Just thought I would share my progress on my design. First off let me state that this design is a modified version of Maddiesel67's that can be seen here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/228661-cargo-drawers-w-pull-out-kitchen-build-thread.html
I'll be using rivnuts placed in the floor of my 4Runner to make a flat floor out of ply or aluminum, still undecided. The current design is on it's 5th or 6th version but I'm almost happy with it and ready to start building. I have collected all the small parts in the design except the slides since my design keeps changing. I will be using Accuride 500lb lock in/out slides for all but the utensil drawer which will get some Accuride lock out slides I have from an old project that are rated to around 200 lbs IIRC.
The main casing will be 12.75" tall, 36" deep and 44" wide and made of 3/4 BB. The remaining components will be made from 1/2 or 1/4" BB and I'll be using as many lightening cuts as I can to reduce weight. I'm using a Clear View Easy Slide 150 drop slide that I had shipped from Australia along with a 47qt ARB fridge. The drawer and kitchen will be the same size, I may remove the kitchen and install a drawer part of the time.
The kitchen utilizes a small stainless sink and will have a folding surflo faucet and 12v pump. In my JKU I had a large fixed water tank, I've decided for this build to use 2 separate smaller scepter 5g jerry cans. The stove is a Partner 2 burner 22" and there is 2 propane bottle housed next to the sink under a lift off cover. There will also be a sink sprayer that is housed under that lift off cover next to the sink.
Here is a .gif of my design
Another is a more recent image where I thought to use a small piece of ply across the top of the drawer to make the kitchen "L" shaped.
