. But looking at that Rack one. Looks cool to add on. But Do you need their Rack? Mine is rounded. There has a Grove.
You probably wont be able to use the factory mounting on the roof rack if it isn't theirs... but dont worry. I mounted mine on a different rack... yes I had to drill a couple holes... but it was no big deal. BTW - If you have ever had questions on offroad/overland Jacks... check out the new video that just went live.
Good for you for buying pelican cases I’ve been doing photography since I’m a kid and I’m nearly 50 years old and I am on 12 pelican cases for camera gear from small ones to very very large ones and they’ve never ever let me down so yeah they are easily worth the money they’re asking for these products. So to the people who can’t afford them out there I am a blue-collar worker I don’t make much money also do was save my pennies until I can afford to buy a decent quality products it’s just that simple. Sometimes you have to give up something for a little while to buy something else you want it’s just reality of the world a lot of us live in. Buying buying a high-end decent quality product that makes you feel Good and it is what you wanted is not a bad thing and it doesn’t make you a bad person.
17:58 I've been looking for a reasonably priced cases to store in the garage and throw in the truck when i hit the road. too big and they get too heavy. gotta be dust/water resistant. I've noticed some use the Rigid portable tool storage boxes. great budget option. love this channel. keep up the great work!
I like the Pelican cases, but they need to make one that's in between the BX80 and the BX135. I really like the ROAM except they have way too much overhang that takes up way too much space on getting your gear in and out of them. But think I'm going with the Rugid cases - same with them, wish they had a tweener size.
17:58 I have just discovered you and I love the videos. I'm about to turn my F150 into an overlander and you have helped me understand a lot. Also I bought a Swiss Link box. What is your opinion of those?
I don't know Swiss Links... I will have to check them out! Good luck with your build and getting out there. Don't let the build slow down the adventures.
I don't know if prices have changed since this was published but the Pelican cases are actually pretty competitively priced compared to Roam and 23Zero cases. They are all in the same range, and the Pelicans appear to be much higher quality.
Hey man,140R vs 90R for the safejack set, sleeping bag for 4 (few of them XL size for the cold weather) , mid size pillows . It's 100 bucks plus space of roof rack. Thanks
Great video man! I’m picking up my new truck this month, and am excited to get into over landing asap. Obviously I’d want to get better equipment like the Pelicans down the road, but for now those Plano’s will keep me out of debt and on the road more - and help me figure out what I want/need when looking at upgrading my setup. Thanks!
I still use PLanos on every big trip... they are great and a great place to get going... - If you have ever had questions on offroad/overland Jacks... check out the new video that just went live.
Pouches, pouches.. and a bigger pouch .. I laughed . Saw your boredom bomb at 17:58 Great content Would be rad to snag that RC car- my 11 yr old would love to drive a yota like his old man :) - keep it up boss!
Great video! I love my planos. They are a versatile case, I won't trust them to my roof rack, but they work. But those new pelican cases are so sexy. My mind has a decked system and the pelicans mounted inside on the bed rail... That's for when I win the lottery... Guess I should start playing ;) lol
I wish I had found the plano bins before I bought the home-depot yellow top bins. the yellow tops are good, but I suspect the planos are more weather resistant.
Good point... I actually should have mentioned the Yellow Top Cases... my problem with them is (If they are the ones with the fold flaps on top) they cant handle any moisture at all... the flap top grooves naturally channel the water straight into the case. If you have the ones with the solid lid... then those are better... but yes, the Plano are very surprising how weatherproof they are without any kind of rubber seal.
If you have a base camp and you want to lighten your truck load, could you simply remove the sliding drawers? If not, you could certainly remove the contents that are not critical for the trail on that day.
This is the video I’m looking for on researching the pelican case. Thank you. Can you tell me the model of this particular case you reviewed. It’s the perfect solution for rear cargo storage on my atv.
17:58 Definitely would enjoy playing with it with my little brother while at a camping spot! If I’m the chosen winner, you can play with it before sending it to me! And good advice also!!
good break down of the clasp issues and design -- I'm guessing these need to be redesigned to be bigger - bigger holes, tongues etc. I wonder if that clasp will still work (easily) with mud or ice on them? do you have any experience with that?
I love Tundras... Once I went to the full size platform for extended trips... now I dont know if I could go back... I have a full build video out there but it will need an update soon...
Appreciate the support... I am working on a bunch of new informative overland videos right now... should se them coming out over the next couple weeks.
I originally liked the idea of the decked system and it's not terribly priced for what it is...but to me, it feels terribly inefficient as the two drawers are very narrow and odd shaped. I do like the plastic construction tho, weather proof and wicked durable I'm sure. Going to be building one to integrate our kitchen, using Baltic birch ply, and locking 5ft or 6ft ball bearing slides then getting it coated in lineX when I'm don't building it. Some of these cases on top of the drawers would be good, I'm still running a tonnue tho to help security and weather. Then rack and tent are 10" or so off the bed rails.
I think Decked has an amazing product... they engineered it so well for strength... but I agree with you that it is a more narrowly focused product than people realize... If you are overlanding and trying to optimize every square inch of space and weight it does have its downfalls... but I think even those downfalls only apply to a pretty specific/prolific group.
Great video! I'm still awaiting a Gobi Rack for my Jeep and was wondering if I would just be able to strap down the pelican cargo case with just regular straps (pakmule) without the frontrunner mounting brackets. Can the straps run up and under through the Pelican brackets on the case? Thanks!
Decked system doesn't do anything to stiffen the rear... so... Yes. But also I don't think most people need bed stiffners unless they plan on Rock crawling or carrying a lot of weight on a bed rack.

Not enough height left between decked system and bottom of roll n lock cover. I think my solution may be cross bars over the bed and using ROAM 95L on top to store equipment.
I have been won over by the shells… like the GFC for this reason.
17:58 tons of love for doing the work for me!
Well, Thanks for watching.
17:58 I am glad I found this over-land-ing channel. Lol I will be saving up for the pelican cargo cases.
I am glad you found it too... Hopefully it is helpful in some way and doesn't just burn a hole in your pocket.
17:58 Awesome video and boy would I love to win that prize! Reminds me of being a kid building those cars with my dad!
I was so happy when I saw that was what BFGoodrich sent for a giveaway for that exact reason... it is basically a thing all guys probably want but we would probably not buy for ourselves... basically the perfect thing to win. Big thank you to BFG...
@@OutdoorAuto Good for family fun and for being cooped up during Covid. You can have an offroading adventure even at home!
Good luck, Ben!
17:58 I'm happy with Planos but I'll seriously look into new Pelican products. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! Good luck in the drawing.
Try the Echo brand square case for your chain saw. I carry mine in my truck and on my side by side it takes a beating.
I am going to check that out... square case would definitely make it easier.
:30! That RC truck is amazing!
Hey. I had 2 brackets that would come open out of 4. I was initially really concerned but I figured it out and came to the same conclusion as you. I solved it easily by bending with pliers as well. Though I will say if you have security concerns you can also get the TSA luggage locks to secure them and ensure they won't come open or someone won't take them while you're in the grocery store.
It’s always nice to hear from other people so I know I’m not the only one. Absolutely agree about the locks... good for peace of mind.
Time stamp17:58 through 18:10, not sure how to link it like some other people have done sorry!! Awesome video though, really wanting to find some slim storage boxes for on top of my 4runner
Welp look at that it links it for you!
I have seen a lot of people use both Pelican and Plano Rifle cases for a Super slim solution... the hard part is you basically compromise the case's integrity a little bit in order to "bolt" it on... or you have to go the strap route.
@@OutdoorAuto the other part of the equation is being on a college budget for now 😂
What would be really cool is the Pelican boxes with a slide mount that you could attach to a Decked system. Granted there are slider bed arrangements you could use. But imagine being able to just flick a release and be able to slide them out where they were easy to access and not have to mess with unhooking them to get at stuff.
That would be awesome!
Definitely loving the pelican cargo boxes. Tough choice between them and Roam. Love your videos, thank you.
A mix would likely be the best option, spend money on the everyday uses then get the cheap stuff for the things you dont use that often. Easy access while tied down for what you use often, cheap but more work for the stuff you dont...
Window/door weatherstrip fits into the Plano Sportsman trunk lid to provide a pretty great weather seal. I stole the idea from someone else and can't find the video, but I have done it to all of mine. Simple, cheap increase to the weather protection for these bins.
Great tip 🙏
I have 3 of the Plano Box and put it on top of my Prinsu rack for my tundra and had driven through rain and it holds well and dry
I do have 2 huge Pelican Cases. My girls said use those, I said perfect. Going use them in an FJ. But looking at that Rack one. Looks cool to add on. But Do you need their Rack? Mine is rounded. There has a Grove.
You probably wont be able to use the factory mounting on the roof rack if it isn't theirs... but dont worry. I mounted mine on a different rack... yes I had to drill a couple holes... but it was no big deal. BTW - If you have ever had questions on offroad/overland Jacks... check out the new video that just went live.
Good for you for buying pelican cases I’ve been doing photography since I’m a kid and I’m nearly 50 years old and I am on 12 pelican cases for camera gear from small ones to very very large ones and they’ve never ever let me down so yeah they are easily worth the money they’re asking for these products. So to the people who can’t afford them out there I am a blue-collar worker I don’t make much money also do was save my pennies until I can afford to buy a decent quality products it’s just that simple. Sometimes you have to give up something for a little while to buy something else you want it’s just reality of the world a lot of us live in. Buying buying a high-end decent quality product that makes you feel Good and it is what you wanted is not a bad thing and it doesn’t make you a bad person.
17:58 This would be an awesome addition to the truck! I could run the RC truck when weather is nasty!
I like this plan.
17:58 I've been looking for a reasonably priced cases to store in the garage and throw in the truck when i hit the road. too big and they get too heavy. gotta be dust/water resistant. I've noticed some use the Rigid portable tool storage boxes. great budget option. love this channel. keep up the great work!
I like the Pelican cases, but they need to make one that's in between the BX80 and the BX135. I really like the ROAM except they have way too much overhang that takes up way too much space on getting your gear in and out of them. But think I'm going with the Rugid cases - same with them, wish they had a tweener size.
17:58 I have just discovered you and I love the videos. I'm about to turn my F150 into an overlander and you have helped me understand a lot. Also I bought a Swiss Link box. What is your opinion of those?
I don't know Swiss Links... I will have to check them out! Good luck with your build and getting out there. Don't let the build slow down the adventures.
17:58, great videos and this one is just the info I was looking for !
Awesome... thanks for watching.
Will the Pelican Bed Cases, that mount above the wheel well - Fit Below a bed cover? Will the BakFlip close on top of it?
Thanks for all the info. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.
17:58 amazing storage options but I think I will stick with the Plano mainly do to cost 😂 believe me I will make them work!!!
There is a reason they are in the video... they are the cost effective heavyweight champion of overlanding. 😂
@17:58 Glad to finally see this video drop! Thanks for all the hard work!
17:58 -18:10 Sneaky ... I noticed it when it disappeared...
Just trying to keep it fun 😉
Did you feel like you have enough room with the decked drawers and mid height rack for an ice chest in the back??? I have Tacoma.
I don't know if prices have changed since this was published but the Pelican cases are actually pretty competitively priced compared to Roam and 23Zero cases. They are all in the same range, and the Pelicans appear to be much higher quality.
I think they came down a bit… I just like the flexibility of them.
One thing I noticed about overlanding enthusiasts is that they have more to say than Louis, Clark and Sacagawea. Thanks for the info.
I like the action packers.
17:58 man I'm a new subscriber but I love the videos. I've recently got into overlanding ( not a word) lol with my son and were loving it so far.
17:58 to 18:10 love all your videos helping me with my tacoma build so much!
17:58
Thank you for always putting out such informative information! I take something away every time.
Whew! well thats the goal... Hopefully these videos help people.
Hey man,140R vs 90R for the safejack set, sleeping bag for 4 (few of them XL size for the cold weather) , mid size pillows . It's 100 bucks plus space of roof rack. Thanks
Great video man! I’m picking up my new truck this month, and am excited to get into over landing asap. Obviously I’d want to get better equipment like the Pelicans down the road, but for now those Plano’s will keep me out of debt and on the road more - and help me figure out what I want/need when looking at upgrading my setup. Thanks!
I still use PLanos on every big trip... they are great and a great place to get going... - If you have ever had questions on offroad/overland Jacks... check out the new video that just went live.
What kind of truck do you have
17:58 just getting into overlanding and storage is currently on my shopping list. great timing
Pouches, pouches.. and a bigger pouch .. I laughed . Saw your boredom bomb at 17:58 Great content Would be rad to snag that RC car- my 11 yr old would love to drive a yota like his old man :) - keep it up boss!
I was pretty happy when that thing showed up. Good luck!
Great video! I love my planos. They are a versatile case, I won't trust them to my roof rack, but they work. But those new pelican cases are so sexy. My mind has a decked system and the pelicans mounted inside on the bed rail... That's for when I win the lottery... Guess I should start playing ;) lol
Yeah... Pelican with Decked is a pretty amazing system to get really organized and make getting out a lot more convenient... but a lot more pricey .
@@OutdoorAuto sometimes though, the convenience is worth it, sometimes. Lol
17:58 Love the information, maybe don’t worry about the criticism so much? Great channel & thanks!
Good advice...
I wish I had found the plano bins before I bought the home-depot yellow top bins. the yellow tops are good, but I suspect the planos are more weather resistant.
Good point... I actually should have mentioned the Yellow Top Cases... my problem with them is (If they are the ones with the fold flaps on top) they cant handle any moisture at all... the flap top grooves naturally channel the water straight into the case. If you have the ones with the solid lid... then those are better... but yes, the Plano are very surprising how weatherproof they are without any kind of rubber seal.
@@OutdoorAuto Yeah - I've got the solid lid versions. They're "decent" - I wouldn't stand on them :) But for same price as plano plano wins
Where did you get the hardware to mount the front runner brackets on the prinsu rack?
17:58
Thanks for the video. I’m trying to decide what storage I want to go with for weekend trips.
I just got a Pelican box and its great. For my application the Plano was just a bit too tall but I wanted something more durable anyway.
Hi, which Pelican box did you get? What are the dimensions? Also, do you mount it onto your roof? Thanks.
What is the model number for the pelican cargo case?
There are a bunch of different styles... I posted a link in the description that has all of them.
If you have a base camp and you want to lighten your truck load, could you simply remove the sliding drawers? If not, you could certainly remove the contents that are not critical for the trail on that day.
I"m redoing what I have timing is everything...Yes I have Plano now but that Pelican as I'm planning a long trip may be a good investment. Tks
This is the video I’m looking for on researching the pelican case. Thank you. Can you tell me the model of this particular case you reviewed. It’s the perfect solution for rear cargo storage on my atv.
The rectangular one on the roof is the BX90 ...
17:58 - 18:10 like those Pelican cases.
17:58
I just copied everyone else.
But at 12:40 what is the cylinder on the top of the windshield on the driver's side?
That is a WeBoost Cell Booster... I did a review on them here - ruclips.net/video/QUVEfKBIUwk/видео.html
17:58 Definitely would enjoy playing with it with my little brother while at a camping spot! If I’m the chosen winner, you can play with it before sending it to me! And good advice also!!
good break down of the clasp issues and design -- I'm guessing these need to be redesigned to be bigger - bigger holes, tongues etc. I wonder if that clasp will still work (easily) with mud or ice on them? do you have any experience with that?
I had no new issues with Mud... worked great. Ice season is just now getting to Idaho... so We will see... I think they will probably be fine.
17:58 awesome job!
THanks 🙏
17:58. Nice to see a Tundra build.
I love Tundras... Once I went to the full size platform for extended trips... now I dont know if I could go back... I have a full build video out there but it will need an update soon...
17:58
Love your content, one of the most informative people I have come across.
Far out... Cool truck!
Appreciate the support... I am working on a bunch of new informative overland videos right now... should se them coming out over the next couple weeks.
if i had a truck, decked would definitely be my option, but only owning a CUV in limited to roof rack
I originally liked the idea of the decked system and it's not terribly priced for what it is...but to me, it feels terribly inefficient as the two drawers are very narrow and odd shaped. I do like the plastic construction tho, weather proof and wicked durable I'm sure. Going to be building one to integrate our kitchen, using Baltic birch ply, and locking 5ft or 6ft ball bearing slides then getting it coated in lineX when I'm don't building it. Some of these cases on top of the drawers would be good, I'm still running a tonnue tho to help security and weather. Then rack and tent are 10" or so off the bed rails.
I think Decked has an amazing product... they engineered it so well for strength... but I agree with you that it is a more narrowly focused product than people realize... If you are overlanding and trying to optimize every square inch of space and weight it does have its downfalls... but I think even those downfalls only apply to a pretty specific/prolific group.
Great video! I'm still awaiting a Gobi Rack for my Jeep and was wondering if I would just be able to strap down the pelican cargo case with just regular straps (pakmule) without the frontrunner mounting brackets. Can the straps run up and under through the Pelican brackets on the case? Thanks!
Yes... you can definitely use straps and still be able to open it if you run them right.
17:58 loved the video! Keep up the hard work man
do you still need bed stiffeners for a bed rack if you have the decked system?
Decked system doesn't do anything to stiffen the rear... so... Yes. But also I don't think most people need bed stiffners unless they plan on Rock crawling or carrying a lot of weight on a bed rack.
