  • Don’t clutter your pickup bed with a huge toolbox. Hide all your tools inside the cab under your rear seat. You don’t use that space anyway so take advantage of it!

    What an ingenious invention. We took an 80 day road trip and it was such a pain to take everything off the seat to get to the storage under the seat? Thank you Sssooo much for sharing

  • @corwinchristensen260

    One important item that really should be considered is to secure the toolbox (really any heavy item) so it doesn't become a potential source of injury in an accident or quick maneuver. An emergency stop has the potential for this loaded toolbox to slide into the feet of the rear passengers.

    • @kobayashimaru8114
      @kobayashimaru8114 Год назад +1

      Good point. It can be secured to the seat mounts with a cable or chain. I went the simple route of just making a 3 sided wall to keep things tucked under the seats and simply bungee corded the contraption to the seat mounts.

    One thing you could add is tiny feet (strips) on the bottom that fit into the slots in the floor mat to prevent a forward slide.

    At 17:37, a tip for the hole saw to avoid the peeling of the laminate (seen on the inside). Start drilling your hole and only get it started 1/4 to 1/2 way through. Then, drill from the other side. It makes for a much cleaner edge on the hole. Nice idea for the slider box. Thanks for posting.

      Could easily be designed to have one on each side that pulls out with a shoulder holster & pistol and an AR with spare mags.....
      In these times of riots, this would be a great money maker..... I hate Ford, but I might be tempted to buy a new truck if I could get that double drawer system....

    • @WiringSolutionsOKC
      @WiringSolutionsOKC 4 года назад +1

      Rick Sanchez C137 - agreed. I found a lot of room behind my rear seat which is great for a black rifle and Amazon sells a magazine well lock with aircraft cable tether, so I feel fairly secure, but these drawers would be better and quicker to deploy.

    Great idea and good explanation on the build. One more thing to consider adding might be some straps to help secure the box in the event of a crash. I think one or two straps attached on the backside would do the trick and might also slow down someone trying to steal a locked version of the box. The latch idea was sweet!

    I used really sturdy plastic planter boxes that were just the right length. I added a simple backer piece to the seat rails and then some disconnects to the planter boxes. It is just as durable as those $100 plastic boxes. I often lift my seats and need to remove the boxes due to an older dog. These are really nice and a great video for 4 door trucks. I have the Ex cab.

    Makes me appreciate my Ram that already has under seat storage plus 2 storage bins in the floor under the mat from the factory. I have tons of recovery gear and tools in there. Nice work though. Where there's a will, there's a way. I'm sure by now you know how valuable that space is. My only other suggestion would be to come up with a way to put longer objects in there (over 2 ft). Perhaps 2 different size drawers, or leave the rear of the drawer and partition shorter and level to allow a a triangular gap where something longer could be placed in there sticking over into the next compartment. I stow a crow bar, breaker bar and a monster adjustable wrench under there (all stuff to work on suspension if needed).

    @MrPiEater 2 года назад +1

    I'm thinking about building something similar, but in my case the drivers side would be a charging station for my drill batteries, jump-starter battery, and a little carry around battery pack that I use to run my laptop for a day or two without "shore power". I like to use light colors inside the drawers so the contents are easier to see in dim conditions. I'll keep heat and ventilation in mind, and route a 12V accessory cable directly into the system. I'm also thinking I'd like a simple system to be sure it stays in place until I want it to move, like a couple of loops and a carabiner for each side. Thanks for a good head start.
