Carry Smarter: Off-Road Truck and Jeep Storage Solutions

Increase Your Rig’s Ability To Carry More Stuff

By Sean P. Holman

Retractable Lid
The all-new RetraxPRO is the pinnacle of retractable pickup bed cover technology. This unique cover is constructed of heavy-duty aluminum slats, which are connected by flexible hinges to create a robust and weather-tight seal. For durability, the cover is finished in a gloss black powdercoat. The RetraxPRO bed cover utilizes a unique, patented design, which allows it to retract on sealed ball bearing rollers into a compact spiral canister located at the front of the pickup bed. This low-profile design incorporates a front cover that is flush with the rolling cover, which streamlines the overall appearance and provides a firm, dependable seal to help keep the pickup bed dry. The cover is key-lockable in any position along the rail, and features a dual latch locking system underneath the rolling cover. The RetraxPRO is backed by a limited lifetime warranty, and can be installed easily and without drilling in about an hour.

Trail Swag
Swag Off Road’s Baja Bins are designed to fit the 8- or 24-gallon Rubbermaid ActionPackers like a glove. Constructed out of 1⁄8-inch-thick aluminum, and engineered to withstand the abuse of off-road racing, Baja Bins weigh in at only six pounds each. Available in two different lockable configurations, the Baja Bin will keep your tools safe and secure.

Lock Box
The Warrior Products Lockable Storage Trunk replaces the factory storage compartment in the rear tub of the Wrangler JK with a larger, stronger, and more secure trunk. Constructed of 16-guage HRPO steel and powdercoated for durability, the trunk comes in a textured finish. Installation of the kit requires an exhaust relocation kit to provide ample clearance of the trunk to the vehicle’s exhaust system.

Custom Slides
Each So-Cal Teardrops’ drawer system is custom-built to fit your vehicle and make use of the maximum amount of space available. A combination of 0.090-inch 5052 aluminum and ¾-inch Fiberthane coated in Line-X creates an extremely durable and robust, yet lightweight, drawer system. Utilizing 500-pound-capacity Accuride Lock-in/Lock-out slides, the drawers positively latch in both the open and closed position, keeping the drawers from “auto” closing when parked on an incline. Six-inch on-center spacing of all fasteners allows for easy attachment of tie-down tracks on the top of the drawer case or on the inside of the drawer bottom. Standard modular spacing also allows drawers to be “stacked” in various configurations. So-Cal Teardrops has also developed a clever way to mount the drawers to your vehicle, using a channel with sliding nuts. The drawers can then be precisely leveled and securely mounted without the need to stack washers or use weak and easily stripped jack nuts.

Hitch Hauler
The XD Utility Rack Attachment is great for pickups, SUVs, and ATVs equipped with an Inventive Products XD hitch. The Utility Rack Attachment can be used as a cooler rack, a workbench, a seat, or more. The rack easily folds parallel to the tailgate for storage, can be moved up and down on the XD Hitch for height adjustment, and has a large 40-inch x 20.5-inch aluminum tray with a 500-pound load capacity.

Strap Envy
TitanStraps are equally adept at securing loads in Arizona’s blistering summer heat or the typical sub-zero temperatures found in the far reaches of Alaska in January. Remaining supple in extreme temperatures and climates, TitanStraps are made from a stretchy, high-performance polymer that’s been injected with a 10-year UV additive for extra longevity. A polished, heat-treated aircraft aluminum buckle is over-molded in the manufacturing process for bombproof strength and the high-visibility strap doesn’t use hooks, making them safer than typical bungee cords. TitanStraps offer excellent adjustability and can be daisy-chained together for extra length. Simple in design, high in function, you’ll find hundred’s of uses for TitanStraps. Made in USA.

Tuff Box
Looking for more secure storage inside your Ford F-150? If so, Tuffy has the answer in a high-security 16-gauge steel security lockbox that mounts under the rear seat in any late-model Ford F-150 or Raptor, with or without the subwoofer. The form-fitting design of the Tuffy lockbox has over 4000 cubic inches of lockable storage and secured contents can be easily accessed by flipping the rear seats up and opening the corresponding lid. Three different part numbers are designed to work with your SuperCab or SuperCrew and the unique design allows the full width to be used to stow firearms or other long items.
