A simple solution! I like that you went to the SIDE instead of the cab end of the bed. I never thought to approach it that way. I'm dealing with a lil' Tacoma in which space is a premium. Even with the stock hard cover, I get rain, so that's been a storage-tote-only approach for me- BUT, if you build a "foamie" type top (EPS Foam Board, Canvas adhered, exterior latex paint,) to your tray, rain could literally hit it and the contents inside would be protected. I like your pins- I'd suggest spare Allen keys (we've all got some around,) maybe even a size or two that are needed for your truck. Hand made is fine of course- but I like that you took the time to chamfer and paint yours! Nice work Steve!!!
How's she goin'? This is a great idea Steve. I find, especially with the 1/2 ton trucks these days, that getting access to the box is difficult. So having this rack that raises things up off the bed floor and within easy reach from the side of the truck makes this a 'winner' in my books!! Take 'er easy!!
Excellent use of that almost-unused-space. I'm making one for my vehicle recovery items that will be cabled tied down for security. Thanks for the idea.
@andyprairiedog Andy I've owned a lot of pickups and the wasted space has now emptied out my back seat. It's possible to extend the length even longer than I did to suit ones needs. Cheers 👍
ruclips.net/video/Nre7PmY0CBM/видео.htmlfeature=shared I usually go with a rubber mat in the bed but when I seen these I thought I'd try it. Fantastic 👍
Hey, that looked awesome. So, my question is howdo you secure this tool bag and whatever dat other thingy....from just flying around ? I have been very well beer up so be kind if my stupidy shows. Hehee. Have a great Sunday, Buddy .
Hey, just wanted to let you know on your thumbnail or your main picture for your video. It says east instead of easy just thought I’d give you heads up. I’m not sure if you knew or not. Anyway, love the video. Great job. Awesome work can’t wait for more content keep it up thanks again.
I have a question ... wildly not related to this vlog. I have to replace my fuel pump and I don't have a garage where I can drop the fuel tank. I could remove my truck bed and slide it back and get access. The question. In what you've done have you had to get fasteners exposed from under that bed liner? I've not found any way to expose my truck bed mounting bolts from the bed liner that was sprayed on.
@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Not sure about your ranger but I always loosened the box bolts and electrical connections at the bumper on one side and remove the ones on the pump side and lift up the box gives you access to the fuel tank pump.
@@SteveRobReviews Yeah I could see that being a way as well. HOwever, whomever sprayed the bedliner in covered the bolts and I'm at a aloss how remove the bedliner on the bolts to get a wrench on them.
@@SteveRobReviews Was kind of hoping that you'd found a solvent that would do the job ... or if you had to resort to using a grinder and scraper or what not to bare the bolt heads.
Really handy solution. This is something I may do on my truck. So often I can't get to something because it has slid all the way out of reach. This would fix that. Also, this would be a lovely bed for your raccoon friends during the winter.🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝

Love this idea Steve! Making use of space in the box that isn’t utilized is a great idea 🍻
Absolutely! Doug this is definitely something you could make and use for your truck.
Hi Steve that is a great DIY project for sure. I’m sure you will get a lot of use out of it.
@@jimthecarguy Hi Jim
Thanks buddy it's working out terrific 👍
Great idea Steve. Having things stay in place is a good idea. Didn’t cost much but it doesn’t knead too, as long as it works…..CHEERS
Very true! Thanks Gator
I like it! Nice and simple, even I could make one or two for my '94 Chevy van and clear up some floor space. Thanks!
Thanks , your van could accommodate a much longer shelf , even better 👌

You will be at 20 Mil soon! Nicely done DIY Steve! I need to send you one of my new logo black shirts!
Thanks Papa , this youtube is getting harder all the time, not easier .

Thanks Mike , an easy diy project for those with trucks.
Hey Steve. The tack idea is good to know. I like this storage project. Nice job on the latch mechanism too.
Thanks Kenny 👍 you could definitely make these for your F250
@@SteveRobReviews I could use them, keep the gear outta the back seat
Great solution for a common problem Steve. That’s going to be great 😊 👍
@RustyGlovebox Thanks Lloyd , yes its been real handy so far.
That sure looks great and functional too!!
@wendingourway It's worked out great so far , thanks.
Nice job Steve. Looks like it works really good.
Hi Billy
It's much better than before .
Really cool idea thanks for sharing
@@Bdbrad71 Thanks, much appreciated.
Sweet DIY Steve. Cheers.
Thanks Ron , you could easily make these for your truck.
Hi Steve - really nice design and those pins that end up flush are a smart design as well - thanks and cheers
Thanks Ed 👍

@bobhanes5092 Thanks Bob , much appreciated.
What's this? Trucks with carpet in the bed? That can't possibly do any work! That's luxury.

I dig it. I made a separator out of some scrap 2x4s for mine.
If it works for you , that's great.
Neat idea
Thanks Moe 👍
Good idea and space below to store a regular floor jack in my case.
@@phordguy Thanks for taking a look.
Excellent, and I will be building one soon
@@larryholland1466 Awesome 👍
Great idea, impact is so much faster and great for small odds and ends
Absolutely! Jason .
Good idea. I almost bought an aluminum service truck canopy for my F150 but it sold just before I got there.
Bruce you can easily do this to your f150. Its handy for sure.
Hi Steve, just goes to show a little imagination can fix things! 👍
Yes exactly Marc . Thanks 👍
Great idea, I think I wudda gone a bit longer
@stvargas69 Yes that's a choice to make for everyone's needs.
Nice job. Thx for sharing.
Thanks for watching!

Hi Paivi
It does not fall out of the rack unless your going hard core off roading then you better use some bunjie cords HAHAHA
Nice!
Thanks 👍
Well done Steve Rob !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks buddy 👌

Black metal toolbox; PA by any chance? I bought two of them. Cheers.
Yes exactly. I bought 8 of them HAHAHA
Hello friend good evening my friend 👍👍👍❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

@@SteveRobReviews 👍👍👍
Very Cool! 😎
Thanks! Rex
Cool idea but I don’t have those anchors or any anchors on my truck
I had to install these myself , check if your truck can take box anchors.
Nice, but you must live in a very safe area. Metal toolboxes can be locked. With your tool holder anyone can steal your stuff.
Absolutely correct I live in a safe area , never lock our doors or ever had anything stolen.
The tonneau cover when properly buttoned down, offers significant deterrent to thieves.
@hacksaw149 Yes absolutely, out of sight out of mind. 👍
How do you get the pins out without tools?
@jamesricci881 They come out ok , a pair of pliers helps.
Good idea
Thanks Terry
👍👍👍🤘❤❤

Oh btw .... I like your build. I don't have hooks like those on my Ranger bed though.
@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Not sure about your ranger but I always loosened the box bolts and electrical connections at the bumper on one side and remove the ones on the pump side and lift up the box gives you access to the fuel tank pump.
@@SteveRobReviews
Yeah I could see that being a way as well. HOwever, whomever sprayed the bedliner in covered the bolts and I'm at a aloss how remove the bedliner on the bolts to get a wrench on them.
@@SteveRobReviews
Was kind of hoping that you'd found a solvent that would do the job ... or if you had to resort to using a grinder and scraper or what not to bare the bolt heads.
@johnjacobjinglehimerschmid3555 Try spraying the boxbolt threads first then use an impact wrench , they may just come off easily.
Really handy solution. This is something I may do on my truck. So often I can't get to something because it has slid all the way out of reach. This would fix that. Also, this would be a lovely bed for your raccoon friends during the winter.🦝🦝🦝🦝🦝
@EverydayProjects HAHAHA yes it would. I think you can make these easily Craig 👍
