Yeah I just bought a duha rear underseat storage deal. It'll hold most of my crap but I'll lose my craftsman toolset. It's got all the sockets, wrenched and pliers set stuff. It's probably a 16" cube size, I really don't want to lose that. With the duha I could take out one side of the separator, organizer thing and get a new tool kit with less stuff and lower profile and just keep my current set for when I go to the deer lease. I just hate to lose most of my tools.

Yeah someone modified it for me

For now Im going to get a buddy to modify my current toolbox to fit in my bed. Figure Ill try it out for a while and if I dont like it Im sure I can find someone who wants a box like this and I can buy the cover. The biggest deciding factor for me trying this route first is I dont want to lose my big craftsman toolset and dont want to spend the money on another toolset. Plus itll let me use my new duha organizer under the rear seat for my shotgun and eventually an AR.

Cody,

What about organizing your tools into Klein bags to keep under your seat? It would get rid of that bulky tool box. Just a thought.

Thats a good idea, I just like how organized the box is since its vacuum molded to each piece. I go back and forth every day on what I want to do. The wife reminded me that when we have another kid and plan on getting a german shephard there isnt going to be any room in the cab for our crap and really need a place to lock it all up. A buddy has very nicely offered to weld up my current toolbox to make it work in my midget bed next weekend. So Ill be deciding something soon.
