We all know how much fun overlanding can be. However, to truly enjoy it, you need to prepare well for it. This means that you must pack all of the essentials and goodies that you possibly can. For this however, you need all of the storage that you can get. You need to install the best overlanding storage solutions. Thankfully, expedition trucks have an advantage here due to their spaciousness.
The following are the 5 best storage places for your expedition truck:
A roof rack is one of the most basic overlanding storage solutions out there. It can be installed on even the smallest expedition vehicles. This is a rack that is fitted to the roof of your vehicle (expedition truck in this case). You can keep stuff on top of it and tie it for good measure.
Your roof is a highly unutilized area and it is one of the strongest parts of your truck. Therefore, you need to take full advantage of it and not leave it empty. In fact, you can even combine it with the next overland storage solution on this list.
You know how the stuff on a roof rack is fastened and out of the way, but it is exposed to the weather? Well, one or more rooftop bags should do be able to keep your stuff not just out of your sight, but also safe from the environment. You can fill the bag with stuff, and fasten it to the rack.
A rooftop bag can be removed from the roof and placed on the ground whenever you need to get something from it. Remember that to truly protect your things, you should pick only the best rooftop bags. These shouldn’t just be waterproof, but they should be dustproof as well.
Now, let’s focus on the overlanding storage solutions inside your expedition truck.
Can you imagine a world without drawers? Where would you tuck away and keep all of your stuff? Drawers aren’t just for your houses, they’re a vital part of expedition trucks and RVs as well. Drawers don’t just keep your stuff away from prying eyes; they also help keep it organized.
You can also lock away your drawers so that adds security to the mix as well. Another great thing about drawers is that you can install them anywhere. In fact, they’re the least in terms of space consumption out of all the items on this list.
Here’s an underrated overlanding storage idea that’ll work on any expedition vehicle. A roof console is a handy piece of storage for your vehicle’s cab. You can use it to store small things that you may need while driving. It utilizes the headroom that you may not really need.
Now, while the storage locker sounds great, it’s not the only salient feature that you can find on a console. The best roof consoles come equipped with other helpful stuff such as built-in lighting, a cable holder for your mic, and communication stuff.
Now this one’s an exclusive thing that’s only found in the most premium expedition trucks. However, it is very useful if you have an offroad motorbike or an ATV. You can store the bike there and when you’re on a rough trail, you can park the truck and take out the bike for an adventure.
If you have an expedition truck with a mini garage, but you don’t have a bike; fret not. You’ve just been blessed with some extra space for storing your stuff.
