The beauty of a Decked system is that it doubles as a nice, flat sleeping platform.

I will have shorter Pelican Cargo ONLY video coming out soon that will cover technical details on install. I need to get my brackets in the bed switched out first and of course beat them up a little... Subscribe to be notified when new videos drop. This was more a "Storage Comparison" video and it was already long. Thanks for your patience while I get the right brackets.

Good for you for buying pelican cases I’ve been doing photography since I’m a kid and I’m nearly 50 years old and I am on 12 pelican cases for camera gear from small ones to very very large ones and they’ve never ever let me down so yeah they are easily worth the money they’re asking for these products. So to the people who can’t afford them out there I am a blue-collar worker I don’t make much money also do was save my pennies until I can afford to buy a decent quality products it’s just that simple. Sometimes you have to give up something for a little while to buy something else you want it’s just reality of the world a lot of us live in. Buying buying a high-end decent quality product that makes you feel Good and it is what you wanted is not a bad thing and it doesn’t make you a bad person.

Your explanations are clear and easy to understand. It doesn’t feel like you are “selling” one over another. Just describing what they each do. I really appreciate your channel. 👍

17:58 Great video. Though I don’t understand why people have so much salt over what you buy. I buy the best I can afford. Their is always something better on the market.

Big shout out to @BFGoodrich for sponsoring this Video's Giveaway. They were super generous and didn't ask for anything in return. It is Baja 1000 Week this week so I bet if you check out their channel they will have a lot of amazing videos going up this week.

So glad I found this site. Nathan is objective articulate and trustworthy. Lot of fun to listen to. Theres the weekend warriors and the month long overlanders but fon't forget us boondockers - people on the road full-time. We're watching too.😃

I told you your channel is going to blow up! BFG reaching out to you is awesome man! Keep up the good work.

17:57 Nice video on different options on how to store your cargo. I have used Pelican and Storm Case who is now owned by Pelican in the past for work. They are nice and durable. One thing I would like to point out is that Pelican will replace parts that get damaged on your case as part of the warranty which is pretty cool.

We have a WINNER - I exported the first 100 entry comments to a spreadsheet and then used numbergenerator.org to pull a random number... it was 33 if you are curious. AUSTIN L. WRITE is our WINNER. Enjoy the RC car and other BFGoodrich goodies...

I've been giving the Decked drawers serious consideration, but your review was the final push I needed to convince me they are exactly what I need going forward. Thanks!

Thank you sir. I had the Pelican deck system in my cart and was ready to spend some hard cash..then I saw this review. Saved me a few hundred bucks. I'll wait for a later version for the Pelican.

Seeing how the Pelican mounts to the top of the truck and needing to get up on top was great to see - thanks for showing the use.

By far the most informative over landing channel on KZfaq

Bomb @ 17:58! This was helpful to consider removable cases other than the decked system so I can still feel confident pushing limits off-roading, throwing a dirt bike in or anything else I’d need my full bed for. Great video!

17:58 5x boys in this household would love that RC car! Keep up the great videos!!

One thing I noticed about overlanding enthusiasts is that they have more to say than Louis, Clark and Sacagawea. Thanks for the info.

17:58 As a kid of the ‘80s that truck calls out to me. Keep the content coming!

Excellent review. Decked/Cargo cases was my first search. You actually thoroughly compared the utility of both. As I was wondering whether I could mount Pelican cases on the Deck... You fully answered my question. 😎

:30! That RC truck is amazing!

Home run! I add a rubber seal the my Plano cases to keep dust out. I take the bar off my saw to fit in a Plano, 2 minute job to reattach. Decked system rules. I may pick up a Pelican case, love the Pelican cooler.

Hey Nathan, I just stumbled across your video while checking out the Pelican brand cargo boxes online. Nice video, thanks man. So from the "for what it's worth corner", I really like the Pelican cases b-u-u-u-t, just like the Roam cases, they are a bit pricey, unfortunately. "Meanwhile, back at the ranch," I travel months at a time and actually like yourself, have been using the Plano brand trunks. To be more specific, I use the 108qt. "Heavy-Duty Sportsman Trunk". These trunks are a bit more sturdy than the regular Plano trunks and I haven't experienced any issues with them yet. (Knock on wood). I strap them onto my Gobi Stealth roof rack and have been through some pretty good down pours and dusty environments with no leaks or dust issues and that's even before I added some weather stripping to the channel on the lids. The weather stripping (md Auto & Marine Rubber Weather Seal - 5/16" H x 23/64" W x 17' L, purchased at Home Depot), fit perfectly in the lid channel and has created an even better seal. The "heavy-duty" trunks also have four latches, two latches on each "long" side of the box along with the 4 lock holes. They also have two wheels on one end and a handle on the other, so that you can pull the trunk around instead of carrying them. Which I've found to be nice. Yes, the latches are still "plastic", so you do need to exercise some amount of care when operating them. Especially, if you add the weather stripping like I did. (Things get a little tight). All-in-all, for the price (around $40.00 each unless you luck out like I did and find them at Cabela's for $24.00 ea.), I think that they're a good bargain for those of us who have to keep the budget in mind. Well then, why am I looking at other solutions? Thanks for asking, I'll tell you why. ;-) I'd actually like to find something with a little "lower profile" (less drag), than these Plano boxes, but still with decent storage space available. At approximately 14" in height, that's a lot of head-wind you hit. Especially, on windy & rainy days. Which doesn't help on the "mpg's" if you know what I mean. So as I had mentioned earlier, I'm pretty interested the Pelican brand cargo cases, just kind of having a hard time making that leap as far as their prices are concerned. What are the actual sizes of the Pelican cases that you've used so far? Thanks.

Hey. I had 2 brackets that would come open out of 4. I was initially really concerned but I figured it out and came to the same conclusion as you. I solved it easily by bending with pliers as well. Though I will say if you have security concerns you can also get the TSA luggage locks to secure them and ensure they won't come open or someone won't take them while you're in the grocery store.

17:58 tons of love for doing the work for me!

17:56-18:10 Great information bud 🤜🤛 I’m just starting off with my tundra and every bit of information your giving is greatly appreciated. Thanks

17:58 I am glad I found this over-land-ing channel. Lol I will be saving up for the pelican cargo cases.

17:57-18:10 it’s all about the investment pelican case 👍🏻 In their natural environment

17‘57” I saw your logo at 17:57. It’s so nice to see the comparison of different brand, to paying more money doesn’t always get better quality.

I like the action packers.

What would be really cool is the Pelican boxes with a slide mount that you could attach to a Decked system. Granted there are slider bed arrangements you could use. But imagine being able to just flick a release and be able to slide them out where they were easy to access and not have to mess with unhooking them to get at stuff.

A mix would likely be the best option, spend money on the everyday uses then get the cheap stuff for the things you dont use that often. Easy access while tied down for what you use often, cheap but more work for the stuff you dont...

17:58 Thanks for the info. Since my rig is still a daily, removable solutions are what I'm really looking for. Loving the content.

17:58 I know I’m late, my first truck was a 1983 Toyota, Great truck!!.

Definitely loving the pelican cargo boxes. Tough choice between them and Roam. Love your videos, thank you.

17:58 ... the wow this is exactly what I need now that I’ve moved my tent around and freed up some space on the roof rack. Thanks for the videos ❤️

I originally liked the idea of the decked system and it's not terribly priced for what it is...but to me, it feels terribly inefficient as the two drawers are very narrow and odd shaped. I do like the plastic construction tho, weather proof and wicked durable I'm sure. Going to be building one to integrate our kitchen, using Baltic birch ply, and locking 5ft or 6ft ball bearing slides then getting it coated in lineX when I'm don't building it. Some of these cases on top of the drawers would be good, I'm still running a tonnue tho to help security and weather. Then rack and tent are 10" or so off the bed rails.

17:58. Awesome vid and sweet RC. I've been contemplating the Pelican Cargo cases since they were announced. Thanks!

17:58 Awesome video and boy would I love to win that prize! Reminds me of being a kid building those cars with my dad!

Don’t know how I got here but aggressive dude at 14.30. You are in the circle of marketing Overlanding equipment even if you hate the word

Great info. My experience with front runner. (Tent, custom made rear Land Rover drawer system and some others on a bulk buy) all of their stuff fails. Before the warranty. I absolutely despise front runner and went out of my way to send them all the broken stuff for hundreds in shipping to show their Chinese junk for top$ fails. And their warranty …. Lack there of. Don’t ever put faith in. Front runner. I spent $8k and lost in all within a year.

17:58 Thank you for always putting out such informative information! I take something away every time.

17:58 - 18:10 like those Pelican cases.

I like the decked system but when I take my family we have like 4 large bags that need to go in the bed and I like to use a roll n lock cover to secure the bags and protect from weather. Not enough height left between decked system and bottom of roll n lock cover. I think my solution may be cross bars over the bed and using ROAM 95L on top to store equipment.

This is the best channel right here. Thank you for the videos/information

17:58... Thanks again for such quality content on KZfaq! I really think you're one of the best channels out there and I appreciate Your real world reviews... The one thing I'll say about the deck system that I don't like is that they don't make an 8-ft bed length option for a super duty Ford... Thank you and stay well!

17:58. I’ve been looking into storage solutions for my Tacoma, thanks for the great content!

@17:58 Glad to finally see this video drop! Thanks for all the hard work!

Pouches, pouches.. and a bigger pouch .. I laughed . Saw your boredom bomb at 17:58 Great content Would be rad to snag that RC car- my 11 yr old would love to drive a yota like his old man :) - keep it up boss!

The first 20 seconds makes this a thumbs-up video, lol (the rest of the video is good too!)

I like the Pelican cases, but they need to make one that's in between the BX80 and the BX135. I really like the ROAM except they have way too much overhang that takes up way too much space on getting your gear in and out of them. But think I'm going with the Rugid cases - same with them, wish they had a tweener size.

17:58 thought the bomb was a picture on the wall. Great timing just starting to look at cases. Going to by a pelican cooler at a local Dicks so I can return it if necessary. Drains have been leaking, buy and test.

Far out... Cool truck!

I don't know if prices have changed since this was published but the Pelican cases are actually pretty competitively priced compared to Roam and 23Zero cases. They are all in the same range, and the Pelicans appear to be much higher quality.

Window/door weatherstrip fits into the Plano Sportsman trunk lid to provide a pretty great weather seal. I stole the idea from someone else and can't find the video, but I have done it to all of mine. Simple, cheap increase to the weather protection for these bins.

17:58 This would be an awesome addition to the truck! I could run the RC truck when weather is nasty!

Round 2 for a giveaway attempt - 17:58 Just got some BGF KA 02's and would be psyched for a freebie. Thanks again Nathan.

17:58 Love the information, maybe don’t worry about the criticism so much? Great channel & thanks!

Great video man! I’m picking up my new truck this month, and am excited to get into over landing asap. Obviously I’d want to get better equipment like the Pelicans down the road, but for now those Plano’s will keep me out of debt and on the road more - and help me figure out what I want/need when looking at upgrading my setup. Thanks!

Watching this video, I’m glad I bought my Roam Cases 😎

Instead of your climbing up on your truck to fasten the brackets for the pelican case if you had a RSI smart rack your feet would never have to leave the ground. This rack slides towards you and then drops down making it easier to load gear you lift it up and slide it back in lock it in place there’s always a solution.

With all the talk about the Pelican mounting system options, would have been helpful to see close ups of how they mount. Although it sounds like you are waiting on the correct bed mounting brackets. I appreciate the rafting comparisons. Would you trust the Pelican Cargo Boxes on the river? I’ve used the normal Pelicans on the river for years, would be interesting to know how they compare. Seems like the new cargo boxes wouldn’t be as waterproof. Boredom Bomb at 17:59. 💣👍 Keep up the great work!

Apparently people don't have much issue with the Pelican pricing because they are sold out :-D Thanks for your channel and info. Great stuff!

Thanks for all the info. Looking forward to watching more of your videos.

All you need is a Ruck Sack, 550 cord and a few MREs. 👍🏻😎

The Yeti looks like a good trauma box / first aid kit

17:58 to 18:10 love all your videos helping me with my tacoma build so much!

I have 3 of the Plano Box and put it on top of my Prinsu rack for my tundra and had driven through rain and it holds well and dry

17:58, great videos and this one is just the info I was looking for !

17:58. Great info. I've been looking for a system like the Plane case solution.

picked up a few of the plano boxes today for our trip to OK for some trout fishing

17:58 Me and my son watching the video we saw the RC Truck now he wants it . But the kid in me wants one too.

17:58 I've been looking for a reasonably priced cases to store in the garage and throw in the truck when i hit the road. too big and they get too heavy. gotta be dust/water resistant. I've noticed some use the Rigid portable tool storage boxes. great budget option. love this channel. keep up the great work!

I just got a Pelican box and its great. For my application the Plano was just a bit too tall but I wanted something more durable anyway.

I"m redoing what I have timing is everything...Yes I have Plano now but that Pelican as I'm planning a long trip may be a good investment. Tks

I'm definitely all about the cheap cases. I'm not bagging on people spending $$ for a Pelican case, if I had the funds to go crazy that's what I'd get. It's just that most of the time what I'm putting in there costs less than the case. If somebody is stealing stuff from my truck they're not going to want what is inside, the case is more valuable than the gear. They'll just dump contents on the ground so it's easier to run off with the case. But mostly I like cheap stuff like the Plano because my setup and packing layout changes all the time. If I suddenly get some new gear that needs a different sized case or a re-arrangement of the bed I like being able to get new cases for under $20. Cheap and (figuratively) flexible ...as long as it keeps most of the dust and water out.

17:58 I'm happy with Planos but I'll seriously look into new Pelican products. Thanks.

23:11 Vivobarefoot TRACKER FG's...I have a pair myself. Great boot!

17:58 amazing storage options but I think I will stick with the Plano mainly do to cost 😂 believe me I will make them work!!!

17:58 just getting into overlanding and storage is currently on my shopping list. great timing

17:58 pelican all the way

17:57...always great content 🙏🏿

What do you think about this side opening Yakima cargo boxes that are meant to sit on top of sedans? I have a mid height bed rack that I’m thinking of mounting one on there and I figured they have more space and opening from the side helps with loading/unloading. Since I’m a ground tent type of guy I have that rail space available for it.

17:58 Love your content, one of the most informative people I have come across.

17:58! That R/C is amazing! My boys and I would love it!

17:58 just ordered my roof rack and trying to decide on which case to put up there with. Thanks for the info!

17:58 man I'm a new subscriber but I love the videos. I've recently got into overlanding ( not a word) lol with my son and were loving it so far.

17:58 loved the video! Keep up the hard work man

plano for the win

if i had a truck, decked would definitely be my option, but only owning a CUV in limited to roof rack

Love your channel, great work!!

Try the Echo brand square case for your chain saw. I carry mine in my truck and on my side by side it takes a beating.

17:58. Great video. I currently have the pelican cases they are awesome

18:03 Great review!

Awesome review. Thanks so much! Subscribed :)

17:58 Definitely would enjoy playing with it with my little brother while at a camping spot! If I’m the chosen winner, you can play with it before sending it to me! And good advice also!!

17:57 Love the videos man, thank you for being a great source

17:58 Awesome video as always, brotha! Keep em coming

17:57 Keep expanding the playlist! Grabbing a taco soon to apply this knowledge

17:58 That is a very cool RC truck :)
