Storage Advice

Any of you guys build any storage solutions for the rear of your H3's that you're happy with and want to share? I'm a hunter, I also use my H3 as a daily driver, so I'm constantly taking the stuff in and out. Thereby, forgetting something when I get out on a hunt. I don't need a ton of space, but I'd like something that's durable and can take a beating (in case someone knows of a manufacturer).

Here's a list of things that would need to go in.

1. Butcher Kit
2. 3-4 sections of 20' paracord.
3. Scent killer (size of windex bottle)
4. Nitrile Gloves
5. Hats/Gloves (2 each)
6. Flashlights (2)
7. Miscellaneous attractants
8. Shells/broadheads

Just bunch of minor stuff.

I have seen alot of guys use one of the small bed boxes from an H3T. They are becoming a bit rare to find but if you have patience sooner or later one pops up on ebay.

I like this guy: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-22-in-Pro-Gear-Cart-Tool-Box-in-Black-222573/205441921. I have this strapped into the back of my H3 using the front and rear tie down hooks and this wrapping around the box to the hooks. https://www.homedepot.com/p/ProGrip...elease-500-lb-Break-Strength-140440/300653808. It carries off road gear like my compressor, recovery strap, a few spare parts, etc.

I can't speak to durability as it just moves between home and the H3 but I like the versatility. And I have one of these connected to the top for smaller items. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RIDGID-22-in-Pro-Organizer-Black-222571/205440492

The way I have it secured it's not easy to go in and out of it. You have to undo the strap and then there are latches on each end to open the top, and I have one end against the seatback. For my purposes it works well, but if you need frequent access it's not great.

The plastic ammo crates from MTM are really nice, and cheap too. I use a couple of the smaller ones and medium ones for storing my offroading gear:

Small ($15 currently)
https://www.amazon.com/MTM-ACR4-18-Ammo-Crate-Utility/dp/B01CNP4HMG/

Medium ($17 currently)
https://www.amazon.com/MTM-ACR5-72-Crate-Utility-Medium/dp/B00T4XL2MO/

They stack nicely onto each other and have a water tight seal. They make other sizes as well that would work nicely. You can fit two mediums side by side, and a medium and a small back to front.

I've got one of the medium MTM ammo crates as well as an old pelican case under a plywood shelf in the back. Other random things and small tote for the "extras". The only thing I don't like about the ammo crates are the large handles, they take up a lot of extra space. I'm planning on building a drawer system someday to maximize the space. I also removed the trim from the rear door and pack some of my essentials in there as well.

Ditto what alorock has but I have the DeWalt version of the latching boxes. Currently $35 on Amazon. I also have the shallow boxes that latch on top for quick access to smaller items.[h=1]DEWALT DWST08204[/h]
