Rear cargo storage....rubber floor problems

[Ilikemtb999]

so in my nnbs Sierra I had a rubber tote that sat under my rear seats and worked well for the basics (air inflator, towing stuff, tools etc).

Since there’s no storage under the back seat on my ‘hoe I have it in the rear cargo area and use a ratchet strap to keep it from flopping around. Anybody install any sort of cargo management back there to combat the rubber flooring?

This is what I have just not as tall, maybe an inch shorter with a carpet top.

That’s pretty cool but I think way more than I need.

Hello,

I love the rubber "carpet", but yeah, in the cargo area ... contents may have shifted during transit. I have an electric cooler/fridge in the back, pretty much all the time... I caught myself breaking in right turns to have it move back to it's "designated spot" *lol*

I got lucky and a federal agency was throwing them out, yes I said "them" as in several! The one I have is actually for a Ford Expedition and it slid right in. The only issue I have is if I want to fold the rear seats down I need to pull the storage out about a half inch so the levers on the seats don't get hung up

No clue. I was just wondering if someone had a cheap solution for stuff sliding around on my rubber floor lol

yup, same here... on road trips to TX, visiting family, I take stuff to fill up the cargo area. Coming back I buy tools etc.. to fill up the cargo area. There must be an easier, less expensive way, to keep stuff from moving around.

well there's a cargo net you can use and there is 4 triangular mounting points, mine is not the ppv but I am sure the mounting point bolt holes must still be present? mine has regular carpet but came with a rear GMC rubber mat and that thing is pretty skid proof heavier stuff never budges, I use the rear space in mine to haul stuff all the time
I keep a couple things in the jack storage compartment, I have a heavy duty set of jumper cables, a 12' chain, gloves and there is room for plenty more
here is the link to a cargo net (oem)

I bought a cheap organizer off amazon just now that has some tie down points. I’ll report back. I thought of just getting some cheap carpet from the fabric store and adding it back there over the rubber.



Mine only has the 2 tie downs near the tailgate but has some hooks on the seat frames to use too.

I do have the drivers rear storage filled with recovery stuff. Tire inflator, some tools, jump pack, etc. pretty nice feature.


This is what I bought.

Of course I could use something like that... I was more looking for something to put down, that keeps stuff from sliding around. Like a rubber mat, a liner or so. (similar to these rubber floor mats, but figured that might just slide around too.

I’ve had weathertech cargo liners before and shit slides just as much as with the stock rubber floor in this thing. I think you’d have to add carpet to get something that doesn’t fly around too much without strapping it down. Or use some shelf/tool box liner with double sided tape.

that could be what is needed is a piece of carpet underneath then because my gmc rubber mat doesn't budge on the carpet, I mean it will if you do a emergency stop or something but otherwise it stays in place very well I wish I had put one in my nbs that I drove for 12 years.

I used that toolbox liner, rubbery mesh, under my electric cooler/fridge it just slides a little slower *lol*

I bought a 3'x4' piece of carpet/mat at the local hdw store ($15) and some double sided carpet tape. Fits great but stuff still slid around a bit, so I now use plastic storage bins. If full, they don't move at all. The mat nicely covers all the holes and cuts in the vinyl from the cop storage locker.
