I’ve had mine installed in a chevy van for just about 3 years now and here are my honest thoughts on it for those who are considering buying this system. Just going to say the Cons I’ve noticed. 1.)You lose about 2-3 feet of storage at the back of the decked drawers that becomes almost inaccessible unless you take the tools in front of them out because the drawers don’t come ALL the way out. 2.) If you are on any sort of hill you will be either fighting to keep the drawers open or fighting to keep them closed. 3.)Shape/design of drawers is an odd shape. Making organizing tools a bit more tricky. I spent a lot of time figuring the best way to organize tools in these drawers so they can be easily accessed. 4.)Slick material. Tools that aren’t secured or stopped by a divider slide around everywhere including back into that hard to reach abyss of the drawers 5.) Drawers get Stuck closed if something (in my case a speed square) gets wedged into the top of the drawer system. I had to yank and push the thing before it was finally free. This has happened several times and is usually because workers throw things into the drawer system carelessly. Still an issue that may arise. 6.) Stuff has fallen behind the rear roller wheels and caused the drawers to not close all the way. So be careful not to store small things on top that may fall down into there. Otherwise you will be taking the drawers back out. And that’s about it. Will say there are better systems out there like the pack rat drawers we’ve had in our other van for 10+ years but they don’t look as good as these. And I’ve got things how I like them now.

someone who follows the instructions. Refreshing.

[@Wildernessways]

Great video, I especially appreciate mentioning the firs responder discount, I was totally unaware of that!

[@LivinWith3M]

Awesome review and install ! Love it man. 👍🏻

[@victordeleon9418]

Very nice video thanks 🙏🏻

[@davidh1314]

The new, GEN2 drawer system now has waterproof ammo cans! 10% military discount also

[@drainmonkeys385]

The company I bought mine from offered to install for $168. No brainer. They were done in 2 hours and took a lunch break during.. so.. they have installed many. So it was worth the extra to not have to work all day getting pissed off over stupid shot

[@drainmonkeys385]

Mine is packed and loaded on top…. It’s a quality unit

[@WillemLuntungan]

Good job ❤

[@serg4220]

Maybe you can find some 3d printed dividers .

[@gearslapper93]

just ordered mine, but the banging the pin in with the ratchet hit home for me. That's 100% how Ill be putting it together lol

[@ProjectComplete]

I was too lazy to get a hammer!

[@corydriver7634]

Everything is a hammer, right?

[@scubatrucker6806]

You could put a rubberized bed liner on top if you don't want anything to slide

[@ProjectComplete]

Thanks for the idea, I’ll check into it!

[@bigcwastaken2112]

@@ProjectComplete I think they have there own

[@jordonv8885]

@@bigcwastaken2112 Yes, that is true. Although, I think they just released it for sale. Either way I’ve never been a big fan of mats.

[@drainmonkeys385]

I’ve got one in my ford transit 250 midroof.. I’m very happ with it…. For a moment I had buyers remorse. But that only lasted 30 minutes… I lined the walls with 3/4” birch plywood.. setup Packout mounting plates and it’s the bomb. I love it.. is it worth the money?? For me it was.. for you.. only you can say

[@deniseschnose337]

What went through your mind in those 30 minutes? Do you have a cargo or passenger van? I'm thinking of one for my passenger van. You said you lined with plywood. Do you think I would have to remove my side paneling? Thanks

[@clrkglnn]

I would like to see a picture of your setup if possible

[@milesmayhem5440]

Would this work for truck camping? Could you put a bed on top of it and sleep on it? Would it be strong enough for that?

[@ProjectComplete]

Yes there are a lot of people that use them for overlanding, camping and hunting. I think the weight rating is a couple thousand pound. Not 100 percent sure though, you’d have to check the specs. Click the link in the description. Should have a weight rating in there.

[@billyfoster6449]

2000 lbs

[@bloajmj2680]

hows the weatherstripping for keeping the dust out holding up?

[@ProjectComplete]

So far it hasn’t cracked or stopped working. Its not really designed to be a tight seal like an o ring. It slips under the upper lip of the top deck, so it’s more designed as a funnel. I haven’t had any water issues with weather, but if you were to spray it with a hose from the drawer side you would probably get a little water in it.

[@bloajmj2680]

@@ProjectComplete gotchya, too bad for the money should be sealed 100% . Must made for contractors. Thanks for the info :)

[@travisdoe4663]

The weather stripping is made of super thick rubber, I doubt it would ever wear out. It's more like a deflector to keep water that's running off the top of the deck from running into the end of the drawers.

[@mosestorres6553]

Seems like the Decked company could have sent it with more assembled parts instead of you having to work longer trying to figure it out.

[@ProjectComplete]

True, would be very nice if it was fully assembled although, I understand why they don’t!

[@arealmaintenanceandrepairl1103]

Do not drop. Battery from the bed wall it will crack it happens to me wonder how I can patch it

[@fishingismydrug1]

Fiberglass it? Verify with manufacturer

[@Clamjammer]

Reach out to them and ask for a new part

[@nlnorth]

Is this compatible with a fifth wheel hitch?

[@ProjectComplete]

To my knowledge, no. Not with bed mounted fifth wheel hitch’s.

[@Bigsmegma44]

No. But check their website. They have a video where they show dismantling it rather quickly. I’m waiting for mine to arrive now!

[@Dmann87]

Not supposed to use power tools it even says on the box.

[@rlh686]

Your dog shouldn’t ride in the bed of the truck anyway

[@Archie78665]

Dogs belong inside the cab.

[@briancc2100]

Why would you waist that kind of money on a ford? I guess the plastic would be stronger than ford aluminum
