Bed Storage Bin Option: Husky 57 Gallon Storage Tote With Wheels

[jookyone]

Needed a waterproof-ish option for large items that didn't block the gear locker, and probably fits under the Basecamp tent. Don't have the tent, but looks to be low enough. They have wheels so easy to move around after getting them out.

Great find ???

Yeah, I also picked one up yesterday (6/22), as a matter of fact. I only got one because I didn’t think two would fit, according to Husky/Tesla measurements - glad I was wrong. I think I failed to take into account the bed walls are “tapered” and move outwards with height. Tesla “only” measured 51 inches width at the bottom, but that increases and accommodates the tapering of the Husky bins. Luckily, Home Depot is only 5 miles away from my home. OTW!

I'd be broke if I lived that close to a Home Depot.

Picked up a second Husky57 gal unit, and a second HDX 27 gallon tote as well. It’s all a pretty tight fit, which might be good since I don’t think I need to strap anything down now. The smaller HDX 27 gal totes don’t quite fit perfect though.
But they work. Good enough is good enough (for some of us). #priorities

Beats the $250.00 price tag for the Tesla bins...me likes it!!!!! As long as it does not impinge the under cargo bed door.

It does overlap by about an inch or so but physics and levers prevents it from mattering so far (see 3rd pic). I haven't filled them with water, gravel, or bricks... yet

It’s nice they are low enough to stay under the light bars so at night you may not need a flashlight to see contents.
Thanks for the info.

Agree. I loved the form-factor also. Low center of gravity, looks like it will be good for large duffel bags etc. I plan on using mine in August on a road trip from ABQ to Las Vegas (NV) - we have a "Las Vegas" in NM also, LOL - then up past Tahoe to Reno and north into CA Sierra Rockies. Happy to post a report in late August or September if anyone cares by then.

Good find. Looks great. Although smaller, I prefer the totes mentioned in this thread ---> Aftermarket Bed Storage Bins -- Husky Heavy Duty Waterproof Stackable Plastic Storage Containers [Updated w/ photos vs. Tesla Vault Bins] | Tesla Cybertruck Forum - News, Discussions, Community - Cybertruckownersclub.com

Same boat here RE the Tesla storage bins....no way in hell I want to cough up $75 per for bins with a vault floor-matching lid...found another thread about these smaller Husky bins at HD...$32 a pop and they fit perfectly at three wide. The clear lids are a plus, IMHO, and they hinge either way so opening and accessing is easy. Also gave me a reason to practice on the wife's Cricut. Not sure I'll keep the logos on the bins, but I did want to make sure the craft machine can do what I want with the Cybertruck graffiti logo. They turned out fairly decent anyway, I think...?‍

What bed liner is that?

Does it work with divider?

They look great.

Ive seen pictures where the official Tesla bins are used to store the Cybertruck Tailgate Ramps. I would like to do the same but I don't want to spend that much money on the bins. Im trying to find the specs on the rmap to make sure I get a bin that would fit the ramps but Ive had no luck. Does anyone know the measurements for the ramps when they are folded up?

BestEVMod Bed Liner
NOT Compatible with divider, which wasn't an issue for me as, again-I'm not chomping at the bit to pay $350 for a piece of punched powercoated aluminum. However, my plan has changed from what I was originally going to spend the PowerShare voucher on, and the divider is the only thing that I can justify to get my cart total up to that $2500 point.

I did just cut some flaps into the liner to access the vault floor D-Rings, and it cut very easily. My plan for the divider is to get it in place where I want to install, scribe some lines and slice a chunk out so the divider will sit down flush and tie into the Ltrack. Not ideal, but the liner doesn't have to be self-containing like the rear seat all-weather mat (very nice touch, though, being one piece with curbs around perimeter). The real reason for it is to prevent destroying the factory plastic in there.
