    I changed both my bed boxes to Tuffy lock boxes. 16 gauge steel, seam welded, powdercoated, waterproof. Very nice stuff. Driver- rubber boots, dry graphite, WD40, brakleen. Passenger- coveralls, shop towels, big tub of gojo hand cleaner, work gloves

    Medical supplies. Box of gloves and basic rescue equipment. Can't tell you how many wrecks I've driven up on and it's nice to have some stuff until help arrives.

    Tools on the other side in case I need to work on the truck.


    In my bed box I have a 15' power cord that I use with a ceramic heater in the winter time at the station when it is cold outside. It's nice to jump in the truck and not have to defrost the windows and have it already warmed up inside. I set the heater on a custom made mount on the center console and turn it on low and it works perfect. Ratchet straps also in case I need to keep something secure in the bed.

    Recovery straps, hitch, jumper cables, tie downs, first aid kit, and (until yesterday) a fire extinguisher.

    Came upon a Titan on fire yesterday and put it out with my extinguisher. Moving truck had dumped a ton of packing paper on the highway and the Titan drove over it. Some of the paper lodged under his truck and caught on fire. Lucky for him, another driver and I stopped and put it out before he lost his truck. Minimal damage to the undercarriage. Melted some of his undercoating and the rubber step on his running board.

    I'm very interested in the Tuffy lock boxes. Are they specific for the Taco or is a mod required?

    Behind seat compartments:
    Fire extinguisher, Gerber hatchet, hat, 2 water bottles, bungee cords, ratchet straps, assorted rope, and tow hitch.

    Under Seat: badges I took off the truck, bed net, extra first aid items, more rope.

    I don't have anything in the bed compartments. Still paranoid the day I put something in there it will get stolen. Too many shenanigans going on in the college parking deck.
