Storage containers

[bigair96]

Any recommendations for storage containers that fit really well in the back of our 5th gens? Water proof would be nice as I will likely toss them on top of my roof rack once its here if needed. Folding/collapsible is extra points for storing between trips.

Going to start camping and traveling more and want to be organized.

Thanks!

Granted, this is just for everyday, but I've started with a large Coleman cooler. I bungee it through the handles and D rings when on the open road. Great for grocery shopping and keeping things fresh on longer hauls.

Let us know when your Gobi shows up. Just ordered mine today!

I've been really happy with these 46 qt. containers from the Container Store for only $18 ea. They do have a foam gasket around the lid and I leave them outside when camping. They are big enough to perfectly fit a roll of paper towels standing on end. I would not travel with them on the roof regularly, but they would work in a pinch.

Four containers fit on the factory sliding tray near perfectly.

I use a Remington Weathertight Container. Granted I still use a cheap dry bag from Walmart when I travel with it up on top. Here is the link:

I can send pictures of inside and on my roof rack if you want them!

Thanks. Ordered mine in October and still havent heard anything. A few days ago someone posted that they ordered in August and still no word. Worth the wait though!

Thanks. Those fit really great! Looks really nice with your whole set up with the sliding tray and the shelf you built.

Wife would love any excuse to go to the container store, so may consider these.

What awning is that?

It's the Slumberjack Roadhouse Tarp: https://slumberjack.com/roadhouse-tarp/. It's okay, but takes a minute to setup, especially with one person. I do like it because I do all of my cooking out of the back when camping. The end that attaches to the vehicle can be removed and staked to the ground if you want to do some exploring.

Nice find! Hot damn, only $120 ships free and a lifetime warranty! That is my kind of deal. Sold out......of course, just my luck.

Wait: Checked Amazon only $99! Score!!!

Good find thanks bought one.I know a functional shaped tarp would be more useful than 200-300 dollar awning.

I use two of these, but keep them on the passenger side rear seat folded down. They fit perfectly in that area and only cost about $30 each. They also stack.

That's the first time I've seen a Tundra double spoke on a 5th gen, they look great

These are my solutions, as I was looking for cost effective and replaceable if lost/stolen.

Ridgid Tool Box
3 across can fit in each section of a Gobi rack and can easily stack in the back, they even lock together when stacked.

Large and cheap, although slightly thin plastic molding makes they a little bendable, but fit easy in the cargo area and on a roof rack.

From a recent group buy.... for outside the 4Runner Roam Adventure Box

Inside I use these Storage boxes They are available in several different sizes. Costco sells a similar, but cheaper version of this.

Pelican makes some excellent storage boxes, but they are pretty expensive......

Here you go! In the back and on top of the Gobi Stealth Rack!

Those look great - and $35 isn't too bad either. I'm going to get a couple of those.

Thanks for sharing!

Haha...My wife is also a container store addict. Maybe I let her loose to buy as much as she wants - it'd be a good excuse to upgrade my roof rack! :bounce:

I have a set of these in the back of the truck - they also fit nicely under the awning (if you have one) . You can also fit 3 of them length wise down a Prinsu roof rack and about 2 across no problem .

They survived a significant rain storm in the summer with no leaks and will be on the roof again headed up to the Kootenays in -18C in about 2 weeks.

i used 2 big plano boxes before i got my drawer system, and to be honest, I wish i didn't get the drawer system and kept to the plano boxes.

Plano boxes offered way more flexibility than a drawer system, weighs considerably less, and didn't rattle all day long.
