I currently keep my tools and parts in the bed of my truck in these husky totes:
Prior to that I kept them in this kind of tote:
I went away from the black/yellow totes because they are not air/water tight. They suffer humidity problems and water leaks. So I got the red totes with a rubber gasket seal and things are much better now in that regard. But I am looking for another improvement because these totes do not slide past each other well.
My bed is full of totes from front to back:
Because the bed rails are nearly 5ft high and some of the totes weigh over 50lbs, I find it easier to slide them out from the back using a pole/hook. The totes get hung up on each other as I try to slide them past one another other because the handles and latches protrude from the sides.
This seems to be a common theme among all of the rugged/weatherproof totes (Pelican, et.-everyone-al.) I guess they think the bulky "MILSPEC"-looking hardware is what advertises it as heavy duty.
I would like to find some heavy duty totes (ones you can stand on preferably) with smooth exterior and waterproof. So far I have found nothing. If anyone has a recommendation I would appreciate it. Otherwise I might resort to keeping my stuff in Igloo coolers.
