Hey everyone,

I am in the process of outfitting my compact overland rig & could really use advice on storage solutions. Space is obviously at a premium and I want to make sure I am maximizing it while keeping everything organized and accessible.

I am searching into roof racks, interior organizers & maybe some drawer systems for the cargo area. I have seen setups with MOLLE panels for the tailgate but I am wondering how practical those are for smaller rigs. how do you guys manage recovery gear storage? I do not want it rattling around but need it easy to grab in a pinch.

If anyone have Any suggestion, photos or tips please share. Also i have chec this article and resorse https://www.overlandbound.com/forums/threads/need-better-storage-organization-within-my-storage-bins-rpa
still need your advice.

Thank you....:)

Drawers can be nice, but typically take up extra space (because of the slides on the sides) and add weight. I know of a lot of people that use the pack-out type tool boxes (Milwaukee, Ridged, etc). I use a combination of hard boxes and soft cases.
Whatever you use, make sure it's well secured in the vehicle. In the unfortunate event of a mishap, anything unsecured becomes a projectile.
