Stubbies were designed for those who want to prioritize headroom over storage. Sitting at 4 ½ inches at their lowest setting, they are roughly half the size of our standard short legs while still providing enough adjustability to level out a 6ft sleeping surface in most vehicles. 

Comes in a set of 6.

Size & Specs

Specs:

  • 6 stubbies included in purchase
  • Adjustable from 4.5 - 6.5 inches 
  • Dual-locking technology removes wobble/play
  • Lightweight & Strong 6061 Aerospace grade aluminum
  • Black powder coated with stainless steel lock-pin 

Please note: The Hele Box storage case will not fit underneath the sleeping platform while using the stubbies, however, you will still have 4.5-6.5” of room under the sleeping platform to store car camping gear :) 

Vehicle Fitments & Instructions

Confirmed fitment with:

  • Every model/year of Subaru on our fitment list
  • Every model/year of 4Runner on our fitment list

**The vehicles mentioned above were the only ones we've had a chance to personally test. If your vehicle has a relatively flat trunk area without obstacles (i.e folded seats) protruding over 5” from the floor - stubbies should fit great!**

To use, simply tighten these in place rather than the short legs that come with your Hele Box.

Tip: With the reduced size in your frame, you may need to use the short legs that come with your Hele Box for the footwell area vs. the extended leg that would typically go there.

Why Hele Box?

The Hele Box is a true 3 in 1 Vehicle Sleeping System. The built-in storage capabilities, lightweight design to easily transform into a table, and .5" incremental adjustably makes our product the most-modular solution on the market.

So why didn't the big name brands think of this design?

Hele Outdoors is a small (but mighty!) business HQ'd in Colorado focused on creating gear we actually use in the field. Being both the supply and demand for our products give us competitive advantage in our creations.

FAQ

Do I need to buy these to use my Hele Box?

Nope! This is simply an add-on product for customers who are looking to prioritize more headroom!

Do these actually make a difference? Their only half the size of the standard short legs that come with the Hele Box..

You bet - 4 inches goes a long way in terms of headroom... It's not about how big it is, its about how you use it!;)

How many legs does it come with?

six!

Why don't you sell this product with the Hele Box in place of the short legs it comes with?

The Hele Box was built for the happy medium between headroom and storage space. With stubbies in place you lose a decent chunk of storage space - a critical factor for longer trips or those who tend to need more organizational capacity.

Will the stubbies work in every vehicle on the fitment list?

Not necessarily. Certain vehicles (like older Honda CRVs/Landcruisers) have rear seats that require more than 5" of clearance. Check out the size and specs dropdown for more information on fitment.
