Setting up the back of the Bronco: TrailDeck plus the C1410 drawer and basket combo
Every time I go out for a multi-day trip, the back of my rig ends up looking like a bomb went off. By day two, the recovery straps are tangled with the camp stove, and if I need a simple wrench, I have to unload two heavy storage plastic tubs onto the dirt just to get to the tool kit at the bottom. It gets annoying fast, especially when it's getting dark and you just want to set up camp.
I ended up putting the BROADDICT C1410 drawers and their upper cargo basket in my truck to see if it would actually fix the stacking issue.
If you just pile tubs on the floor, everything shifts anyway the second you hit washboard roads. The drawers basically give you a heavy metal frame on the floor that doesn't move. They slide out pretty smooth even when loaded down with heavy tools, shackles, and a compressor. The top surface is flat and solid, so that’s where my fridge sits now on a slide.
The upper basket is what actually saves the vertical space. Usually, that area near the roof is just dead air. I throw light, bulky stuff up there—sleeping bags, jackets, and camp chairs. Because it's a grid mesh, I can just look through the rearview mirror and see exactly what's up there instead of guessing which tub a piece of gear is in.
Using them together means I don't have to play Tetris anymore. Heavy, dirty tools stay locked in the bottom drawers. The fridge and water jugs sit on the middle deck, and clothing or snacks stay in the top basket. Nothing is buried under something else, so I don't have to move five things just to get to one.
Install wasn't bad either. It’s all bolt-on using the factory holes already in the floor, so I didn't have to drill into the sheet metal. It's heavy powder-coated steel, so it adds some weight, but it doesn't rattle on the trail if you latched it right.
If you're tired of digging through a pile of gear every time you stop, this kind of setup is definitely worth looking into. It just makes camp life a lot cleaner.
Let me know what kind of storage setups you guys are running in your rigs.
