2 Years in the Making: Introducing STORMOD

In a previous 4wding life I built a Jeep JK with all the fruit and one of the most rewarding mods was the DIY storage solution in the back, squaring off the weird shapes into storage bins and compartments. This transformed my camping and overlanding experience - everything had a home, and I stopped forgetting to bring 'that thing' because it was always in the Jeep!

Fast forward a few years and I moved into a new series Isuzu D-MAX and my first proper dual cab ute. One of the first things I missed was the storage - I now had all this space in the tub but somehow nowhere to put things! I set to work...

After 2 years of literal CAD prototyping (cardboard aided
design) before moving to wooden tests, to actual prototypes with extrusion and checkerplate, the first designs of STORMOD were born. This 'final' prototype setup was 2x Square Storage Bin boxes and 1x Over-Arch Box. I ran this setup for over 12 months and tested the heck out it, many trips with gear thrashing around inside, full lithium 12v setups, even a fully loaded 8000 km Cape York trip.

Everything survived (I even still have the original), so I knew it was time to get into some serious development.

Rigorous testing was a crucial part of the STORMOD development process. We subjected prototypes to a series of tests to ensure durability, stability, and water resistance. These tests included weight capacity tests, vibration tests, and exposure to extreme weather conditions. The result is what we believe to be the strongest, most modular and customisable 4wd and Overlanding Storage Solution on the market.

After some 3 runs of initial production sold out, it was time to get serious and STORMOD was registered as it's own business and scaling began. A massive thank-you for your interest in the product and 'simplified DIY' concept, we look forward to seeing how you use our product and can't wait to show you what we're cooking up next!
