Rear seat underneath storage:(

The storage underneath the rear seats is terrible. The only solution I can find is a full rear seat delete but I like having rear seats as an option. Is there a way to delete the storage underneath the rear seats completely or better storage options. Any ideas? Looking to store a rifle out of plain view because of smash and grabs.

 

in before everyone debates whether or not you should keep a rifle in the truck, and probably not address the storage question

 

That being said, my best suggestion is check into the options people have done behind the folding seat backs. I've seen a couple of cool ideas for that area. Basically remove the plastic bins, fab some sort of mounts, and mount back there.

I think the storage capacity underneath and behind the rear seats is actually quite good for basic stuff. I keep all my bug out bags and other emergency supplies behind and under the seats and I have quite a bit of stuff there. Your challenge is unique in that that you are wanting to store a long gun under there which I get. Not sure what the answer is for your gun storage need, but saying that the back seat storage is terrible is a bit off IMO.

 

Yes the plastic bins under the rear seats can be removed. Not that hard.

It’s plastic and pops out. Could be a frame piece you may need to adapt. Or hump. I only have tools and audio equipment but I recall pulling it apart to run wires.

Did someone make a seat modification to store firearms in the rear seats? Anyone still have the links?

 

Time for that pistol build AR!

 

So let me try to understand. You're looking for a place to store a weapon unattended in your vehicle. And you're hoping that someone won't get in there and take it? Is that a correct assumption?

Technically not in the cab, but great secure alternative. Just bring your checkbook.......

I get where you're going with this. I would never store one of my weapons in my truck unattended. Ever. I keep them on my person at all times.

 

I don't know how you manage that. I have a CCW and there are plenty of places you aren't allowed to bring your weapon in (Federal buildings, courts, etc)

Besides worst case scenario someone breaks in and steals your gun. A police report and $600 later you are up and running again. A Pistol inside is probably the least expensive accessory in my truck.

 

I manage that because I keep my weapons at home 98% of the time. I only carry them with me when I'm going hunting, to the range or to a place that I know allows concealed or open carry. I live in Texas, and we can carry our weapons just about anywhere.

The point I was trying to make was: I never leave my weapon in an unattended vehicle unless absolutely necessary.

 

That makes sense. I like your style of making your points with bold letters

 

You're a Marine you know better. Even POGS have common sense.

Unless Your weapon was stolen out of your vehicle and was used in a crime. In which the registered owner, which would be you, could be easily hemmed up for being an irresponsible owner of said weapon.
