Want advice: Best Storage Solutions for a Compact Overland Rig

[ethanclark]

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....:)

If you mentioned exact model vehicle...it would help.

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.

Depending on what you want to store I suggest buckets with lids, Action Packer boxes from Rubbermaid and Nanuk or Pelican cases. The one caveat is if the container is too large it will be difficult to put in/take out of the vehicle due to weight.
