Here are some pictures of my rack design, I have the RamBox bed so the rack was adapted to the cargo boxes.

The RTT is a Naturnest Polaris 2 with reinforced corners, it will be installed later this week.

I gotta give Dodge credit for that bed storage. Without it, you'd just have a black hole of wasted space back there. Like I have. I’m looking forward to hearing what you think of that rack and RTT after a year or two. Love mine. Looking good, brother.

The rack I chose still enables me to use the RamBox compartments, so I did t loose any space but I did limit my bed space. Looking for water proof containers now for cooking, tool and fuel container storage

Look at the toolbox “pack out” systems. I’m trying them out as replacement for my decked system. The Milwaukee rectangular open top fits 6 green propane cans perfectly or, 3 propane cans and a lot of other “cans” on the other side— very configurable. I drilled some holes in it for "air flow." Combine the various boxes and drawer stacks for easy "packing out"; I like. I'm not shilling for Milwaukee though, I chose the Rigid set. They all have various styles and such. The Milwaukee one just works for propane.

Hi guys

Awesome build. I have three Milwaukees and will get more. However my wife really enjoy having her kitchen etc packed in the house. She labels and send the boxes back to car. At the camp we stack them and the vehicle can leave for expedition drives. So I second boxes any brand as long as it locks snap to each other.

Great information I will check them out
