    Hi Everyone,
    Wondering if/how you all are using Milwaukee Packouts in your rig and what for. I just picked up one for the truck tools and saw a ton of possibilities. Pics would be great, as well as any kinds of pros and cons you see. Thanks in advance.

    Yeah I’ve got a simple Packout setup, I had removed my seats for a while and had built a folding deck in the back. Got a job building pole barns, so I added Packout mounts and boxes to keep my tools secure and my bed open for carrying bigger tools/material.

    Dumped the Tacoma, that's all it needed.
    I am waiting on some material to show up and then will be staring on my packout additions.

    I have to keep the passenger/center rear seat, so I’ll be using the drivers side rear and some space in the bed.

    once I start on the project, I’ll post pictures here or in another thread and link it.

    Sweet set up there. If I didn't need the back seat for my progeny, then I would definitely do something like this.

    It allowed me to put everything that I had in two seperate boxes into one...but it is one heavy SOB. I keep it up against the cab and it is a pain to back up to the tailgate (OEM tonneau) to pull out simple things like the AC inflator for the mountain bikes. If I could fit two side by side where they rolled straight out of the bed I would completely rethink things.

    I have several other Packout boxes but never found a good solution for the bed.

    Pricey plastic things in the garage that I use for inconvenient (the one I need is never on top) storage.

    Thanks for all of this everyone. I think I'm going to figure out some bed attachments. Since I'm not deleting the rear seats, I may consider a roof rack and mount them up there when I go camping...um...I mean overlanding.

    I choose the back wall mount so I could keep my seats. They still fold up and I can fit 2 deep packouts or four thin packouts. I was tired of mine sliding on the seat backs.
