Keeping Truck Gear Safe in Colorado

5.5

With all your gear, and baby stuff and wife stuff and everything else you’ve got…in a small bed, maybe something like the Monster Vault gun safe would be the ticket.

Why?

You should be able to fit a dog crate and coolers on top. With a 5.5’ bed you’ll find yourself running out of room pretty quickly if you have a big dog box and many bins.

I have two drahthaars (65 and 50 lbs) and use the medium Dakota 283 kennels for them.

Fixed it

Good subject, let’s not ruin it with poor attitudes.
@Pikespeak you’re not wrong to be concerned but this problem isn’t as bad as it was in the past. Either way taking multiple ideas is best, minimizing what you take, don’t advertise (including any pro hunting or gun stickers), add security beyond a topper and spread things out between the cab, bed, under the hood.

Why?

It’s just what I have right now, I’ve had the truck for 11 years. Whether I should get a new truck now is a whole different question. With the kid, job, move, there’s a lot going on.

It’s a F150 with crewcab, to get a bigger bed I’d be looking at a 250 and Im not sure I can justify that. Towing a future travel trailer is a thought but definitely not a guarantee.
