Gravel dust inside the box
Hi all, my truck box with tonneau cover always have dust inside when use gravel roads. Any way to stop/reduce it? I have stuff in there as my storage. Thanks!

Very difficult without a little know-how intervention., you will have to go to extremes sealing it, meaning air tight. That's absolutely air tight. The T-gate area is enemy #1. Research vehicle/road air flow dynamics. Have you waxed the truck, then tackled a dusty dirt for a short time only to find that the tailgate has thickened up with a heavy layer of dust already ? Yea, I loved spending most of my life out in the country, way out. Controlling the environmentals just right is no easy task. Seal the gate area the best you can and/or wire in a a little re-claimer w/air intake set up and keep it maintenanced.
Hey, could be worse, as in ciggy smoke...nasty stuff.
