Truck Bed

[kflips]

Ordered a truck vault and had to delay install until after I got my truck back from Brodie with the drive train upgrades. The truck vault is a really nice set up ($$ but looks great, thanks Timco). Working on installation of the other stuff I have in my truck bed, some issues with height given the space the vault takes up but it will all work out pretty well.

Will post up some pics sometime early or late this weekend.:thumbs:

Looks very neat, but no pictures with the vaults open? Must be hiding something!

Here is a picture with one of the drawers pulled out

Looks good! The truck vault was intended for gun storage. Do you use yours for that?

I considered the truck vault, but in the end I decided the cargo slide fit my cargo better. Buckets of rocks, shovels and a tool box of hammers and chisels fit better on the cargo slide. Someday I might try and adapt a small gun case to the cargo slide so I have a secure place to haul guns. … Maybe I'll get some guns first?

That's a nice setup. It should work well for you.

Looks great Kevin. Glad you posted the pics up. How was the installation on it? Everything go in easy? I had these in my H2 SUV's and loved them. I am looking to have one built for the JK next. Nice to keep items out of the way and locked up!!

The vault fit like a glove -- I ordered the 6" depth drawers vs. 10" because of the total height and side rails and that was the right decision. I can now secure the other components on top of the vault and against the rail and it provide a stable platform. The only (I mean only) draw back is the cooler needs to go further into the truck bed given the slope of the slant back.
