79 Series Bug Out Tray add on - Mission Crate

Stuart’s 79 Series: The Original Bug-Out Tray, Now Upgraded with the First Mission Crate

Stuart was no stranger to practical setups—his 79 Series Single Cab was already running our Bug-Out Tray, built tough and ready for anything. 

He came to us with a simple brief: make it easier to carry his boxes, jerry cans, shovel, axe, and MaxTrax—without the daily hassle of straps and tie-downs. He wanted everything in its place, locked in and ready to go.

That’s when we designed and built the very first Mission Crate.

Born from Stuart’s real-world requirements, the Mission Crate is a heavy-duty, integrated storage solution that’s as tough and no-nonsense as the rest of his rig. No rattling gear, no shifting loads—just secure, fast-access compartments that keep everything where it should be.

Since then, the Mission Crate has become a staple of our builds. But it all started with Stuart’s 79, and a practical idea brought to life.

Now his setup’s even better—and he’s always ready to hit the road at a moment’s notice.
