I'd keep it in the toolbox if it can be locked. Otherwise, you won't have anywhere to put it. When I get my Ranger it'll be the XLT cab just for things like this.

the passenger seat, passenger floorboard, the truckbox if someone HAS to have a ride,

How big is your BOB? Can it be broken up and stored behind the seat? I wouldn't put it in the tool box unless it is sealed well and locks.

tool box opens left side right side not full top at once. im not sure if i can fit it in the box at all. i do have some survival supplies behind the seats but.....

If it's a BOB meant to stay in your vehicle, you can use a suit garment bag to store everything thinner/flatter behind the seat.

Sounds like a good reason to get a bigger truck.

I have a similar situation with a bigger truck. I have a full sized extended cab, but I also have to carry tools for work. I keep my GHB, not a full blown BOB, behind the center console. If I jump into another vehicle it comes with me so I don't bury it. Back windows are tinted so it is mostly out of sight.

With a standard cab truck I just sit it at me feet in the passenger side. Easy access and doesn't draw lots of attention. I have covered it with a shirt or jacket, crumpled to look like a pile, if I have to park in a higher populated area.

As mentioned this is a GHB, think messenger size, not a full blown BOB.

Cabela's: DU-HA™ Under/Behind-Seat Storage

Cabela's: Classic Accessories™ Deluxe Backseat Gun Rack with Detachable Case

This is why I got an SUV that fits my needs

While it's not ideal, I keep mine behind the seat and cable-locked to the seat frame. It's a "three day" milsurp patrol pack.

I would just carry a GHB, but if u want to keep BOB in the truck I would put it on floor of passenger seat

A small trailer should do it.....

This would probably be more comfortable for Bob.

I have a 95 F 150, regular cab, and all of my stuff is just crammed behind the seat. I've got a medium sized GHB, and some extra boots, and a few extra tarps stored there.

I keep an EDC under the seat of my truck, out of sight from all the windows. The truck looks perfectly empty so thieves won't bother it. I'm currently building a specialty bag for the tool box. Mainly for an assault pack style load. Plan to keep it tucked under the tray and in a trash bag to keep it clean and dry.

 

[littletommy]

I've thought of adding a tool box in the bed, but I would probably do some major upgrading of the locking system on whatever style I buy, have never seen one with acceptable locks.

If it is a get home bag it does not need to be so large. If it is your primary 72 hr. BOB then you need a bigger truck or break it up into a get home kit with minimal contents so you can get to the BOB at home. That is how we do ours. Just a suggestion.
