It’s Not Too Late (Yet)

When left unchecked, rust is like an infection that spreads throughout a truck. This can lead to structural issues and giant holes requiring repairs in the thousands of dollars (that sticker shock may even be what led you here).

But you’ve made the right decision to act now.

Below, we’ll tell you everything you need to know about:

  • The type of results you can expect to see.
  • Why this solution was so difficult to make.
  • Where our Quick Covers are made (and who makes them).

Professional Results

When we spend our hard earned money on an F-150, Super Duty, Silverado, Sierra, or Ram we want it to look good. But time can turn a clean truck into a rust bucket.

Unfortunately, a lot of aftermarket products stick out like a sore thumb. They’re bulky and can’t be painted to match your truck’s color. The "fix" is a bit less ugly than the rust, but no less apparent. It feels as if those parts were designed to say "Hey! There's rust under here!".

When we designed our Quick Covers, we wanted them to fit seamlessly into the original design of your truck. They also needed to be receptive to paint, to match it to your truck’s color. In other words we wanted to create a DIY part that could compete aesthetically with a professional body shop repair.

Hard to Make

That proved to be harder than we initially imagined. Making a 1 or 2 piece panel with complete coverage and a perfect fit required manufacturing processes that typically couldn't hold tight tolerances. Further, we had no idea what demand would be and we didn't have much money - so we couldn't invest in high-volume production.

We toured many other manufacturing shops, but ultimately realized that if they couldn't match our specs and if we weren't willing to compromise on the design, we'd have to make Quick Covers ourselves.

A mfg is Born...

So that's what we did. We started our own manufacturing company and called it OAM — Original Appearance Manufacturing. A play on "OEM" as a reminder to never deviate from our extremely high quality standards.

OAM recently acquired a 20,000 sq ft facilty in Ames Iowa where we will continue to grow our product offerings and manufacturing capabilities. Most of our team has been here since (nearly) the very beginning.

We haven't taken any money from investors. We are privately owned, and our core leadership team consists of 3 brothers; Zach, CEO and one of the original founders of OAM | Seth, Operations Manager | and Cody, CS and Warehouse Manager | A true family business. By bringing everything in house, we were able to create American jobs and control every single step of the manufacturing process to ensure the highest possible quality. We could have chosen to outsource the manufacturing of our parts overseas. That certainly would have been easier. And we know everyone else does it, but we felt it was our moral responsibility to support our homeland and deliver products unlike any others.

Description

Accessible - Secure - Underseat Storage 

IN STOCK & READY TO SHIP!

Rugged

The T RuK underseat drawer is designed to withstand whatever you throw in it:

  • welded and powder coated construction
  • fully bolt-on installation
  • premium CNC-machined aluminum pull, laser-etched logo, anodized finish
  • keyed lock
  • limited lifetime warranty

 

Utility 

The T RuK underseat drawer is designed to be accessible from the most common and comfortable position (standing outside the truck) while making the best use of the space under your seat:

  • maximum space - each drawer is designed specifically for your truck > to use all possible width and height under your rear seat
  • 2-way lock - by hand for quick access or with key for maximum security
  • split-design - one drawer per side of cab allows for maximum application as many trucks have uneven floors or factory-electronics on one side
    • for trucks that can accommodate 2 drawers, the split design allows a more affordable entry point (buy one drawer now, the other drawer later - or an alternative kit-out for the second side)

Kit-Out

More info and accessories are coming soon to make best use of the T RuK drawer system inside and out:

  • modular internal organization
  • drawer alternatives for trucks with passenger-side impediments
  • brand collaborations (Builtright MOLLE panels will be available soon!)


The Backstory - "Designed by a Dad"

As the father of two young children there are 1 or 2 car seats in my truck at all times, so I can't use the back seat as a catch-all anymore. I can't use traditional underseat storage products either, unless I remove one or both of the child's seats every time.

A couple of close-calls also made me more concerned about storing things unsecured. In the event of hard braking or an accident loose items become projectiles capable of harm. Other items (pew-pews, etc) are unsafe if left unsecured under any circumstances -especially with children present.

What I needed was something that made the underseat space accessible without lifting the rear seat, and remained secure in all driving conditions.

The solution seemed to be an underseat drawer.

A quick online search revealed there were other underseat drawers already on the market, but they all suffered from at least one of the following issues: 

*poor accessibility - drawer(s) that weren't fully accessible or couldn't be opened standing outside the cab

*poor security - cheap construction (rivets, thin metal) that could fail quickly

*low/no configurability - no customization options

*very limited applications - only fit one or two makes/models

So I decided to come up with my own design. After many months of R&D, and working closely with my fantastic design engineer, Jonathan, we came up with a design that exceeded my expectations.

Like other OAM products the T RuK underseat drawer solves a real problem, and it is designed for real people. I also believe that highly-functional products don't have to be ugly, so we never settle for anything less than sophisticated design.  And lastly, we always strive to deliver products with premium quality, and good old-fashioned customer service. I hope you find this product as beautiful and useful as I do, and please, if you have any comments or requests for future improvements please share them with us by emailing support@oamusa.com.
