My truck is equipped with the ram boxes and i was cleaning them out when i notices there were 6 slots 3 on each side in the box so figures someone made dividers for the boxes or something. rather than looking to see if they made them or not i decided to make a little DIY project out of it and make some dividers to keep things neat and organized.
Materials needed: Sheet Metal I used 0.063 T6 Aircraft grade aluminum. that is what we had in abundance at the hangar. Sandpaper to prep the metal and to get rid of any markings if you are going to paint them. Some type of paint or coating if you wanted to make them look a little nicer than just a piece of sheet metal, I used Rustolem truck bed coating to make them a little more rugged looking and match the bed. And you will need some type of rubber sheet (Optional)preferably sticky on one side to make applying better this was used to create a snug fit in between the slots.
Step 1: Measure and mark the distance in between each slot and determine the height that is desired. Cut the pieces out and round the corners so you don't accidentally cut yourself remember kids safety first Make sure to test fit to see if they fit before you move on.
Step 2: Prep and paint the dividers if desired.
Step 3: Apply the rubber strips. If you cannot find any type of rubber stripping that is sticky on one side you can always use an epoxy or adhesive to apply them. This step is also optional but i didn't want to have a chance of them coming out or rattling.
Step 4: Enjoy your new Ram Box dividers. no more clutters ram boxes. I can easily store nuts bolts etc. in between the dividers and not worry about them moving.
