"from simple minds" as they say. It was a figure as you build thing, and is pretty pedestrian in it's construction. It was however cheap, materials easy to source, and it is bomb proof and totally utilitarian. I would need to total the truck to break the bed/drawers (Gorilla Glue and screws). I use them all the time, not just for camping. I'll make one for every pu I own period.
I wouldn't do much different. Maybe nicer plywood... but not really needed. I didn't have a biscuit jointer or Kreg system at the time, so thicker ply was mandated so I could sink screws. When I do it again, I'll go thinner here and there and save some weight and gain a few fractions of an inch storage. I originally wanted wings on the sides to fold down over the wells, but now that I have used it, not only are they not needed, they would be a detriment imo. The opening on the sides is perfect for stashing long/rarely used stuff.. extraction equip, HiLift, axes, fishing poles, etc etc.
