Carpenter by day, cool dad by night

I am a first time Tundra owner. Previous truck was a ‘13 Silverado crew. My Chevy was a fine vehicle and served me well for the last 5 years but started leaking oil and the body devolved significant rust problems. It was time to upgrade and I’m very pleased with my new ride! Switching to Toyota has been a goal of mine for a long time and I wish I had sooner.
I am a custom trim/finish carpenter and use my vehicle for work and personal use. It takes many tools and good organization to work efficiently in my trade. I am always looking for new ways to maximize my truck storage in ways that allow me to locate and store my tools. I own and use a 12’ box trailer for my larger tools and materials and I carry my most used items in my vehicle. As a new Toyota owner I hope to educate myself through others experiences via this forum!

Current set up:

Truck bed:

-Maktrak tool boxes for large and small hand tools (Dewalt power tools - I have 1 or 2 of everything lol).

-2 step and 3 step folding stools

-6’ king komo ladder

Cab:

- Dewalt 12v drill/driver, larger impact driver
-surplus fasteners
-Diamondback tool vest with mazo trim bags
-rolling mechanics stool
-Sola level set (stored in stabila bag. Sola doesn’t make a handy multi level soft bag).

***current mod needs***

looking for solutions!

-place to hang tool vest inside cab that is semi secure, keeps tools from falling out in transport, does not take up too much space.

-solution for tool boxes shifting and sliding in truck bed. But allows for ease of loading and unloading.

Cheers!

 

Welcome from NY.

 

Welcome! This is how I roll to keep things organized and easy to access.

 

Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)!

 

For organization, there is a picture on the giant Milwaukee thread. That thread itself is worth looking through for storage ideas for sure. https://www.tundras.com/threads/milwaukee-tools.150636/

 

Welcome from South Central Tennessee!

Whereabouts are you driving?

My 2006 Chevy Colorado went 195k trouble free miles over 20 years before the rust got to it from midwest snow and salt storms.

Congratulations on the new Tundra!
