Some really great setups in this thread!
Here's mine I built for my Ford Bronco II (with plenty of inspiration from this thread, thank you ):
I built the framework using small thinwall rectangular steel tubing from an old E-Z-Up canopy (this stuff becomes crazy-strong yet very lightweight when you weld the tubes up side-by-side). Floor box side panels are made from aluminum sheet, top is 1/2" plywood (hardwood) with a urethane varnish. Latches are Southco paddle units ('xept for the fridge slide, using a modified barrel bolt for that).
The whole thing is probably around 80 lbs empty I'm guessing (was hopin' for closer to 60, but the 500lb-rated Accuride drawer slides had other ideas lol).
All the pieces:
Frames:
Assembled
Floor box storage:
Main drawer + fridge slide which has a pull-out shelf to place items while cooking or for working on other things:
Drawer extends for a sleeping platform
Finally the whole thing all flips to the rear so the back seats can be used. Access to contents is maintained with a 2nd door on the one unit.
