Under seat storage

I just did this mode. Very very easy. I cut my floor mats so the bins go over the mat.

 

I had originally picked up a set of weathertech to use with my ESP lockable long box, but didn’t want to cut them up. I sent them back and ordered a set of Husky mats and they fit perfectly without cutting. Love my Husky’s.

 

Nice mod. Can you take the mat out easily or is that just not an option anymore?

 

I just bought some foam at Wal-mart and cut it to fit.Under $40

 

Too bad they don't have those foam pads in black!

 

Once you drop seat bottoms you only see a little bit of foam. I guess you could paint edges.

 

You could just spray them with paint I guess. Once I lower seat bottom I don’t see much of them.

 

Definitely can take the mat out. Just pull the storage bin up and mat can be pulled out. The storage bin just sits in the holes you cut in the floor so it can be pulled out whenever.

 

I took the inexpensive route and am very pleased with the result. There are wires under the foam so be careful!

 

FYI - The factory foam appears to be pretty durable stuff, so I am fine using it as the walls for my storage.

 

Can’t decide if I want to get creative or buy the ESP storage.

 

Have you seen this? Creative and affordable.

The ESP is easily the best mod I’ve made. You won’t regret it.

 

I have the same gun case in my basement. Cheap and easy but not eye appealing enough for my taste. If I were to do it, I would seriously consider the esp plastic insert.

 

That’s likely the route I’ll go


I know many have said it doesn’t affect road noise in the vehicle, but it seems like it would when cutting out that amount of foam right where it’s located. .

Don’t the ‘20 and ‘21 have a wire in the middle area that can effect the storage bin?

 

Question. Do you think by cutting carpet and foam you reduce R value of cab if it even matters and any increase in road noise..

 

No increase in road noise whatsoever and no negative issues with R value. Only thing I did was used the cut out carpet pieces underneath the bins before I put the unit in.

 

Cheers.. couple more beer and I’ll start cutting

 

Agreed.

 

Not sure if your year model has wires going through that area...just an fyi...

 

Doesn’t the 2020 and 2021 have the wires in the middle section?

 

Thought this was only if you have the smart key.

 

I do

 

So... no noticeable noise from the drivers seat. What about the rear passenger seat, where they do sit on top of the actual reconstructed area?

 

I agree this seems to be a good cheap alternative as long as you do not need to separate items. I might try it for the short term and look for something that is similar in size that will do the same but look better.

 

How deep is the area you cut out?

 

Cutting carpet and foam still seems too invasive. I’m surprised there isn’t a product which simply raises the back seat to get clearance, sort of like the Lock’er Down SUVault, but with a bin or tray and instead of the very expensive vault.

Make sure and post photos of that inverter, I am really interested in this addition.

 

Does anyone know of a promo code for the esp storage bin? I'm thinking about getting one and it would be nice to save a few dollars.

 

The 3-bin ESP storage unit was the second mod I made to the truck. (2018 CM)

It has a factory appearance, does not increase road noise for any occupant, and it does not interfere with the installation of a sub. It offers plenty of storage for small items, but is not good if you want to store a rifle.

I applied DynaMat to the bottom of each well at the time I upgraded the sound system and applied the material all over the truck. I can’t honestly say that it made a difference because I never heard any road noise from the cut outs BEFORE applying the DynaMat.

I got mine as a Christmas gift, so the $ didn’t bother me at all. (And honestly this is one of the less expensive upgrades amongst my addict-like spending on this beast)

The included installation template is spot-on.

I think (do your research) that they make one for 20-21 that installs right over the wire at center.
