I added some weather stripping to the top of the box, which additionally helped seal the dust out. I don't have a SxS, but helps greatly in the back of a pickup. I keep all my camping gear in these year around. Just toss them in the truck and go. Been rained on and covered in dusty roads several times with no issue. Been 4 years now but if I need to replace them it’s cheap. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost85 Report post Posted April 28 I’ve always used a canvas tarp. Lay it in the bed first, throw all your gear on it then fold it over the top of everything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redman Report post Posted April 28 BEST THING and the cheapest - one will last 1-2 seasons and easily fit 4 hunting packs - plus the jackets when you take them off - no dust - zippers can break but at this price get two and you will be set https://www.amazon.com/Primode-Artificial-Storage-Protective-Zippered/dp/B01N47GA46/ref=sr_1_6?crid=28OT6SAYWJN7B&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.Pc1hGndsFurOGw1tuesqU4ZwQHw4jMCyH-qbpP7HO2DBPivkqj2EHmMlaqVgnmLwmu8WBVqIYWBbXd6wv1liCmPwlNMfUvg8MK5tqifE4q6PR5EH2bpfUjMnkNON8hWIRugVkHAu2l1ytxhqa5clUoHLHHIkz7T8Yw27T_mbnhy6JqqcdznHX1cQ-4e700UaZkkV25tYV1JWD5tAf6CzP_wf08DaGuqUqolSlO7wGNXG9ryTyG3E3vaFr0gLCKoa7A5t-hq1MK8k_fBuRIpp4njwS17wcvhkaTyPtykalFo.KnrHS35AB_SIdTJ2N1RAVBDuRTE7M_imJgEFNa-RrMc&dib_tag=se&keywords=christmas+tree+storage+bag&qid=1745840029&sprefix=christmas+tree%2Caps%2C619&sr=8-6 these are great for even bed of trucks when you know you will be on a dirt road or when it is raining - I have been using them for 5 years and best thing ever 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oz31p Report post Posted April 28 I’ve never really had this problem but I think it’s because my sxs too slow to kick up dust 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To get up to 20mph it needs to be on a trailer. normally I drive in in the dark and out in the dark I sleep in the bed of my truck most of the time 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

buglethemin Report post Posted April 28 This is exactly why I sold my sxs. Owned 2 of them and sold them both for same reason. So what I can’t make it to the glassing spot or hunting area 5-10 min sooner. I can get anywhere a sxs can w my gen 3 4Runner or gen 1 sequoia for a fraction of the price of what sxs cost now and all my expensive gear /glass/rilfles are dust free and always protected. Plus ac and heater and can have a conversation w my passengers. And no more loading and unloading a trailer. Not a sxs hater but just got tired of them. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love my sxs, gets me places I can’t go without serious wear and tear or risking real damage on all the but the most built up truck/4runner,and gets me there a whole lot faster and easier. keeping a nice truck nice is impossible if I took it where I take the sxs.Dust can be annoying, but a little problem solving keeps important stuff clean…. I put a tool box on my bed extender, works great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
