5 Things We’ve Used the Gear Tunnel Tray For (So Far)

The Tunnel Tray was designed to help you reach all the weird, useful, heavy, and occasionally questionable things you shove into the R1T’s gear tunnel. It extends 40 inches from either side and was engineered to keep your gear organized and your knees bruise-free.

That was the plan.

Real life (and real trucks) don’t always follow plans. So here’s a short list of things we’ve actually used our Tunnel Tray for, no hypotheticals, no marketing fluff, just pure, glorious overuse.

1. Induction Burner, Camp Kitchen Style

An impromptu weekend camping trip calls for just the essentials. Not a full camp kitchen, just an induction burner set right on the tray with the water container set up right next to it.

2. Bill’s Fall Extrav-gourd-ganza 

Some people decorate. And some people dec-gourd-rate (ok, I think that's out of my system). A trip to the pumpkin patch grew into fitting every oddly shaped gourd and decorative squash in the gear tunnel, and quite comfortably at that.
Was it a necessary use of high-performance sliding gear infrastructure? Probably not..but we did it anyway.

3. A 200lb Gas Tank (Because Welding Happens)

We don’t love moving heavy pressurized objects. But when you need to haul a 200-pound shielding gas tank across state for a TIG setup, the tray makes a very secure platform, especially when it's well cushioned and strapped in. Yes, we have been told this photo just looks like a giant pepperoni. 

4. That Time We Fit a Floor Jack

Not just a jack. A big boy, full-size, steel-frame floor jack. It slid in like a dream. Easy access, wheels still attached, and no trunk gymnastics.We were impressed. The jack seemed pretty happy too.

5. A Second Tunnel Tray

Had to bring the newest design to the fabricator. Even with a Tunnel Tray already installed in the gear tunnel, it was no issue. Stacked like a champ, with plenty of storage space still available. 

Got a Weird Use Case? Send It.

We love seeing how people actually use this thing. If you’ve hauled something wild, weird, or just way too big, tag us on Instagram or hit up the forum thread. We’ll start collecting the best ones for a future post...or maybe a warning label.
