After wedging the storage box under the seat floor mounts the seat back might rub on the rear cab wall being in a slightly reclined position, If it does you can add shims to the rear seat floor mounts to balance out.

[@donrowe1127]

I would also be interested in knowing if the lids rattle against the box when closed and traveling on a bumpy road. It looks like they are metal on metal, and my suspicion is they will rattle.

[@gmbmesa]

@donrowe1127 would some door seals work? Like, run that around the edges like an old ammo can?

[@vmac805zero7]

if you need more lockable storage then I guess its worth it hopefully they make another one with the driver side one big compartment and the passenger side the smaller one instead three small compartments

[@tmccull98]

Great Job, and seeing you struggle helps the common man, I appreciate that, so why not add some sound proof insulation for cars below the box to help with the noise?

[@1EyeInTheSky]

I think as you pack it full of stuff it will kind of provide some sound dampening. I know if I could use this in mine it would be full for sure.

Great vid; I'm going to install mine soon, partly because of your video. What if you put the cut out carpet squares in the bottom to help dampen the noise? Note: I'm not finished watching the complete video yet. EDIT: well that makes sense. I guess they're either on the frame or in the box: same difference.

When is that video coming? I don't wanna jump the gun without seeing what other great option you might have in mind? By the way, I really appreciate your videos. Will be doing the wireless charger you did and the driver side handle to get in also.

Manuel Menjivar Awesome congratulations on the new truck. I finally got in what I had been waiting on. You can go ahead and order the box it’s nothing to major just a way I’m going to organize the inside of mine. I just posted a video today of something I noticed about my box you may want to check out todays video before you order one. I still wouldn’t let it stop me from getting one but you may still want to take a quick look.

[@highpro1394]

Nice. What made you pick this one over the other one that has the big lid with more space?

[@gearrunner]

Andrew Stoffa The big kid one was $200 more. I would have rather had it

[@highpro1394]

Yeah i watched the video ESP put out on the big one. Looks like more work to install but i think its worth the extra storage. Question... i came across a video from someone claiming they were hearing a rubbing noise from their seats making contact with the back of the cab. In the video they say its because the front feet of the seats are elevated slightly when you wedge the storage unit between those feet where it bolts to it. Are you hearing any rubbing noise from this?

[@gearrunner]

Andrew Stoffa I haven’t noticed but I will do a video on noise when it stops raining and you will be able to hear better

[@anonymousanonymous7311]

Great video!!!! Was there any wires underneath the foam? Thanks

[@gearrunner]

Not that I can remember, but different trim levels may be different so I would still cut with caution

[@clorx]

Nice video. Would the square cut out pieces have been better as cushions placed underneath the storage unit so that it's not a metal-to-metal contact at the bottom? If the storage unit is not deep enough so that it's not resting on the metal floor, then disregard my question.

[@saabgripen330]

I plan on purchasing a Tundra Crew Max as soon as I get a deal from these stingy dealers. This will be the first mod Mod I do , my question is why did you get this storage instead of the ESP long box ?

[@ssam98]

You can store a hand gun, wallet, and maybe some minor tools

[@radubataran4835]

Yes yes of course, cause when your in a bind thats the best place to store a wallet and hand gun🤨....i was mainly pointing out that i dont see why it cant be one long solid box instead of three separate compartments?

Yeah a big box to fit three rifles, is the best idea like the big three have. When it comes to trucks the big three know what Americans want, Toyota needs to understand the American culture

[@MrMiller2980]

Hi Mr Gear Runner, this is Wes again I think I asked this before but wasn't sure . Your thoughts on a mod, I know you change the grill on the front. I was wondering if you ever looked at the Sport Hood with a scoop there's one that has the vents on the side of the scoop that looks like a sport Dodge Ram Hood I think it looks badass. Of course it is pricey my question was have you ever thought about changing the hood. Oh and why am I here the other question was about the TRD sway bar in the rear I've heard positive and negative I haven't came across if you ever tried that on a video or not I know the TRD Pro they recommend not to do it I have the 2014 Limited Crewmax off road TRD with a 3" to 2" leveling kit. Didn't want to do it because I was worried it would make a stiffer ride that wasn't sure. But all in all I enjoy your videos I like to listen to your opinions and I love the Toyota Tundra for my first full size truck. Of course it gets thirsty lol.

[@gearrunner]
