What do you use to hold your gear in bed of your truck?

Expedition…
Truck Vault….solid..compartments adjustability…supper tough and secure!
Just a little pricey but we’ll worth it..
 
Even though I have a canopy cover on my truck I still store a lot of my gear in totes in the bed. In order to minimize them sliding around I picked up an adjustable bed bar that goes across the entire width. You can get them at harbor freight for about 25 bucks. Great investment when you don’t want stuff sliding in the bed.
 
I started out with pick ups and no topper. That was a long time ago - of course it was a money issue, but somehow always had money for fun at the bar🤪 somewhere in my early 30’s went with the cheapest aluminum topper I could find - and have had a topper ever since - plus - aluminum toppers are light, so I would often take it off. in retrospect, should have made it a priority sooner. The dogs are protected from the elements, the biggest factor for me - although it’s nice to keep everything out of the elements. these days you could likely find a used one relatively cheap - and you have almost 3 months to find one - just an option to keep in mind - it doesn’t need to look pretty - just functional
The last topper I bought, was $100.
 
I know this is an older post, but I wanted to chime in! I can totally relate—it’s definitely a bit trickier to store gear without the topper. For hunting, I’ve used a few different methods over the years. One thing that worked for me was getting a good set of waterproof storage bins. They fit easily in the bed, and I could stack them securely. I also added a bed liner with a tonneau cover, which helped keep things dry and in place, especially if I hit some bad weather.
 
How much stuff are y’all bringing? Everything goes in back seat for me. Dog in Mudd River hammock, guns/shells in between hammock and front seat with lots of room to spare. All locked up weather free. Hammock easily removed and washable.

I use a two drawer system with dividers and I have top storage on my dog box as well.
