Rear Storage Drawers finally finished.

[Anthony]

Sure, i have plans and so forth. I didnt take a ton of pics, but if you like i can put up pics of some of the finer details. All in all, its a simple build, and our trucks have tie down points in the back that can be used to bolt the drawers to the floor without having to do any type of drilling.

I highly reccomend the setup, either single drawer or dual drawer, i only went with a single drawer because you keep more useable storage space that way.

you wont regret it, its nice to have a place for everything, and everything in its place. If my truck was lifted with a 6 inch kit and mudders tho, i imagine it would be difficult to get into the drawer without a small step ladder (im 6 ft). You could always intigrate the ladder in some way to the bottom of the drawer itself, or just store it in the drawer.

Almost all of the hardware was purchased on Amazon, they have good prices and fast shipping. Timber, i would have loved to have a home depot for this, but in the aussie outback wood is more valuable than gold it seems. 3 sheets of construction grade Plywood was 300 bucks. Im sure its cheaper at home depot. Carpet usually runs about 15-20 bucks a yard for the good marine grade stuff, its water resistant and wont mold or rot.

At home depot it is about: $30-40 a sheet of Plywood.

So..$90 and you pay a $210 premium over USA Home Depot

looks good, probably a lot cheaper than the units they sell for police vehicles. What rear bumper guard is that?

What wheels are those, I'm just getting ready to spec a 2011 Tahoe and I like those wheels...?

Very nice work. Looks like a good place to stash some ammo and a few assault rifles.

Has anyone made one of these recently? What length and weight slides and what type of locking handle did you use?
