    No money, all went to truck...
    Currently I have a milk crate in the back of my truck to store rope, bungees, clips and stuff. I also have a bakflip bed cover. I'm getting tired of a jumble of crap in the milk crate.

    I'm looking for a tool/storage box about the same size of the milk crate, maybe a little bigger to hold all my crap in. Preferably water tight but not important. I would want it to have compartments and stuff to orgainze all my crap.

    Any ideas? I searched and didn't find anything that fits my needs. Maybe something like this?

    the milk crate is good cause it was free but then its a pain in the ass to get crap out of the bottom. Everything gets wet when cover is up. Time to spend a little bit of money.

    Pelican case would be waterproof but $ , most tool boxes like the one you posted in the OP will let water in if they live outside all the time

    Since my spare is on a swing out and I have all the space where the stock spare was I'm thinking about cutting through the bed and putting something like a 30x20x12 locking compartment in there.
    Something to consider for people with swing outs.
