Tool storage in a wheeling rig

[Ktmracer419]

hokay, So at first i had a plastic crapsman toolbox that i just threw all my tools in and ratchet strapped it down tight. it was alright while wheeling, but it was a pain finding the right tool, as all the smaller tools i always seemed to need found their way to the bottom. that and each tool was eventually equally covered in grease and mud and whatnot.

I then upgraded to a 3 drawer metal crapsman box, solidly strapped down in back of the jeep. It was fine for a little bit, but gets beat up while wheeling. the drawer locking mechanism is broken so i have to ratchet strap it shut, and now that i have to strap it shutit bent the bottom lip so i have to pry it back each time i need something in the bottom drawer. and sometimes tools fall down behind the drawers and i gotta fish em out.


Looking for something i can perhaps bolt down in back of my jeep with the drawers facing out for easy acess. maybe hard plastic or i will start off with a fresh metal crapsman and armor the edges.


I have never seen someone complain about tool storage in a wheeling rig, so some people must have some good setups. Let me hear/see em'.

I use tool wraps to keep shit organized when I carry an open box... But lately I have been using a basic box for the misc shit and a tool kit for wrenches and socket set

tool box bolted down not strapped with foam inserts for each tool+box set of rachets, and a couple of rags to wipe tools down when your finished

the matco road chest is very nice but a tad big, it has a cage around it with rubber bushings on it to keep it from being bounced around too much. other wise look into this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-R...c#ht_500wt_975

looks like the suitcases in movies that criminals store some type of deadly nuclear chemical in...
i need ideas too, all i got is a tool bag that no matter how many times i organize it, shit gets fawked up again

Something like this would be cool, but its expensive and I've never seen it in real life so I can't vouch for the quality or functionality.

get something like this with a lock on it, take the bottom drawers out put backing plates in and 4 bolts right into the floor, put some sort of hard foam in and cut out spots for tools

yes seeing as that box is 40 inches wide and 22 inches deep

I used Military storage boxes. Hit up an army surplus store.

Is making your own storage compartment out of wood out of the question?

You saw my old one. It became a hassle so its gone now and i have all the tools i should need and no extra crap in a box behind my seat ratcheted down. works well.

Dude, wtf are you talking about. I'm planning on putting 2 of these back to back in the bed of the yota for storage:
