Hello,
I am looking at improving the storage in the bed of my Tundra (I currently have nothing) and I need some inspiration. If everything went my way, I would get a set of the OEM side boxes off the Trail Edition Tundras and use them. The problem is they are hard to find used (they are around 800.00 each from a dealer) and because of the way they are shaped they waste a lot of space. I am thinking of building something like what’s in the pic below (stolen from a Tundra forum) except mine would be out of marine grade plywood and have a lid. They must sit under a tonneau cover and leave 4' of bed width free. They will be glued and screwed together, sprayed with bedliner, and have aluminum L channel on the edges to protect them from damage. I don’t need a bed slide or anything else, just the storage on the side for tools and such. Since the Crew Max Tundra lacks storage under/behind the rear seat, everything goes in the bed.
Thanks in advance for any advice or suggestions and I would love to see pictures.
