Recovery Gear & Gadget Storage Solution | Pelican V730 | Toyota Tacoma Overland Build 

Couple recommendations I have - use a dremel and chop those bolts off(not that big of a deal though, depending on what you store). Use silicon packets (or whatever they're called) to keep in there. If you're in a hot state you will still get moisture in there and the packets will really help. Also, instead of that plastic sealant I would use rubber grommets and/or hot glue. I don't think you're going to have that much trouble coming up from the bottom where the bolts are, but hot glue and rubber grommets are a 100 times easier to remove later than the plastic sealant. Also, I would store that extinguisher outside under your tent in a place way easier to get to. Awesome video George!

Loving that slide out table under the bed rack!

Thanks for educating your audience on a load plan that makes sense - necessary essentials.

Thanks for sharing brother! I like the vault option over some others out there. Not TOO expensive, quality, and an easy install! 🇺🇸

Thanks for this video. Ended up using this box on my AT4. Thanks for the inspiration!

I definitely absolutely appreciate this video.

I put 2 of these on my cap rack but installed 2, 20lb gas struts per case to keep the lid open and I also put a piece of 3in wide aluminum flat bar in between the bolts to add strength and make sure the bolts don't rip out of the plastic bottom

Love the set up! To prevent the lid from opening all the way. I just used Paracord and loop it through the middle lock holes. I used just enough to where it opens and doesnt flop over. I burnt the end of the paracord together and holds solid!

Great truck man! I’m always trying to reorganizing my pack out these are some good tips

If you get some cheap Harbor Freight furniture pads cut them to fit the bottom things don't bounce around too much. When they get too messed up, just throw them away. I've found this works great in hard cases

Really cool setup man. Definitely taking inspiration from it!

Good video, only suggestion would be to move that fire extinguisher outside of the box (Think fire in the truck...) and to add some locktite to those nuts :)

10:44 you went Corg (MCU) for a second there 😂 bless up

Awesome video as usual brother!

Nice, gives me some ideas how to make this work on my rack.

Great information 👍. Thanks

Great video! I did the pelican 1750 and they are great, I did how ever drilled a smaller hole just enough to fit the bolt (1/4) and I used rubber washers with metal fender washers for the outside and inside the case and it has held up pretty good so far. Just my 2 cents. Either way, great setup!

Looks good. My only concern is why did you mount it on the passenger side? I put mine on the drivers side, so when I’m stuck or whatever reason I need to get to it, I open my door and stand on my rock sliders to get to all of it. If you’re stuck in deep water or mud you’re kinda screwed getting to your passenger side without making a huge unwanted mess.

🤙🏽 thanks for the video

Dude...the truck is looking more and more like a battle tank! Use that GameStop stock money..haha

i just picked up a v700 last week for some of my sub guns

I like the LA County First Aid Kit. 😂 Got one as well.

Add dri deck inside its great stuff. It raises everything up and creates air flow under it and keeps your stuff dry.

I bought the same one last year. Was debating with either the classic or vault series. Went with vault since it was cheaper and has the subtle orange accent. Also i noticed u did the same as I did with mounting on the passenger since originally. I wanted to install on the driver side but then the wheels was facing the front which looked tacky. Great choice nonetheless braddah!

Nice video I did something very similar myself. I have one suggestion and one piece of advice. My suggestion I put a bracket on the lid of the box and fastened my max tracks to that it frees up a lot of space. My piece of advice would be to get two flat bars drill holes into them and fasten it down with the bolts reason being that box is only held on by four nuts and a couple of washers if you hit something hard Or have to break extremely fast with the weight of the objects in the box it will more than likely rip clean off your roof rack those couple of washers aren’t gonna hold it when living in Australia I’ve seen this happen three or four times . you need to brace the box to the roof rack two pieces of flat bar running to the nuts will hold the box to the roof rack as is , it’s not the greatest idea. No criticism or anything intended just trying to help out hope you don’t mind.

It's not very convenient to have to unlock a box on roof if there is a fire you need to put out. Your fire extinguisher should be mounted in the cab (under the seat, behind the seat) somewhere it's accessible.

Pelican just recently launched the Cargo case line 🤘

🏆🏆🏆👍🙏 Thank you for sharing.

Love the box!! Any reason you decided to drill a hole bigger than the bolt size and almost the off the washers you used?

Hey so pelican just released a line of cases that have mounts specifically for the frontrunner rack for this purpose.

Have you got a video on the table and table slide for under tk roof rack

How is that Front runner mounting to the Tacoma bed rails? Is it holding up good

Iv got this box on my truck also and it’s such a great box. If you use the lid pad of foam I had to use spray adhesive to keep it down .. keep up the great work dude love the vids

When you installed the FrontRunner Slim line II, did you need to leave the weather strips that run along the channels on?

How's the pelican case holding up after use ? Would you still recommend it ? It looked great on the vid...

Hey George I just got the same rack does yours make a lot of noisy vibrations at 35-45mph?

is this also your daily driver? im thinking of getting a truck for overlanding, but it'll also be a daily driver - im curious, do you take off the overlanding gear when at home? If you do, how do you store it? I'm not trying to drive around with a tent or rig on my bed 24/7 - would love to see how you might handle that

1st 2 comment! I like your videos dude 🤘🏽

What kind of light are you running above the windshield?

can you provide any insight on why you chose this case versus the Pelican Cargo Cases?

Great video! Did you consider the V700?

which bolts and washers are you using ??

I need to know what case that is you use to store your Drone and Camera gear???

I'm jealous Your in a tshirt and I'm In Iowa

I love what you're doing with your truck, but I'd be worried that your sealant will get gooey if the sun heats up your box.

Hey George where did ya go to get the med kits?

“A machete .. “ hahaha

Curious, why this over cargo series? Cost? Fixed? Size options?

Yeah I got the Roam Adventure 95 L it’s kinda too big on my rack. I should’ve gotten the 83 L lol

Hey George what swing gate for the spare tire is that? Where did you get it? Thanks! Tell Bubba his little hemi said what's up! Thanks!

Starting my storage solution here in the near future. I couldn't quite catch the brand/website of weather strip used in the load bar track.

Nice bro! How's it been holding up?

Do you have another medical kit inside the rig. Seems like access to it quickly would be better than putting it on top

Bro where did you get that table????

I appreciate your mount process. However, I use mine as a gun case and storage when camping. Can't put holes in it 😳

How’s that Frontrunner table holding up? It looked like the steel table too was loose when you got it out.

Just installed two of these on my roof rack and after using them I have to say I’m pretty unhappy with the latches on the ends of these boxes it’s just a pain in the ass undoing the end latches and the lids feel cheap and flimsy. Think I’ll end up going with actual pelican air boxes with just latches down the side and more robust. Out $400 on these since I drilled through the bottoms to mount 🤦‍♂️

Have you got a link for that silicone?

Does anyone happen to know what the table that slides out at 0:09 is called or is it custom? Awesome Build btw!

So does that mean the box is on there forever?

This is awesome but my short ass will have issues getting up there

I’ve seen a bunch of videos on this subject where they use silicone/sealant like you. I still don’t get it. Water isn’t going to flow “up” into the case. And if water does get into the case somehow it will most likely be from the lid being opened in a downpour. In other word I don’t see the need to waterproof/“seal” a case like this. Worst case is you drill a hole for your hardware that just fits that hardware and its not too sloppy in the hole.

Save your money and move out of your parents house first!!! Jk..that's for the vid

You talk too much!
