Pakk Ratt Storage

Anybody seen these before? I'm not a big fan of tire covers, but this is a pretty cool idea:

What a surprisingly unique idea! I especially like the recovery strap ties around the outside of the tire.

Re: Pakk Ratt Storage

I really like this too! A great idea to use that space for storage! And at around 160.00, it's not badly priced. A stock FJ tire cover sells for more than half that sometimes.

They also make them to size, so it's a cover for your oversized spare too!

Nice!

Re: Pakk Ratt Storage

can you lock it? not to be a naysayer... but is interior space so valuable that you have to store all of your gear outside? just my $.02

You can lock anything, but I would think it rather pointless...it's like locking a soft top heep...just pointless.

My interior is not that bad, but I have seen some that need all the space possible. However, if I have snatch blocks and the like in the cab, I rather prefer them not flying at my head in the off chance I get in an accident.

I would also think it's a great place for dirty recovery gear on the trail. You can always remove it at home. I like my vehicle clean inside.

Re: Pakk Ratt Storage

fair enough! i have most of my gear stored in a bag inside the cabin... or mounted somewhere inside. the tire bag is a good use of otherwise dead space...

Re: Pakk Ratt Storage

Thats a cool idea for storage!! Although I still like inside storage better, but thats good cuz once all your equipment is dirty you don't have to worry about the interior getting dirty.

Very nice idea. I like it, and the price isn't bad either.

Re: Pakk Ratt Storage

Very cool idea, I doubt that anyone would even think to look for stuff on the spare (except for the blatant advertisment on the cover). Even a small lock would be effective.
